Happy Happy Birthday Birthday


Today was Tyler and Landon's 2nd birthday. What a day it was. First it started with AT&T calling at the crack of dawn to tell me that they were coming at 8:00 to change our phone service. That was fine because we have been waiting a few weeks for it and also our DVR is broken and they were going to fix that too. So, we all got up and got ready. In the meantime the AT&T guy is here. He fiddles for a few minutes and then says that he is just waiting for the order to process all the way........4 hours later he is still here and we are all ready and waiting to start our day. It wasn't even like we could watch TV or anything. He finally says that he will just go and then call us when the order is through and all we have to do is turn on the box.

What??? Are you serious??? That is all we were waiting for??
Nice.

We finally load up the kids in the car, go to turn it on and get a click-click-click. Ron and I just stared at each other and had to laugh because, seriously??? Was this happening. Of course I freak, because that is all we need, a broken car. How will we get the kids to school??

Ron calls his brother because he is a mechanic and he says that it should just be the battery. Phew!! We can handle that. Unload kids from car.

Me: K....so get the cables and let's jump it.

Ron: Uh...we don't have any cables.

Me: Of course we don't.

So off to Auto Zone Ron goes. He comes back, jumps the car, load up kids and off we go.

We decide to go to Chili's since that is Tyler and Landon's favorite place (ha, not really but we all like it) and eat. We get back in the car to go to Target and actually buy them a present and we hear click-click-click again!

Dylan from the backseat: We're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron finds a good Samaritan to jump us and off to Walmart we go to buy a new battery.

The End

Whew...what day. We did have time for a photo-op with a cupcake for the boys.

So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU LITTLE STINKERS!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!

What a CRAZY day! I'm glad you were able to spend it together as a family. Hope the boys had a wonderful birthday! I can't believe they are 2! Give them a birthday hug from me. Well...maybe just hi-five Tyler since he normally won't let me get close enough to him. Ha! He has come a long way since we first met though! :o)
