kickin' it at the farm

One of Brian's birthday gifts was a weekend work-free in Saint David, Arizona, where his family lives.

We had so much fun.
Saturday.
We went to Sierra Vista to watch "Inception" with his brothers Mike and Jon. It was raining so much that day.
We are soaked in this picture!


Sunday we hung out with the family, ate some of his mom's amazing food, and played Rummikub with Grandpa and Grandma Brown. The games would get intense, I had no idea it could be that exciting!


Monday
We spent all day being adventurous and having a blast with each other. First thing that morning, we went shooting. :)



(pretending to be angry)


I was very proud of myself. I shot a .22 pistol and .22 rifle, shooting range here I come!

Next we went peach pickin'. haha tons and tons of peaches. Yum!

and Finally finally, my favorite part... quadding!

We went on a new part of their land and it was kinda creepy.

We went into the wash and got our quad stuck in the mud...and got ourselves muddy in the process.

(I did not bring socks so I had to borrow Brian's. haha I'm cool)



Such an epic weekend! Tons of memories.

oh and P.S. I ran over a BAT! haha.

Birthday Boy

I love celebrating birthdays, Brian on the other hand doesn't see a reason for it. Challenge excepted! I was going to convince him how important birthdays are and how you should be spoiled and feel special.

With a low budget and very little money for presents, I was going to spoil him the cheapest way possible.


That morning I made french toast and eggs for breakfast.
Unfortunately Brian had to work so I bought him a birthday ribbon to put on his shirt so he would get tips from the customers. haha.



And while he was gone I decorated the house

and made a cake.First cake I've ever made


Again because I'm not working right now, I had to be creative with his presents.

1. a desk that my parents no longer wanted.
Brian hated his small desk from walmart so I switched it out of this one:

2. A beautiful framed art piece of Jesus Christ and I found this Arizona Temple picture and framed that as well.


3.Last and the most exciting is a weekend in St David, relaxing and having fun together.
woohoo!

After work
For dinner we went to our favorite place:
it has Brian's FAVORITE burger ever and my favorite milkshake with awesome favored cherries. This time I got a blueberry favored cherry! AMAZING!


That night we went home, He blew out his birthday candles and ate yummy cake.

Brian was a happy birthday boy. :) Mission accomplished.
