Tennis, Stickers and My Birthday

Tennis
Instead of leaving Washington D.C. the Sunday we were supposed to head back, we (Becky, Becky's friend Wendy, and I) decided to ride back to North Carolina with my Mom because the flights were much less crowded leaving from Raliegh, than DC. Actually, if you want to get technical, we stayed in the D.C. area and extra night to help my little sister, Maria, and her husband, Jeremy, clean and pack up their apartment so they could head out west. Jeremy had walking pnemonia and Maria is prego and so packing and carrying heaving boxes and such just wasn't a good idea at the time.
So, to continue with the story...on Monday after we had Maria and Jeremy's car stuffed to the max, we headed down to good old NC. Although Becky and Wendy left super early the next morning, I decided to stay an extra 24 hours.
Tuesday, when I woke up, my little brothers (Rafael, Boe and Marcus) and sister (Carly) let me tag along with them to play tennis. We took a short cut through the woods to get to the court.

Although this isn't the greatest picture, if you ever hear me say "I miss the trees!", this is what I'm talking about!! Notice how it seems as thought there is a wall of foliage? I think that whoever made up the saying, "You can't see the forest for the trees" was from North Carolina.

Stickers

I got a page of stickers in the mail with some sort of advertisement and left them sitting on my bed. When I came back into the room, Jack had most of them off and stuck to this body. I could not resist, so I helped him with the last few and took a picture. It was so cute. It's the funniest thing - he's gotten a couple stickers on different occaisons from the grocery store and he always puts it in the same spot. He lifts up his right leg, pulls up his pants and puts the sticker on his (right) shin(sp?). (What the heck?!?!? - where on earth did he get that idea?)

My Birthday

So my birthday was way back at the end of August, and I barely got any pictures, but here you go anyway.

First, we went to lunch at Wingers and this was the only picture I got, dang-it! Jack dipping his chicken in their yummy wing sauce :)

I wanted to do something "fun" for all of us that day - and I guess when I say fun for US, I really mean Jack. So we went over to the Petting Zoo at Gardner Village. Jack loved it!

After the petting zoo, I took too long to decide that I wanted a cake from that Nothing Bundt Cakes place because when we got there it was closed. But then Britton suggested Krispy Kreme doughnuts and I was SOOO glad I hadn't gotten a cake. We drove down to Orem and it was the best birthday treat ever!! Of course I forgot to get pictures of that, because I was too busy stuffing my face with HOT doughnuts!
