Happy Birthday Big A!

Today is the birthday of my husband (of almost ten years) and I am SO very thankful that I get to spend my life with such a loving man of God, a supportive husband and wonderful father to our 2 beautiful boys! What a blessing!!

It has been a fantastic week, full of celebrations...

The boys and I gave him a trip to see the Royals play @ the Braves earlier this week as a gift! He is a huge Royals fan and baseball fanatic, plus we are trying to see a game at every MLB stadium and we had never been to Turner Field before.

We enjoyed eating hot dogs, peanuts, cotton candy and snow cones! And watching our money quickly disappear while doing it! ;)

We always take home a mini bat from the ball parks that we visit, which we display in the boys' rooms!

We had a blast and have now seen a game at 11 different MLB parks...19 to go! The boys have been to 4 stadiums with us so far and they are loving this little family tradition!

Upon returning, his choir surprised him with cake, gifts and a birthday song at our weekly practice! For those of you who do not know, he is the Worship Pastor at our church and we are so blessed to be apart of such a loving church family!

The celebrations will continue this weekend, including dinner and a movie tonight, just the 2 of us! Oh how I love date nights and the fact that my hubby thinks his birthday should be (at least) a week long celebration!

Happy Friday, friends! :)
