September is a busy birthday month in our familia!

Wow... so far 4 down 1 to go.



1) Sept 5th is my younger brother's bday - I call him Moosekey and to my amazement, 1)it has stuck for all these years and 2) others are actually calling him that! Ha!!! We didn't get to hang out with him cause he went out of town for his bday, but we totally hung out at my stepdad's partay.
Moosekey is the guy in the front with the backwards cap. He just turned 18! Not really a Moosekey anymore, but who cares, he's MY Moosekey!


2) Sept 9th is my stepdad's bday - the Koencker! He turned the big 5-0 this year and my mom out did herself by throwing him a luau!! Those are the pictures from the luau in the previous post. Besides the Luau, we secretly got some of his siblings to drive down here (from IOWA, which takes about 20 hrs!) and they stayed at our house. Which I will post about tomorrow (not how much I misse them, but the accomodations - which is what us in the decorating, DIYing blogworld like read about)

Here is the big guy!!! The Koencker! The best stepdad you could ever ask for!! He is a winner! (and I mean it, he's in 2nd place right now in our fantasy football league - I, folks am in 3rd! woohoo)


3) Sept 13th is my aunt Gaby's bday - I truly am not sure how young she is, but she is my mom's brother's wife - and she is the reason I coupon now. (Back in the day she used to be coupon queen and I never knew how to do it, but now I do! - more on that in another post)

This one is kind of tricky cause we don't get to see aunt Gaby too often, but she in this picture from my cousin Cheeto's graduation. She is the one videotaping this picture being taken (can you spot her?? hint: she's in the second row on the left...)


4) Sept 17th (today) is my MOM's bday!!! She turns, well now, that wouldn't be nice now would it. A lady never reveals her age! I will say that next year, I turn 30 and she had me when she was 18 (you do the math)

This is my mom with her dad at Christmas.
This is my mom and her sisters. They are all soo beautiful!!

5) Sept 28th is my aunt Patty's bday - she is well, again, a lady never reveals her age. (hint, she is one year older than my mom)

Here she is with her younger sister, Vero. Patty is very generous and thoughtful! She is always thinking about the hubbs and I when she goes out of town and has an extra room "Thanks, Patty." One thing you may have noticed is that Vero is in every picture - that's for a few reasons 1) she ALWAYS has her camera with her wherever she goes. NO JOKE 2) she is beautiful and goes well in any pictures!!

So you see, this month is a busy month for us and will forever be the 2nd spendiest month of the year (December is the first!)!! LOL.

MOM - I love you and wish you a Fantabulous day today. You are forever to be known as the hardest working person I have ever met and I pray that I can get atleast 1/2 of your energy cause you could definitely out do me in decor/diy anyday! You are the bomb, baby!!! :) (oh and by far the best pull-er-off-er that I know.. cause you can pull anything off in a flash - even if you change your hair more times than people have underwear!!)

Hasta,

Adri.
