Mac got me good with a surprise birthday this year. My birthday fell on a Friday this year and he usually doesn't get home until 7:3o. He told me that he couldn't get anyone to cover his late night. So I was a little depressed that the only plans I had was to go to music school and the chiropractor. So my friend Kate said lets go out to dinner and just take the kids. So we went out to Kneaders and then I got home and there were 30 people in my house yelling, "surprise" and I was really surprised. Mac even parked his car down the street so I didn't see it in the garage.
Daddy went through a lot of work inviting people and making sure there was plenty of food.
For lunch my friend Cara came over and brought me lunch from Zupas, doughnuts, a gift and the best birthday poem ever. It turned out to be a really fun birthday.

It was a really pleasant day so Cara's kids and my kids played on the swingset. Greysen likes to push Piper on her swing but is a little rough sometimes. Those two just love each other.
*I didn't get any pictures of the guests at the party and they included: The Baileys, Boyles, Browns, Danielsons, Madsens, Strongs, Celeste, Kenna and Kim Jones. It was a houseful of 40 and so much fun.
Piper is already over 10 months and I have not been very good about taking pictures of her. Poor second child. She is growing up and has finally begun to crawl. She more army crawls but she is getting around.
She is a happy baby and when she gets fussy you can usually throw her up in the air or tickle her and she is all giggles. Just last week she went from her belly to sitting on her bum and pulled herself to a stand on the ottoman all in the same day. Fortunately I had lowered her crib that day. She still seems like such a baby but she is growing up fast.
