Happy Birthday Emily! Part 2: Cheesecake Factory and Grandma's House

Emily's birthday dinner was at the Cheescake Factory!  Whew.  All I have to say on my kids' behalf is  thank goodness the Cheesecake Factory is also loud. Nuff said. When we got there, the kids took a long time to just stare at all the cheesecake behind the glass!  Ha!  At dinner, Noah ordered a rack of ribs, and shockingly enough, finished almost ALL of it!  Emily is going to be feeding him constantly because that boy is growing.  We had a great and YUMMY dinner, and afterwards we went to Grandma's house to surprise Em with the cupcakes my mom had made for her birthday.  Well, let's just say that there is a reason why we have NOT gone into Grandma's house since before Cody was born, and it was yet again confirmed this evening.  Austin and Cody got into EVERYTHING, and even when we kicked them outside, they still caused trouble!  Man, they were worked up!  I know my Grandma's blood pressure probably got a little high...but not as high as mine!  Whew!  We did, however, get some great pictures before strapping my children in their carseats and peeling out of the driveway!  My mom had Emily's camera at one point and just kept snapping pictures.  Emily was holding Cody and he started hitting her (ugh, we have to work on this...he thinks he is play fighting but he hits hard and IN THE FACE), and although Em was laughing, and Cody thought he was just having a good 'ol time, I was yelling at him and Austin...there are more than the ones I posted...these are just the best ones!
