IS THAT A DINOSAUR!!!???

We went to the Dinosaur Museum!!!

After a fun Birthday night for Brad, we decided to do some more celebrating with our Friends Kedrick and Lydia. We have been friends since we were all dating, then we got engaged around the same time, got married a week a part from each other, and now she is expecting a BABY! Kedrick's birthday is the day after Brad's so we had a fun time celebrating together!

The four of us!

 Sue the T-Rex! It is the most accurate dinosaur skeleton to ever be found!

The boys had fun testing the arm movement of a T-Rex. You definitely wouldn't be able to clap your hands if you were a T-Rex.

 This leg was huge!!

 A raptor.... (like my photography skills with the shadow?)

 A sign at the museum said that this is a the death pose of a dinosaur. When the die their muscles tense up in their neck and spine to arch that way.

 This is a skeleton of a Neck of a Long Neck Dinosaur. It couldn't fit in one display case barely even three!

 This display case was interesting to me because I have really studied this disease this past week in my environmental health class. Spina bifida is neural tube defect and can cause your spinal chord to not fully form. That is why you take Folic Acid!!! Poor dinosaur...



We had such a blast at the museum! Wish my dad could have been there to tell us some more cool facts!

Later during that evening we went to RED ROBIN! Our go to place for Birthday Dinners.

 We did this same thing last year!!! On the Left are the pictures from the celebrating of their 22nd birthdays, and on the right is the celebrating of their 23rd birthdays!

Not Much has changed!!! LOL

But it is so fun to celebrate with friends that we love! Thanks so much!!

Oh How I love this boy!! 

Bradley Boy is 23!!!

A few days before Brad's Birthday, I asked him what he wanted for his Birthday dinner. I asked him if he wanted to go out or for me to cook. He asked for Mom's Lasagna!!  

So what did I do......???? I called my mom to see how to make her LASAGNA!!

And let me tell you... It turned out GREAT!!!

I also baked up some garlic bread!

 We had Nicole and Nathan and our favorite nieces over for a few min! They were so sweet to bring Brad a special B-day surprise!! We love spending time with them even if it is for a few minutes!!

Brad reading my card!

 A little gift basket with one of our favorite MOVIES!!!

(I love that he can still be such a kid!!)

 His real present from me was this SWEET Watch!!

A special surprise came in the mail from Mom and Dad Assmus!

What could it BE??

SOME SWEET KEEN SANDALS!!!

 (My dad has these same sandals and on our cruise Brad had mentioned that he used to have a pair but they got stolen!)

Good thing my Mom is a good listener!! 

 She also sent us a picture of us from the Cruise!

 THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!

ROOT BEER from NATHAN!!

Brad has already had a few of them!!

Later that night Brad and I went to the Avengers! Literally since we had seen the preview for the movie back in the fall, Brad had been counting the days til his birthday for this movie to come out!!! He also had been watching the trailers and sneak peek clips on YouTube for about 2 weeks now! It was so good and pretty funny! I love to see my Baby have a good time!



I am so grateful for all of our loved ones who made Brad's Birthday so special! Thanks to The Duffy's with sending him a REI Gift Card! Moments ago he just bought a Sleeping Bag! Thank you too for all of those who called him and thought of him on his special day!

Happy Birthday Hubby!! I love you SO Much!!
