A is for Aric

Last week we celebrated A's birthday. It looked a little something like this...

First we went to watch the Shock play their opening game of the season.

We invited our fun friends the Mark and Cami to join us. Cami was a former cheerleader too. We went through two sets of thunder makers...

The game was so fun, even though the ending wasn't what we hoped for. We stayed til the bitter....and I mean BITTER end. The front row people took off for the last part of the game. We hopped up and took their spots and got to be helpers.

It was a fun way to celebrate Aric's birthday. He loves this sport and he loves this team. I love that we get to share these fun times together.
A's actual birthday was on a very hectic Monday. By the time the girl's got home from dance it was after 6pm. We went out to eat and then it was homework, showers and bedtime. Not much time to celebrate but we did the best we could.
Even though the festivities weren't spectacular, the day was an important one. Aric is such a great guy and many in this world are blessed by his life....me and my children especially.

Happy Birthday, Aric!

Jessica, you are seriously so much fun. I love and am impressed by the fact that you and Cami went through 2 sets of thunder makers.

I LOVE the picture with all of you in the background. Those were good seats!

The Wrath of Khandrea's comments always make me laugh. in this case, i only laughed at the first two.

Happy birthday Aric! You know, aric's birthday is also the birth of our friendship, right? wasn't it the guns shirt that you got him for his birthday that united us? for that reason (along with the fact that he makes you happy and seems to be one heck of a husband, father, and human being) i am also very grateful for his birthday. We should have a happy birthday aric/friendship party, should we not?

You guys are adorable!! It's great to have such an awesome husband! I feel the same way. Glad you guys were able to do something fun. I always seem to miss my hubby's because we are in Utah and he's in Texas every year.

Hi Jessica, Thanks for commenting on my blog! I actually don't know Jessica R., I just lurk on her blog, and finally got up the courage to ask her for some sites to see in Spokane. We moved to Pullman, WA last October and visit "the city" a lot. Jessica kindly replied and her #1 suggestion just happened to be Manito Park! Feel free to send me your suggestions too!(amy.paulsen(at)gmail.com) Kari and I have been friends since college, where we were roommates. I love Kari!

Though the greeting is late, the love and care for the Aric of the Aric/Eric due continues to grow each year. I appreciate him more than anyone will ever know or understand. You're best Aric A. xoxo
