Birthdays & 4th July Weekend

On July 1st was Crystal's 19th Birthday!!! She's the baby of all of us wives! We took her to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate because she had never been there before! We had so much fun as always! Our waiter was hilarious! We had told him it was her birthday so we came out with this shot glass of ice cream and a candle! He sang her 'his version' of the 50 cent song "It's your birthday, we gotta party like its your birthday!" We were all laughing! He left but then came back and asked if she wanted 'a sugar-free chocolate shake' and we were all like yeah of course we do since we all love chocolate! Then all of a sudden he started shaking his shoulders ha ha (as you can see he was black and thats why he said 'chocolate shake') We were all dying! :)
Before we left to go eat we whipped up some yummy cupcakes that Janeese had found off a cute blog and we also 'crystalized' all the berries! While they were drying we headed off to the mall to eat! When we got back we finished our yummy cupcakes and this is what they turned out like! Beautiful! Here's some of the betty crockers who made these delicious deserts!
As you can see in the picture of Breelyn.....she was a little too excited to eat hers! Ha ha we were all laughing so hard! And the picture of me with my cupcake is me trying to pull as hard as I could (seriously) to get the paper cup thing off so I could indulge the deliciousness! The paper did not want to come off and they were all laughing at me that I couldn't do it...but I finally did and they were wonderful! :) After eating and laughing we were trying to get Crystal out of the apartment and to go to her own and she was so bummed that we didn't want to celebrate anymore.....but little did she know that her hubby had planned a suprise party for her with everyone in the office in the theater to eat cake and ice cream and Twilight! She was suprised, it was a lot of fun!

4th July Weekend
For the 4th of July, a few of us went and ate at Five Guys Hamburger Joint, watched a little somewhat of a firework show while we were eating outside, then came back to the apartments and made our own firework show! The guys were so excited to do it! Especially trying to blow things up of course! We have a little pond right next to our apartment so they would throw them in the water and it would go off in it! It was cool! The picture of Tyler holding somewhat of a bomb he made of fireworks is a quite funny....he had been working on it forever I swear and they went and lite it off and it was the tiniest spark ha ha! Everyone was laughing so hard because he had been working on it for so long! He was all, "Oh man, I knew that was going to happen!" and he just laughed! It was funny! :) We also got to play with Sparklers! Their my favorite!
I love this picture! Thanks to John to be so nice and stand there with his sparklers in his hand and making the sign of a heart for us ha ha! I was so happy that Bree got this picture with her camera it really worked! We were soooo excited!!! :)
Here's the cute little Prina family watching and playing with the fireworks! Little Kyler loved them! When the guys would do the big ones he would just watch and he would have this funny look on his face ha ha like the one with Sierra holding him and their both looking up!

4th of July Office BBQ....(which was on the 5th)
Another swim party with lots and lots of yummy food! We had potluck so all of us wives made something and then we had gotten the famous Bojangles Chicken and Biscuts! It was very good! We had such a good time!
This time at the bbq we had some other fun activities instead of water volleyball! We had a big bouncy ball that we played four square! When is the last time anyone has played four square?! I remember playing that in Elementry school! Well we were playing it and us girls decided to spice it up a little bit....we had some hip hop music playing so we decided we had to do dance moves before we hit the ball! We were seriously laughing so hard and having such a good time! After awhile of us girls only playing it the boys were getting a little jealous so they joined it! It was hilarious seeing what they came up as for moves! I gotta hand it to them they were pretty impressive! :)


This summer has seriously been so much fun! It has been so relaxing and kicked back! Every Sunday we are all together hanging out at the pool doing stuff like this and just laughing!

Thanks everyone who has made this summer so much fun! :)
