Brandon's Birthday

Sunday was Brandon's 23rd Birthday so we spent the weekend with his family in Kennewick. It was a very fun weekend. Brandon was so excited for his birthday. I think he asked like 13 times that day if it was present time. We kept telling him he had to wait till after dinner...and then after we clean up...oh then after we carve pumpkins....and clean those up. haha he was going crazy but we ended up letting him open them after we cleaned up dinner, and let me tell you if that wasn't motivation to get him to do dishes, i don't know what is. We had a really great time and we are so happy to get to spend time with his family. We were there two weekends ago and his dad had to work the entire weekend, then this weekend he also had to work the whole time! we figure that we are a curse and every time we go visit we will never get to see him.

On Saturday night we went out to dinner with Brandon's Parents. His Moms Birthday is two days after his so we had a little combined Birthday dinner. We went to Famous Daves. It was really good. Our waiter was a little different but the food was delicious. 

We went to the Corn maze with Brandon's Family. It started raining while we were lost in the maze but I didn't mind. We finished the maze in like 28 minutes or something. We got a little lost at first. Once we finished we had to wait for his little sister to finish the haunted corn maze so a little latter we went back in and went through from the end and we finished in like 11 minutes so not too bad.

They had this cool corn shooter thing that Brandon and his dad and brother did. It was pretty cool. 

Also, they totally had a zebra there which took me by surprise. I don't think Ive ever seen a zebra outside of a zoo. There was also a wallaroo jumping around in there.  

Brandons parents gave him this couch for his birthday. We are SO HAPPY and so grateful. Brandon loves this couch and we kept hinting to them to give it to us, but we never actually thought they would. We cant wait to put it in our little apartment in Rexburg. 

Brandon also got a DVD player from his parents. Ive known about it for weeks and it was driving him crazy to not know what he was getting. 

We carved pumpkins. This one is Brandons...

Its supposed to be sneezing. Its his variation to the very common vomiting pumpkin. It turned out pretty unique. This is my pumpkin.....

Its supposed to be a ghost. Brandon's Mom's pumpkin was amazing. She used one of the patterns and was at it for a while. I just dont have the patience for that i guess. 
After Pumkins we had a mud pie his mom made. It was delicious. It was a great weekend! we had such a great time and we loved spending time with Brandon's Family. Oh and Tammy, Happy Birthday!
