Brittany's Birthday and Blake's Report Card

My beatiful birthday flowers.
My card reads:
Happy Birthday, Love Blake, Ben and Blair....and oh yeah, your husband too....


Yesterday we celebrated Brittany's birthday here at the house. She ordered what she wanted for dinner, cheddarwursts and chips, and we all sat around and watched our new favorite show, Flash Forward. She turned 24 yesterday.





Today we, JD and I, met with Blake's teacher Ms. Nunley for Parent Teacher Conference. Blake is really smart in Math, Science and Social Studies however he is having a hard time with reading. {any advice from my teacher friends would be appreciated!!!} She also informed us Blake runs the class. He is in always in the know and wants to be in all the business of everything....wonder where that comes from???? Other than focusing on his reading, he is doing quite well. The teacher is spending some one on one time with him each afternoon. She was real nice and appreciates Blake's helpfulness.





We found out Bryan will be leaving Tuesday for basic. We are going to get together this weekend and have a going away dinner for him.
