We headed out to Alisha’s dad’s house to hang out there for a little bit as he was back from Florida for a few days.  We spent some time just hanging out and they gave us 3 boxes of liquor to take back home with us which is now stocked for when we have people over.  After hanging out there for a bit we headed off to my parents house to have some matzah ball soup and potato latkas!  MMM!!!  I could eat that every night of the week.  SO good!  – Speaking of which, we need a good Jewish deli around here that serves bagels and stuff like that.  We then had our normal birthday celebratory cake – Carvel ice cream cake of course!  Those damn crunchies are like little black crack seeds or something!

Last week, Heather had sent us an invite to head over to their house to throw a little surprise party for Jarrod with a few of our neighbors and some their friends / family.  We headed over at 12:30 while Jarrod was out with Ethan to get ready to surprise him.  Heather did a great job planning it and picking up lunch for us to enjoy.  It worked out perfectly and Jarrod was quite surprised.  We hung out for a few hours and then headed back home to get ready to go out for Kara’s birthday dinner. 

Kara’s birthday is a day after mine and she wanted to head to Maggianos to grab some much needed birthday dinner!  We headed up to Maggianos at Perimeter Mall with Alisha’s mom and met Kara and Lin for some dinner.  As always the food was delicious and we had a great time.  After dinner we were all heading up to our house to spend the night.  We decided to hit Cheesecake Factory for some dessert before continuing home.

We went down with Bobby and Dan to grab some dinner and drinks and met Andrea and Ryan there.  We had a great time just talking it up but I will say I was not impressed at all with the beers.  I felt as though they were very watered down.  It was almost like good beer Bud Light style…I don’t know… there was absolutely no beer taste there.  Let’s put it this way.  We all know Alisha hates beer…. she actually liked this. 

I dont know if we had a bad batch or something, but it was no good in my book at all.  We were one of three tables on a Friday night and that may be why.  The food was okay, nothing great really, but the service was great.  Our waiter really went out of his way for Alisha and that was really cool of him.

It was a chill night with some good company to wrap up my birthday.

Princess Spencer

We went to La Parilla, a Mexican restaurant at Windward Parkway and Hwy 9.  They probably have the nicest staff I have ever experienced for a restaurant and food to match.  I highly recommend it to anyone that happens to be in the area.  Spencer cracked us all up as he ordered wings at a Mexican restaurant LOL.  Who does that???  ha ha.

Paul

After dinner we headed out to Cold Stone for dessert before going to Durty Kelly’s Public House.  It was quite a nice place.  It was layed out very neat and had the typical pub feel.  The only thing that I can complain about is that the band was just ridiculously loud.  You literally could not talk to the person sitting right next to you even if you were screaming and we were as far from the band as you could possibly get in there.  It was rough.  They had the typical pub type beers, and what looked like great food.  I would give it another shot for sure as it may have just been that band…. but it was just so darn loud!

Wings at a Mexican rest???

Happy Birthday Amber!  We are glad we got to celebrate with you!  And how did we not manage to get a single pic of you??  LOL

Holy Taco

As we hopped onto 400 I asked Alisha if that is where Kevin and Ashley’s new house was and she said yes.  I decided to pull a u-turn to swing by real quick.  We got the tour of the house and hung out for a while.  We had not seen them in about a month so it was great to do so.  The new house is beautiful.  Congrats guys!  We got to see Kevin, Ash, Stan, Kristen, Grant, and Spence.  It had been forever so it was good to catch up.

We ended up leaving not too long after as we had a big day Saturday and we were exhausted.

On Saturday morning we had plans to head over to our neighbor’s house to join them in the celebrating their daughter Vivian’s first birthday.  We had a great time hanging out with our great neighbors and eating great food. 

Homemade Cake

Congrats Vivi!!!

