Jerry's birthday

Okay, so it's the 6th of July, and Jerry turned.... FORTY! Whoohoo. So I got him a bike for his birthday... and it matches my bike, only it's blue instead of purple. Same brand, guy bike though, not a woman's... obviously. MINE is a woman's bike, because they simply don't make guy's bikes purple.

Anyway, we went to John's Pizza for dinner, but I FORGOT the camera, so I took no pictures at John's. We went to the Roseville one for various reasons, but the biggest one was that the last itme we were there, with mom, she bought us a "buy one, get one for 5 dollars" token card worth 65 tokens. So we used the one that night, and then still had this one left over, so we used it tonight. We went before 3 for lunch pricing, Jerry and Shabree were free, as were Sammi and Alex (whoo!) so for Bec, Syd and I, it was 20 dollars. We went to dinner on Friday night for 20 for all of us too! YEA! We are spending so LITTLE on dinners out, it's awesome. So a good time was had by all, though Bec and Syd used their tokens (15 of them) in like... 10 minutes. They came back fast. We had gotten a coupon for buy one get one free bumper car ride, so I gave that to Jerry and Shabree as a birthday present, and watched them while they did it (wishing I'd remembered my camera the entire time!!!) I played a game that's easy to get tickets on, and gave all my tickets to Shabree, who's decided to hang on to them until she gets 1000 of them so she can get something good (only 60,000 tickets for a Wii!!!! LOL... of course, I might have been able to get one by now if I'd saved all the tickets I ever got...) We had a REALLY good time. After that, we had a little more to eat (it was 5:30ish by this time), and we left around 6, to get home by 7. I never did have a chance to make a cake, but Bec and Syd had enough dessert at John's, they did NOT need cake. Sammi would hardly eat anything "good" for her, she just wanted ice cream, and to PLAY... "Play... play." She played. We all had a good time, as I mentioned, though maybe not Becca, because I made her watch Alex and Sammi while I played, and watched Jerry and Shabree. Though Bec was not doing a great job of watching them, because I was able to come and snatch Sammi away while she was looking away, and she never even knew I did it... well, until later when I told her yea it was me who took her. God, I hope Sammi would scream bloody murder if a stranger ever did that to her. She probably would, she doesn't like strangers much.
Anyway, we came home around 7, and around 7:30, finally gave Jerry his bike, and about 8:30 or so, finally took our first bike ride as a family. We also gave him a bunch of handmade cards, mine was given to him before we left, everyone else gave theirs to him when we got back (Bec hadn't quite finished hers when we left for John's.)
