Happy Birthday Dae!

Happy Birth-Dae!!! This is my new favorite way of writing happy birthday to Dae, plagiarized straight from his Facebook site where a friend of his wrote it a few years ago. We had lunch at Granny's buffet with the whole fam + Kelly, dinner at Red Robin, and a BR Cake. Pulling out the red carpet treatment for Dae! 

1) Richland BR does not offer the mini-square cake, so I couldn't continue the tradition of just "Dae" written on top 2) Dae's chin is really low in this photo. I think it's because his new driver's license picture is horrible according to him, and it's because his chin is tilted really high so his face looks bigger. hehe

Love BR! They usually do a great job decorating.

Our social calendar has been relatively packed in Richland (we're not used to so much socialization!). We have spent a lot of time with old friends and made a special trip to Walla Walla on Wednesday since my best friend from college, Kerrie, was in town from Boston with her kids Stella and Henry. Yay! It was so much fun swimming in her parents' backyard and just hanging.

Stella, the fish! She is as adept in water as Kerrie.

Adrienne, Jo, Mal and Olin. Adrienne and Jo spent the day with us at the Farmer's Market and at home.

My boys dislike the great outdoors.


Kelly's kids, Danny's kids, and my kid. Kelly, Danny and I have known each other since we were 2 and 3 years old since we all lived in the same neighborhood.
