Congrats & Happy Birthday Nick!

Happy Birthday Nicholas, I love you! Just a few days before Nick's birthday, he finished his last exams at NAIT, and graduated from the Electrical Apprenticeship program. He is officially a Journeyman Electrician, and we are so excited!!! I am so proud of him, congrats honey!

Nick's parents took us out for dinner at the Olive Garden to celebrate

Nick had wanted the Nixon "Graduate" watch, and considering the event we were celebrating, I figured it was a perfect graduation/birthday gift! (He is too spoiled...)

Nick's birthday was on March 29, so I am a couple weeks behind in getting this post up. Ohwell, I guess better late than never, right? On the 28th, Brandon & Kalli came up from Calgary to hang out with us and stay over at our house. Shay came with Kalli and I and we went shopping at West Ed for a bit, then met up with the boys for dinner at Red Robins. We came back to our place after and played games. Sunday morning we got up and had a big birthday breakfast for Nick, then Brandon & Kalli had to leave. After church Nick's parents, and sister Alysha & her boyfriend Mike came over. We had cake and icecream and just had a good time visiting. Nick's parents gave him money to get a new hockey bag, and he's pretty excited for that, he needs a new one really bad!

Brandon & Kalli - we miss you - come visit more often!

Blowing out all 27 of his candles!

A few days after Nick's birthday we got together with a bunch of our couple friends and went bowling. The boys played on one lane, and the girls on another, but we learned that we could hold our own pretty well. A couple of us (namely me...) even beat our husband's score! Haha Nick is usually pretty good and I'm just average, but I fluked out and did really good during our second game. He was pretty peeved...

The boys: Albert, Mac, Melvin, Ben & Nick (hamming it up in front)

The girls: Shay, me, Kay, Christa and Melanie (Kay and Christa are both prego---too cute!)
