**28**

Well, there I go again; it's almost been a week!!!  Geez ~ no excuses this time, here's my update...

Monday was Nick and I's anniversary ~ we've been together for 13 years (married for 5 1/2).  Lucky 13!!!  Nick was 16 and I was 14 when we started dating in high school ~ high school sweethearts!!!!!  He stole my heart so I stole his last name ;-)

Wednesday was my birthday ~ the big two-eight!!!  Nothing too exciting happened because my mom, grandma and sister were sick.  I cleaned my floors that day - happy birthday to me!!!  Haha.  My family did come over last night and cook supper for me though. 

Here's my younger brother, Jake.  One word ~ different.

Last weekend I decided to host a Super Bowl party so I've been gathering recipes for the big game.  Here's the menu (all from pioneerwoman.com):

~pulled pork sandwiches

~wings

~salsa and guacamole

~brownies and cookies

Sounds yummy to me!!  Not to mention the beverages we will be drinking.  In honor of the party throwing, I've been trying to get some little projects done that I've been putting off for no darn good reason. 

 I organized all of Ruly's school papers into this plastic bin.  I'll add to it as he goes through school.

Then I finally drew a growth chart for Ruly!  I just marked his heighths on his closet door, nothing too fancy but it needed to be done.  I'll add Ruger's at each of his birthdays as well.

Yesterday Nick and I had a parent-teacher conference with Ruly's pre-school teacher.  Turns out he is doing wonderful!!  We are so proud of him ~ so as a little treat I took him to the Shop today to hang-out with daddy for a little bit.  He was in hog heaven!!!

Now if I could only get that kid potty trained!!!!  Dang.
