crazy birthday week

its that time of year again where jesse & julia celebrate their birthdays!!

its so weird to think that this time last year we had only been dating for 5 months.

we thought we knew each other so well :)

anyways as part of jesse's gift this year i took him to one of his favorite places ever!

SIX FLAGS!

along for the ride were my two sisters, cami & maggie, 

and all my local cousins aka lanie, kevin, joey, & frank!

it was also franks birthday.

he turned 16 which is weird.

and he's kind of a stud which is even weirder.

^ baby frank.

here's an awkward picture of the birthday boys:

while at six flags, joe won a purple squid hat which most of us traded off wearing

all. day. long.

at one point someone dropped the hat & we all knew it.. but we just kept walking 

because honestly it's a little bit weird... then lanie (being responsible) went to go 

pick it up. it just so happens we had almost just made a little girl's day & she

was going to go pick it up. way to go lanie.

i also got jesse PLATINUM SCRABBLE...

possibly the greatest gift you can give.

see? :)

we then proceeded to play in starbucks (again). it happens a lot.

for my present, jesse got me these CUTE shoes i've been wanting so badly.

enjoy the cuteness of the shoe.

he also got me scarf & apparently has something big planned in october.. a date! 

pumped for that... no idea what it is!

maggie did this for my birthday :) love her.

aaaand my mom definitely took these from a party she went to...

she says she had permission... im not so sure. ;)

either way i think they're pretty & i will take them.

finally my closing picture:
