Saturday morning Blaine came home from a night shift and went to bed. That is when the kids and I went into action. Blaine had been wanting a certain pair of shoes, but had not been able to find them in his size. So Saturday morning I called around to store after store in search of his shoes for the perfect birthday present. Finally somebody mentioned a store that they thought might carry them. So we headed off. When we got there they didn't have them, but they recommended another store. With high hopes we headed off to one last store. I don't think the kids would have made it much longer. I was already bribing with candy and cookies!! :) Turned out they had them but in the wrong color, I was so dissapointed. :( Not knowing what else to get Blaine for his birthday I told the clerk to go ahead and get me the black ones and if he didn't like them I would return them. When he came out he had a HUGE smile on his face and he was holding the brown shoes in a size 12!!!!!!! PERFECT!! I was so excited I actually gave him a hug!
So Blaine's Birthday present was found, now onto the cake! Sorry to dissapoint you guys but I do not make Blaine's birthday cakes. He absolutely LOVES the ice cream cakes from Baskin Robbins, so we carry on the tradition every year of an oreo ice cream cake. Thank goodness for GPS because I honestly had no clue where a Baskin Robbins was in Mobile.
After picking up the cake and a few decorations we headed home, to get everything together before Blaine woke up. After everything was ready, I had Cooper run into the room where Blaine was sleeping and yell, "Daddy, wake up Carter made a BIG mess!!!"Blaine came bolting out of the room where we were holding the cake singing Happy Birthday! I think we surprised him and he LOVED the shoes and the cake! So Happy Birthday Blaine, WE LOVE YOU!!

This kid put away 3 slices of cake!
Carter pretends he is going potty when Cooper goes to the bathroom. Cooper helps him take off his diaper and they sit together talking and playing. When Cooper is all done he tells Carter all done and Carter flushes the toilet for Cooper and then Carter comes to me for a new diaper! Well today there was a surprise in the baby potty for me! Yea Carter! I just wish it was for real and not just a random chance! Hopefully Carter will potty train on his own by just watching Cooper! By the way Britt boys, this is a blackmail picture for your future wives! :)
FYI: I ordered my necklace from
