A weekend of birthdays!

My bro-in-law, Brian, had a birthday on Saturday. I went over the barn to give him his present. On the agenda today was working on re-doing the interior of one of the tractors & installing the new planter monitor in the other tractor.

Brian was sanding the glue off of the ceiling of the 4840 so the new upholstery we got will "stick".

I interrupted him to make him open his gift! (& if ya know Brian, you know THAT went over well!) I wouldn't let him get it out of the box because he was hella dirty, but we got him an ITunes card & a U of L Big East Championship t-shirt. (BTW-this is the kind of "Michael Jackson mask" I'm gonna wear when I'm working on the landscape!)

Brad's job was to install the new fancy schmancy planter monitor in the Case.

When I took Brian's present to the barn, I didn't know we were gonna go out to eat for his bday. We all got together & went to Tumbleweed. The kids had just gotten back from Florida for spring break & they were really excited to see their mom & dad!

Lora brought cake to Tumbleweed & let Cole help her pass it out. I thought it was cute how grown up he looked handing it out. I went to take his pic & he dropped the caked! LOL! No worries, he just scooped it back up onto the plate. 5 second rule people!!

The servers came out & sang Happy Birthday to Brian!

Brady took a group shot for me!

After dinner, we went to our BFF's, Matt & Carrie, because Carrie's bday is Monday. We were looking through pictures reminiscing at how long we've been friends. Brad & Matt used to work together & they got along so well, Brad said we should all get together. Matt gripes @ Brad about that decision to this day. He says, "Yeah, Brad. Good idea...let's get our wives together!" We figured out that we've been buds since 2004. It doesn't seem like that long! The weird thing is Carrie & I are a lot alike (opinionated, control freaks, etc.) but we get along really well. I tell her if she's being nutty & she does the same to me!

I wanted Brad to take pics of us, but Carrie was freakin' out becaused she was in her pj's & kept putting the book in front of her face. I was making faces @ Brad so he would take pics when she wouldn't notice. Nice huh?!

We decided to play aggravation. Matt made tea & like any good host, he poured Brad & I a glass & set them on the table. Mine is the one closest to the bottom of the pic. See how much tea is in it?! Brad's is full...this is how Matt shows he loves me!
