Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to me! This was one of the best birthdays I have had in a while! I got to celebrate for the whole weekend! David had everything planned and would not tell me anything- which usually isn't the case. Friday night he took me to Rodizio grill which was really good. They have guys that come around to the table with different meats on skewers and they just cut you off how ever much you want. They had pork, chicken and even grilled pineapple (my favorite). The best one of the night was chicken heart! NOT! We both got brave and at least tried just one, David ate the whole thing and I ate a quarter of it after seeing his reaction! Over all it was delicious and we both were super full when we left! After we were done David wanted to drive all over town, which after dinner all I wanted to do was go home and sit on the couch! We instead got home and David started acting funny and keeping an eye on his phone then said we needed to go for a walk. I of course was suspicious, but went along for the walk. When we got home he went to make a phone call and told the person on the other line that we were home and they could stop by at any time! Now at this point I was super confused as to who would be coming over around 11pm. David wouldn't crack or give me any clues of course. Then the door bell rang and I opened it to find.... my family!!! I was super surprised and excited to see them! David had planned with mom to come for the weekend and spend my birthday with me! It was a great surprise for sure- I would have never guessed that they would drive up all night to see me!On Saturday we spent the day shopping till we dropped! I actually found some clothes for myself which is a rarity and also a duvet cover and sheets for the bed. Now we look a bit more grown up at least! Next on my list is an actual bed set! We had lots of fun just hanging out and shopping the day away and they enjoyed actually having some sun and not wearing their winter coats back in UT.

We drove mom's car around the whole time and us 3 plus David were all smashed in the backseat! Good thing we had a camera to kill some time!

For Sunday, my actual birthday we went to the Denver Zoo. It was lots of fun and enjoyed being able to have my fam there with me to have some fun. The only thing was that the animals seemed to all be sleeping or hiding in the shade out of the sun. Madi was the official photographer and once she gets her pics uploaded I will have them to show. We did lots and lots of walking around and I ended up with a boo boo. Good thing mom was there to get me all better with a Garfield band-aid! It was a nice blister from my flip flops! Over all it was a good day at the zoo which was on my list of things I wanted to do this summer any ways. After the zoo we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, which was good as always! They of course sang Happy Birthday, but at least this year I did not have to get on a saddle!

We wore out poor David with all the fun! :)

On Monday morning we ate breakfast then the fam had to get on the road! :( I enjoyed having them stay for the weekend and was sad to see them go. It was a great weekend and was super excited that they wanted to spend their long weekend with me! I love you all and thank you for staying!

David did a great job on Birthday plans this year, now I don't know how he is going to top this one! LOL Thanks for a great weekend everyone!!

I have a new love...

YOGURT! Now usually I don't care for it too much, but last night I fell in love!
It makes for a great food fight! Yeah- we got in a food fight in the house that may or may not have been started by me! haha! I do have to mention that I was eating a go-gurt until he grabbed it and attempted to squirt it in my mouth all at once! (so technically I say he started it-he says otherwise) David was laying on the couch looking super comfy until... he got some go-gurt smeared all over his face! Then it was on as I ran into the kitchen to get some more and attempt to stop him from getting some from the fridge. Of course my attempt did not work at all and I think I was on the loosing end. With the go-gurt you can get a good squirt from a distance and that is what he did as well as smearing it all in my hair to create a great rats nest look. It made for a fun night! The best part of the night was that my loving husband cleaned up the kitchen while I showered. Now that's true love- even though I may or may not have started it he cleaned it so I didn't have to! Good times!!

Is it really MAY?

I woke up this morning and had to wonder if I had gone back a few months in time! It is the middle of May is it not? What HAPPENED!!

Mother's Day!

"A mother is someone that can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take"

Mothers are amazing people and I think that quote says it all! I love my mothers with all my heart and cant express how thankful I am for both! I miss not being able to see my maja whenever I want to. It is hard to know that I cant go over and just talk, but thank goodness for phones! Hopefully they both know how much I love them! :)

For mothers day this year we went to spend the weekend with David's mom. She didn't want to do anything fancy or go out at all. So, instead me and her went into Denver to find a dress for a Gala she is attending next week and while down there we went to get pedicures. After all your toes have to look good too! We had just a day with us girls shopping till we dropped! We both were so tired driving back up the mountain once we finally were in the car longer than 10 minutes and not shopping. It reminded me of the many times we had all day shopping excursions with my mom!
The next day she didn't want to do anything, but go fishing! So, we packed up and went into the canyon to hike down to the river and fish away. The fishing wasn't very good, but at least she got a few bites unlike the rest of us!
Can you see her? Then here of course is my main squeeze chillin' by the tracks waiting for mom!
This is me at the end of the day walkin' down the railroad tracks to avoid going through the freezing cold river- even though I do look rather cute in my waders! ;)Did you notice how I am all decked out and David is in shorts! He is crazy that water was cold enough I could feel it through my waders, long johns and my thick snowboard socks! CRAZY BOY! I hope that both mothers had a wonderful day and know that they are greatly LOVED! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
