I thought it would be fun if Court's birthday started last night and then continued until tonight...so last night I gave Court his first present, A bag of assorted candies from the Sweet Factory. And I then labored (hehe, not really) in the kitchen to make his second present that was for today's lunch.
Because you see Court LOVES meatloaf but I have never made it. (Actually I think I made it once at home when I was in charge of the weekday cooking, but that was a long time ago!) So yesterday I called up mom and asked what all went in meatloaf and then without any real recipe I made meatloaf. Hamburger, two eggs (one didn't seem like enough so I threw in a second), Worcestershire sauce, garlic and herb bread crumbs, a little chopped up onion, and ground mustard. (you know that you wanted to know all that. :p okay, so probably not...but oh well.) and I then put it into little heart shaped silicone cupcake thingies and cooked it up. Wouldn't you know I forgot two ingredients....salt and pepper. Luckily they are good add-ons and it allowed Court to put on the amount that he liked! They turned out pretty tasty (especially with added salt and pepper) and I think Court liked what I had done especially for his birthday lunch.
And then on the way home from meeting I asked him when he wanted his last and final present. In the morning, when he woke up at 3:30 or in the evening at his parents when they give him their gifts. And his reply was, " it doesn't matter to me. Whenever." So I inform him that if I give it to him in the morning he can use it then. And so I guess he was puzzling over that (he was thinking, 'coffee mug? She got me a coffee mug? What?'). And so a little while later he asks if I could just give it to him that night. And so I finally agreed and gave him the book on cd that he wanted (The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 5)). It was so funny though that he wasn't sure and then once he had a hint he couldn't stand not knowing. :) haha, my husband cracks me up.
Anyways, tonight we head to the Mongolian Grill (YUM) to celebrate with his family and then on to their house for presents! It should be fun!!! And then Saturday my family is stopping by to give him their present for him. :)
Yay for birthdays and the fun of presents!! :) Court can't remember what he asked for and so he has no idea what my family got him. Hahaha. It is driving him crazy and he keeps trying to convince me that I should remind him. haha. He is so goofy.

A couple pictures of Brayden...even though she only mentioned Zachary's pictures...*griN*
What a silly 4 year-old
Trying out Lynn's letters to see if they work without paint...looks pretty good!
Caution: Boy At Play
*griN*
Want to know why a bunch of pictures of Zachary appeared...?!?! Well, Sandra said she would comment if I put some pictures of Zachary up...and so I did. :) The things you do for comments. :) Hehe, hope you enjoy them!!
Come on people...you know that you want to comment. :)
Which one do you like best? Can you guess which picture isn't edited?
Maybe you like Zachary in one and the grass in another...please tell me.
I am trying to learn what and how to photoshop in a way that pleases the most people...
so if you feel like helping...leave a comment.
I love this picture of the little man! The only problem is the garbage behind him!!
So, this is how I took care of that problem!! :)
And then I love this series!
'Oops, I looked at her!!'
'Quick look away! I'll just watch Brayden, then she won't catch me again.'
Hehe, so CUTE!!!

Comments...
My little counter on the page shows that 7 people have viewed my page....but I don't see any new comments...come on people...leaving comments is normal behavior :) Hehe.
Want to hear my exciting news? I have a week off starting today!! YAY!!! :) The people I work for left for California last night and won't be flying back until Friday night. :) Anyways, I am going to try to work on editing pictures for Sandra and cleaning house during my time off. :) Although to jumpstart my week I am heading to Megan's this afternoon to hang out and then watch Ellia while Megan teaches paino. Sounds like fun to me!! :)
And then on to other Barndt news, guess who has to work Saturdays now (on top of working 10 hour days the rest of the week). Court does. Poor guy. Although I think he is excited by the prospect of extra money. :)
So you ask how did I spend my first Courtless Saturday? Well I "did the puyallup" with my mom, sister Melissa, Megan, and little Ellia. Oh and the Modins joined us as well. Melissa and Conner hung out with us
and Missy headed off to enjoy the rides with Andrew and Daniel.
We had so much fun! We went through a lot of the animals barns for Ellia, who is in that stage where she loves to see animals and learn their sounds. The horse barn was funny because the whole time she was waving and saying "Hi Neigh Neigh." It was so cute! Then in the Bunny/chicks/roosters/all kinds of birds barn she kept saying "taw taw" because she thought that if you're a bird then you probably sound like a crow. Anyways she was a real joy. :)
And then when she fell asleep we hit the shopping parts and saw a lot of fun things. I bought an Usborne book for Ellia. (I love Usborne, their books are so much fun for little ones. Well and big ones to!) And then her Mama and Grandma bought her some more! So little Ellia left with three new fun books!! :)
I also bought a lot of flavored honey...it tasted so good on their little sampling sticks. YUM!! :) I got Cinnamon, Blackberry, Lemon, Maple Cream, Spiced Apple, and Chocolate velvet. It is yummy, and local!! :) hehe. I am helping the local economy. :) At least that is my excuse! *griN*
Oh and we went to a horse show, I think it was draft horses, it was a lot of fun watching them pull the wagon and maneuver around the cones. Only one team knocked down a cone. Ellia kept clapping and say "Yay Neigh Neigh" haha and then every now and then she would actually make a horsey sound it was so cute!! And if you are thinking well isn't saying neigh niegh making a horsey sound? Let me assure you...it isn't. Her horsey noise is a neigh that goes up in places, down in others, and sounds a lot like a horse. :) She is so talented!
Well, I am off to try to do some cleaning before I head out, so ta-ta!! :)
