Hello! After boot camp I went for a little run, but half way through I had to make a call. Then, I realized Tina was g-chatting me so I walked and g-chatted instead We’re cooking some fun stuff up for next year!
I am still trying to figure out a long term plan for running after camp. Luckily, I found a new path today! Buuuut, it’s only about 2 miles long so the search continues.
When I got back home I devoured a tangelo while cooking up breakfast. I obviously started attacking this meal before taking a picture.
And I took a million vitamins. I got a new multipack set for Ben and I, but I already think this many is crazy! Ben takes them all at once too!!?! I’m hoping these pills give me magical powers. I’ll keep ya posted.
The call I had to make mid-run was to my little brother Matt. Today is his 11th birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Matt!
Matt’s birthday dinner will be at Rainforest Café – he always picks that place! Here is our visit to the Rainforest Café last year. Yes, he already requested we order the Volcano Cake again!!! I’m definitely excited about that
Maybe I should get him a tiny pinata like my other brother had…
Winner of the Nasoya prize pack is: Akemi – send me your info!
Question: How many siblings do you have? Brothers or sisters?
I’m stuck with 2 guys, luckily they’re not so bad
I also have 2 brothers… Gotta represent!
Only child here but also a holiday birthday so I can commiserate with your brother. December 20 for me!
I have two younger sisters- and I feel very lucky! My husnad has two brothers and a sister- and his childhood sounds like growing up at the zoo- a lot of jumping, yelling, pushing… 🙂
aww Happy Birthday to Matt! Hope you all have fun at Rainforest Cafe!! That dessert looks amazing! 🙂
I have one sister and one brother! I’m stuck in the middle!
I have an older brother and his birthday’s right next to Halloween..so it’s still a holiday, but not a gift giving holiday so it really doesn’t matter in terms of that.
Happy Birthday, Matt!!
I have a brother and 2 step-sisters, even though I just gained them in April and we are all ranging from 25-29. 🙂 But I will still count them!
I have two half sisters, but we are so close that we’ve always dropped the “half.” It gets a little awkward when I talk about their mom or stepdad; we share a dad but have our own moms. I love them dearly. I also have a sister-in-law.
Hi Monica!
I have been reading your blog for a while now, but this is the first time I comment. I enjoy your honest style of writing. You also glow love of living, and that is very inspirational.
I equally run, and am actually trying to get back to a healthy weight after an anorexic period. Your example boosts me. I have a bro and a sis. They are far, but very precious!
I only have on little brother but he’s 30 now so he’s not that cute anymore. 😉
Happy Birthday to your brother Matt! I vote yes on the mini pinata! That’s just too cute.
I have one brother who’s birthday is also overshadowed by the holidays. His birthday is on New Year’s Eve.
Awww happy bday to your brother!
I have one brother (34 – he is a little over a year older). We unfortunately do not get along. Glad you get along with your brothers!
I have two brothers and one sister. I TOTALLY adore them and miss them! The holidays really make me miss them. Lots of great memories.
Happy Birthday, Matt! He has great taste in ordering the volcano cake. He must take after you. 😉
I have a sister and a brother. My sister is 5 years younger than me, so we weren’t close until we got closer to adulthood. It’s great now!
Happy Birthday Ben!
I have 3 brothers, no sisters.
happy birthday matt! now that you’re 11….. are you single? not for me of course, but i do have a 12 yr old niece….
I have two younger brothers. One is only 18 months younger, but the other one is 8 years younger. He was my first baby! That cake looks amazing, no wonder you lil brother wants to go there:)
I have two younger sisters, ages 14 and 17. So. Much. Drama.!
I have one younger sister and four younger brothers. Happy Birthday to Matt!
I have one younger brother. He’s okay 😉
My niece’s birthday is 12/29, I try and make her birthday just as big a deal as Christmas. That’s why I’ve always liked that my birthday is May, gives me a nice long break in between.
That’s my birthday too! That’s so nice that you do that for your niece. It’s tough having a birthday right after Christmas because people are usually tired of celebrating by then or are already thinking about New Years…
Too true! Oh and of course by “my birthday is May” I mean my birthday is IN May. Ahh the brilliance of not proofreading before posting 😉
I am an only, but I have a 15 year old sister in law. So that kinda counts.
Happy birthday Matt!
Ha! I have sibs that are much younger too- 14 and 15 (I’m 31). I also have a bro that’s 34. And 3 steps. One big happy American family!
I am the oldest of 3. I have a brother and a sister and we are all 2 years apart 😉
Happy Birthday to Matt! I saw that volcano cake in person once and I wanted to tip over tables and run people over just to get to it. But I restrained myself.
My son is almost 11…here come the preteen years. I can’t wait.
Hi- fellow redhead stopping by. 🙂 I always start eating before taking pics of food, too! And I was just at Rainforest cafe for the first time, we took our daughter there (2yo) and she had a blast. Happy bday celebrating!
Aww happy birthday to him!!! I have an older brother, and an even older half brother!
I have two sisters (one that’s 18 months younger than me and one 7 years younger), and our “baby” brother who is now a young 19 and in the Navy. I absolutely adore my siblings… now that I don’t like with them 🙂
Oops, I meant live… I promise, I like them very much!
HA!!! Glad you clarified 😉
I alwaysss take bites out of my food [if I don’t completely devour it] before I remember to take any pictures! Sometimes, food > blog in my world 😛 Happy birthday to your brother! We used to have a Rainforest Cafe in our mall but it closed a few years ago- majoy bummer… All of the decorations [raging animals] always were a blast!
Your little brother is adorable!!! And that volcano cake looks amazing. I actually have 3 brothers & 2 sisters. 3 + 3! Big, happy family. I love it so much!
