Ali got Adopted!

Ali was adopted by Justin today! Ralph signed over his rights and let Justin step in to be the Dad! :) So to celebrate, we ate lunch at Samurai 21 (Mine and Ali's favorite resteraunt ;) ) Then we dropped Sam off at Grandma's and picked up Ali's cousin Izzy to celebrate with Ali, Mandi, Justin, and me. We took them to Fiesta Fun, then went and saw Madagascar 2 at the dollar theatre, then we went to the scrapbook store and all got some fun stuff (with coupon's of course ;) ) Then we ate dinner at Mom's, and then we came home and gave Ali a present. It was a toy shoe so she could learn how to tie her shoes. She's been having problems with it, but within 5 minutes of having the play shoe, she learned how to tie her shoes! We're sssooo glad that she is finally really ours! Now if we could just Mandi adopted...

Justin's 29th Birthday!

For Justin's 29th Birthday Party, we all went out to a new resteraunt called 'Pirate Island Pizza'. It was awesome! It was one of those really neat themed resteraunts. It had Pirate ships, waterfalls, talking parrots, pirates, Bayou's, and lots of skulls, bones, and 'booty'! ;) It was really neat, but very loud. The place was huge!!!!

We got to eat in front of this really cool Pirate Ship! It was in the middle of a battle and the cannons would go off occasionally. It was really fun. The food was delicious! I had a really good steak, and I'm super picky about my steaks...

Sam liked being a pirate, but hated the noise!

There was a playroom for the smaller kids. Ali, Mandi, and Izzy dominated the slide!

There was a lady walking around with a fake parrot on her shoulder, so the girls wanted to be just like her!

Justin liked my home-made card, and the girls conned him into letting them play games before dinner. The arcade was really fun, but extremely noisy!

That place was sssooo cool! I found out that it's the first one of it's kind, and they are branching out into a chain resteraunt.

Thier next one is going to be built in Provo! I think it's supposed to be opening this summer?

For Justin's cake, I wanted to do something that he would find very inwardly hilarious. So this is what I came up with! His brothers call him 'Tink', so of course he had to have a Tinkerbell cake. His favorite colors are orange and purple, so that's what he got! I'm glad he got the inside joke, cuz I don't think anyone else did... ;)

Justin got a really neat Russian t-shirt from my parents. He loves it!

He also got a cool music thingy for his car, so he doesnt have to hook up his laptop to listen to music. He got that from Brad and Scott and families.

Sammy got to eat cake (courtesy of Grandma) and play with dog.

It was a really fun night, and I'm happy that Justin enjoyed his Birthday Party! Happy Birthday Justin!!!!!
