Sure love the nephews!

So today was my middle nephew Caleb's 8th birthday...and it was also a big basketball game of his. He seemed so grown up. I don't think most of us called my sister because I don't know who was more surprised Lisa or Caleb that much of the family showed up for the basketball game? Chelsea and Adam picked me up, and as soon as we arrived at this little elementary somewhere deep in the wooded hills of Woodinville, Lisa and fam drove up...her, Caleb the b-day boy, Jordan 10, Joshua 5 and Perry, along with Nana (my mom)...when we walked in we found Mary Lou, Perry's Mom, and Kendra, his sis and hubby. Then Dad walked in with Mar on his side. Yes it was a regular ole family reunion of sorts.

So I was thinking this could be awkward but it wasn't...infact after the game there was an hour and half to kill before the Jordan's 1:30 game and we all went to lunch at Molbaks Cafe in Woodinville. Kinda weird to have lunch with my Dad on one side, and my Mom on the other. It's just that is only happens once every 10 years or so. What is that? Once in a blue moon, as they say?

So Jordan played his game which was a bunch of aggressive 10 year olds, and a very good nail-bitting game to the last 30 seconds. After the second game we all ended up opening Calebs presents in the elementary school parking lot...because we were all going our separate ways and Lisa needed to go home and vacuum for the onslaught of 8 years coming over 2 hours later for a backwards birthday party (wear your clothes backwards, have the cake upsidedown and eat it first, walk backwards, etc.)

What a fun day! I love when life throws you an amazing moment. My heart is full.

Now my heart is even fuller, because now I am home and Noel just walked in was a huge bouquet of tulips for me! It's our 1 year anniversary (actually tomorrow) and it's extra special since he knows I love tulips but he is allegic. Guess once we cohabitate this may be my last tulips I'll ever get to have out...but I don't care, I'd rather have Noel over any stupid flowers...though did I mention how much I love them?
