hAppY 31sT biRthDay!

today is my oldest brother nates birthday. birthdays are a really big deal to nate. we are reminded from the 1st day of june that his birthday is june 22, nobody can use the excuse that they forgot! we decided to go to mom and dads for a bbq for nate and shanes birthdays (shane is my bro-in-law). we had such a good time. the food was delish and the entertainment was awesome.stephanie got a bag of water balloons. there were 250 and we filled them all, with a few brakes here and there. we played water balloon volleyball. it was so much fun. the hardest part was trying to keep the kids from throwing them at each other...so needless to say our little game of volleyball turned into a huge water fight, but seriously can you have water balloons and not start a war?
here is a pic of allan and i enjoying our evening together! it is not often that i get a picture that i like enough to of us to share.

here is nate and i. he is wearing the hat that i got him for his birthday. he has been wanting one for a while now. he is usually such and easy person to please. happy 31st birthday bubba, i love you and am so glad that you are my big brother. you are the BEST!
