Happy 30th Birthday hubby!!

Daniel’s officially old now that he’s hit 30; makes me happy to be in my twenties for another two years.

I went to the store this morning (and you wouldn’t believe how many people are actually at the grocery store on a Sunday morning at 7am!) with Zach (in his pajamas and crocs) to get stuff to make Daniel a yummy breakfast as well as groceries that we needed.. somehow Zach convinced me that we needed to buy Cookie Crisp cereal for daddy as well as donuts for all of us. He also somehow convinced me that the cereal he bought for daddy needed to be opened up in the car while he rode in his brother’s carseat. Instead of me fixing Daniel breakfast he ended up having Zach’s leftover cookie crisp and a donut (but since he’s off tomorrow I might make him breakfast then!).

We picked apples at a local orchard. We had to ride on a wagon to get to where the apple picking was and though the woman sitting next to me was very nice, I’m pretty sure she was wearing a nightgown with a pair of shorts. . . and tennis shoes.

Highlights from our day:

 Aren’t those the cutest little tushies? 

 My little sweetheart.

Riding on the wagon…actually, we were still sitting at this point waiting for everyone to get on. Before the wagon started chugging along, both boys were sitting on Daniel’s lap.

3 of my 4 favorite guys
(my daddy is my other favorite!).

Zach had one apple in his bag and was on a mission to get more!

I thought this was the funniest face!
They were honeycrisp apples. … . so juicy and crispy and sweet! 

Notice the drip down his chin from his apple?

Can you tell how big the apple is? Soooooo tasty!

Picking apples together!

Zach picking a “really tall” apple. The apple trees are dwarf trees so there really aren’t many apples that are high up. We have a picture of Jacob like this when he was maybe 14 months old in CT where the trees were definitely not dwarf trees --- Daniel thought we needed one of Zach.

Check out my apple!

Jacob insisted on Daniel picking him up for a tall one too.

YUM!

Look mom, no hands!

Daniel and Zachy.

Zach…eating his 3^rd apple!!!!

mmmm….cake!

Notice Daniel stealing a taste of the whipped cream while we sang happy birthday to him.

It took all 3 of them to blow out the candles! 

(and yes, that is my totally awful, outdated kitchen in the background...

we're hoping to totally renovate it next summer!)

And of course, he enjoyed his cake. 

I asked Daniel where he thought we’d be 30 years from now…I got no response!! I said “Do you think we’ll have grandbabies 30 years from now?” So of course, he says to Jacob “Jake, are you going to have kids when you grow up???” Jake’s response “Nope, I’m going to be a construction site man.” I’m glad my kid has big dreams.
