Birthday

The bestest girlfriends on the planet got together and had an awesome pizza bday lunch for me complete with my favorite costco cake.  It was the perfect afternoon!!!  Made me feel so loved!

 Then the family hit the movie OZ (Jake and Jer even skipped YM for moi!) and we went to Red Robin for dinner.

 Then home fore some spectacular and oh so thoughtful presents!
Thank you my sweetest fam for spoiling me rotten.

 Gma Smith made these and sent them all the way from South Africa.
So cool!!

And Emily made the cutest countdown board ever.  Love it.

Thanks everyone for a GREAT day!

Jer's Birthday Continued...

 So Jer's number one birthday request has been to have a mini vacation sans kiddos.  So this year we left the kids with my parents (thank you) and went down to stay at their condo in San Diego for a night (thank you again mom and dad!!).  It was so nice to get away and just relax!  We toured the Midway and realized neither of us would have made it in the Navy.   Very cool to see though.

 Then back to Nat and Stan's for one last night of games before heading home.  

And Uncle Jeff with his good-bye tosses.

 Parting is such sweet sorrow!

Thanks Mom and Dad and Prigmores and Bullicks for giving us such a fun vacation!!  

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

My Day

I got spoiled by my family with the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts. I'm one lucky lady.

(And yes those Mentos were Luke's gift to me...he was quick to remind me it's more fun to share).

Loved that box Jake and Luke gave me. It was filled to the brim with strips of paper that said why they loved me.  Doesn't get better than that. Bree got me a spool of thread for my sewing machine and a Walmart gift card with her hard earned money.  And Jer raced home from Vegas to spend the day with me & even brought me some new workout clothes.  So thoughtful!

And as if that wasn't enough, last week I had the most generous friends treat me to lunch and spoil me with presents and the kindest words.  It was the best!  Thank you everyone!!

No Possible Way....

he could be 3.

But he is!

Ask him. He'll tell you he's 4.

Lunch with the gang.
(Doesn't Grady look so big here? And handsome I might add!)

Yummmers! Nothing like a birthday cone!
Unless of course you're the person was disappointed
in the fact that there were no cupcakes.

True friends who sacrificed a quality lunch to put a smile on Luke's face.

Peek - a- boo with cute Eric!

Luke's closing his eyes in hopes of getting a birthday kiss from Elle.

He had to settle for a seat next to her on the slide.

Luke, we can't even say how much we love you!

You are so easy going and sweet

and you make every day happy!

I BEYOND LOVE YOU!!!
Happy Birthday Big Guy!
