Birthday BOY

Dad always knows how to have a good time! I love when his birthdays come around because they are always entertaining. This year, both Paige and April were able to be here for his birthday—so, it was extra special. Mom took us out to eat at the local Mexican place and the employees gave him a time when they sang Happy Birthday to him—or I should say Dad did!

Picture this, the waiters are bringing in the dessert with the glowing candle singing Happy Birthday in Spanish, then slap Dad with the whip cream at the end. Well, the funny thing is Dad slapped it right back on them! …too funny! I am going to post some pictures Paige just sent me. I’m glad she was able to capture it all. I just wish we had the picture of Dad putting the whip cream on them!

Nola!

Ben & I made a quick trip during my birthday weekend to New Orleans and boy did we have a blast! There were many “firsts” for me! Ben wanted to take me to Bourbon as soon as we got there because I had never experienced it. That sure was an eye opener! As soon as we stepped foot on Bourbon, I saw a Tranny! I also saw the infamous Tin Man. (All-in-all it was a great experience.)

We had so much fun walking around the French Quarter and experiencing the Cajun cuisine. Ben had never experienced Café Du Monde, so we had to do that first thing Sunday morning. By the way, he is now addicted to beignets! Before leaving, we promised we would come back soon. Heck! We are only 1.5 hours away.

As soon as we walked into our home, we were greeted with a “Happy Birthday” from Mom and Dad. They also had a short vacation with some friends during the weekend and stopped in on their way home.

Elias "Kees" Pettit is here!

Kees was born at 4:12 a.m. on October 18, 2007 to April and Brooks. He was a whopping 5lbs 13oz and 19in long. Mom, Dad, and I will be traveling down to the coast on Friday to check this little dude out. I cannot wait!
