"Gimme that girl in the big bonk jeans"

You probably have to turn the volume up but it's definitely worth it!  This video was on the way home from Mitchell's birthday party.  Drew just broke out into a song/rap.  Check out what he says at 42 seconds.  HILARIOUS!

Happy Birthday (or week) to Me!

I thought I wouldn't like having my birthday out of town because I thought I would have just a small birthday celebration with many people missing. Instead, it turned into a birthday week! The day before my birthday, Nikki and her fiance, Eric, took us to get sushi for my birthday because she had a meeting on my birthday. We went to an awesome sushi place called Ringo.


On my actual birthday we went to the awesome Three Dog Bakery (which is a post in itself)...

...got a free bone for Angel...

...went in every revolving door together...

...did lots and lots of shopping on Michigan Avenue...

...got Garrett's popcorn...

...went to Millennium Park...

...walked across a bridge to the art museum...

...enjoyed the Chicago Art Institute for free...

...had Chicago pizza... (and yes, it is delicious)

...and got a watch/bracelet from mom which I love.

On the way home on Saturday, I got this!!!!!!!

A Canon Rebel T1i!
Needless to say me and Mag have been taking pictures ever since.

THEN...I get home and William surprises me and takes me to get a new phone! (And a new memory card for my camera.) Which is awesome. I have been waiting for a new phone for so long! And you know I love phones.



On Sunday, we went to Camino to celebrate Aunt Sissy's and my birthday. Thanks to Sissy and Tiff who were sick, they came anyway. Love you guys! Drew wasn't feeling very well either but he can still posed for Maggie. :)

Mom and Makyna

Uncle Tony and William

Those not pictured were Sissy, Tiffany, and Derek. Tiff and Sissy probably would have killed me if I put pictures of them up because they were very sick with some kind of pink eye.

Thanks to our photographer Maggie, she got a play by play of my birthday song.








Just some practice with my new camera!


Thanks to everyone for everything!
