the back of yo head is ridiculos

and unto us, an ashley was uncovered...

 and boy, oh boy was she!

we started my visit proper, with none other than a photo booth session for one and all....

and then.

i got sick...

luckily, i was feeling mostly back to normal for sweet abby's birthday!

 birthday girl got to go on a birthday date with one of her besties! 

...

in the mean time, the gang and i went to adventure downtown.

 after downtown exploring came to an end,

kaylo, momma and i began craft project numero uno!

 {unfortunately i didn't take a before picture :(}

 apparently spray paint isn't handled well in the munson home... two bloody noses at one time!

and a sweet, tired pup.

 FINALLY, i get my very own birthday date, with the sweetest Abby of all!  Not always do we get to have these sort of dates, and when we do, they must be extra special!  Abby made out like a bandit, I made sure of it. 

 Craft project numero uno finished!!! 

 AND THEN we found ourselves celebrating birthday number TWO!

birthday boy. birthday boy. he's a he's a birthday boy.  birthday boy. birthday boy. birthday boy! birthday boy gets celebratory jack-in-the-box at midnight.... as every birthday boy should.

 

then birthday boy got to go to rockies diner, where they serve you on rollerskates!!!   {every birthday boy's dream}

 strawberry peanut butter shake... how did i not think of it first??? can you say todiefor?

 baby brobrobear in the finest of brobrobear form for the birthday boy!
