Sunday (yesterday) was Johnny's birthday and we celebrated his "birthday weekend" with a visit from his mom, Virginia, and by attending a 3rd birthday party for Mr. Noah Schmit. Sadly I didn't take any pictures from either event :-( but we had a great weekend! During Virginia's visit we spent time just visiting at our house, eating pizza and a watching a movie one night, exploring the countryside of Kearney, NE and even shopping. It was so much fun having her here and can't wait for her next visit when Mellany arrives.
Noah's birthday party was a blast and it was the perfect day for a party! We had a great lunch, watched him open gifts, bust open a pinata, and eat cake and ice cream. As an added bonus, DJ & Shantel surprised everyone by announcing that they are expecting another baby in May!!! We really couldn't be more happy for them!!! We had to leave the party a little earlier than we really wanted to because my feet started exploding/swelling, but we had such a great time and can't wait for many more birthdays together. The rest of our Sunday was spent with Johnny washing his truck, mowing the yard (and blowing off the grass on the sidewalk using his new leaf blower given to him by Virginia as her birthday gift--which is really a pretty cool gift that deserves its own post--basically it is a gas tank with mower that you can buy different attachments for. He needed a leaf blower so that's the one he picked out; but you can get just about any kind of tool you could ever think of. It's pretty awesome!) (yep, that's what he wanted to do on his big day--wash the truck and mow the yard) and then not much of anything else except spending time together. It was wonderful!
This next weekend will be our last trip to KC (until after Mellany arrives) for our baby shower and I really cannot wait to see all our friends and family!!
The traditional Barrett ice cream birthday cake......this year Johnny chose a strawberry, red velvet cake from Coldstone and it was so yummy!
Johnny already got his gift from me (his AR-15) a while back, but while shopping one day, Mellany decided she wanted to get her daddy a picture frame to put on his desk at work. He absolutely loves it and is ready to put her picture in it and display it in his office!
Happy Belated Birthday, Johnny! You and Russ with your car washing and lawn mowing... you two are a lot alike! ;) Russ got a leaf blower from the boys for his birthday last year... And how sweet is that frame?! Adorable. Can't wait to see you two (three) on Saturday!! :)