Happy Birthday

About halfway into the night and a few beers, Ryan Barlock decided to talk smack about his running speed that he maintains from high school.  Since we all wanted a laugh we talked him and Kevin into racing up the street to see who was faster.  Kevin beat him by a decent distance which we all laughed about in good fun.  Shortly after Ryan started to feel worse and worse until he eventually puked over the deck several times.  Somehow I managed to leave in just enough time so that I did not add to it.  I ran away gagging and coughing ready to throw up myself.  GROSS!

We had a great time eating some food and drinking some beers and then headed home.  It was great to see them again as we dont get to very often.

On Saturday night we met up with Mike, Aubree, Andrea, Ryan, Gary, Bradel, Sarah and Nathan for a night out at Maggianos in Buckhead to celebrate Ryan and Alisha’s birthdays.  We had a great time talking with everyone and enjoying the great food at Maggianos.  After dinner we tried to grab some dessert but SOMEBODY bailed on us while I was trying to get us some seats. 

We had a great time though.  It was nice to go out and have a relaxing and fun dinner with everyone.

This past weekend we decided to get everyone together to come out to have some dinner and drinks for my birthday.  We had an excellent turnout. We had to make reservations for 20!  Ashley, Kevin, Mike, Aubree, Jason, Amber, Krystle, Phil, Spencer, Shawn, Hector, Reagan, Bobby, Jen, Paul, Rickie, Lauren, and Craig all made it!

We grabbed dinner at Loredos across from the avenue in Cumming.  It was a little tight there but we made it work.  While we were there I got the typical birthday celebration at a Mexican restaurant with the sombrero. 

Is that a Dirty Sanchez??

After dinner, we were sure to show Kevin http://1guy1cup.net.  I know most of you have not seen this and if you are one of our grown folk readers…. I urge you to proceed with caution… as a matter of fact I can almost assure you that you do NOT want to see this video.  Now that your curiosity has the best of you, if you MUST proceed you HAVE to be ready for the biggest shock of your life.  It is not at all what you expected… and you have to watch it all.  It is NOT work safe and certainly not child safe either.  To see Kevin’s reaction check out the photo gallery.  It explains it all.  :crackup:

After that I had Kevin watch the video above.  It is a humorous take on puberty from a talking penis with some nasty adult humor tossed in.  Quite hilarious but you must have a sense of humor

We then headed over to Taco Mac to have some drinks before calling it a night.  Thanks to everyone that came out… and I am sorry to those that could not make it.  We’ll catch ya next time!

Don’t forget to check out our photo gallery for pictures of Anthony’s Birthday and the Cumming fair at pictures.neilnatic.com .

Wow.. What a day!  After being a little groggy from the night before, we got up and headed out to Douglasville to celebrate Anthony’s 3^rd birthday at Ryan and Andrea’s house!  He had a pirate themed party which turned out really cute.  It was great to see Ryan and Andrea again (they had to leave early from the homebrew party).  The whole party was very cute.  Anthony got the coolest toy ever!   It was a remote controlled dinosaur that was so awesome!  I want one! 

After the party Alisha called Aubree to see if she had taken a pregnancy test.  Alisha had been saying that she was pregnant for about a week and she was really hoping that she was.  She just wanted to have someone else go through the same things that she is about to and why not make it a good friend!  Aubree had taken the test and guess what.. PREGNANT!  Aubree was pretty skeptical and refused to believe it so they made plans to come to our house, buy some good ones, and have Alisha use the cheap ones that Aubree was using.  Both came out pregnant!  Congrats guys!  This is so exciting!!

After finding out the good news, we headed out to the Cumming Fair to meet up with Hector, Reagan, Bobby, and Jen.  We headed to the petting zoo to see all of the animals there and ended up getting separated from them for the rest of the night.  L  Sucks we were not able to hang out longer, but it was great to see them again.  We’ll have to catch up with them next weekend after Edwin’s Oktoberfest or something.  We spent some more time walking around the fair and checking out the … well… locals and just having a good time. 

It was a fun filled day and we had a great time.  These weekends go by so fast L
