It doesn't end there....

Birthday weekend just kept on happening. Yeah! My friends Alisa and Angela offered to take my kids for the day so Nathan and I could go doing something fun. So we went hiking at Red Rock. The first time we ever have been without the kids so we were really able to do some fun stuff and climb really high.

After our high adventure hike where I proved to Nathan that we would be great at the Amazing Race:) we took off to the mall. Ha! Ha!

This was Nathans Birthday gift to me. He knows that any Willow Tree will be a no fail gift. So I get one for every occasion and LOVE it! The picture was taken at my parents retirement party so I don't know how it got that picture so soon. He was conspiring (is that a word because Nathan always makes fun of me for making up words?) with Gail. Sneaky!

This really was the funniest Birthday in a long time! Thanks and much love too everyone who called, send a card, an e-card, a text to wish me a Happy Birthday.

31 is great!

I feel the best ever and the next 30 years are going to be AWESOME!

Birthday Dinner

Whenever it's anyone's birthday, we go out to a special birthday dinner. This year I chose The Claim Jumper at Town Square. Taylor informed us that a Claim Jumper was someone who stole peoples land back when people were moving west to buy land.

Ash and Ja being best sisters which is all I could ask for. It's getting easier to go out to dinner. The kids are sitting better and eating all their food. Finally!

We always have to have an appetizer of Calamari. This is a silly face, he really does like it. And you can't leave with out letting the kids play at the too cool and fun playground.

Never too old to act like a kid.

And finally, Yogurtland:)

Turning 31

A couple of months ago I flipped my calendar to schedule a day and noticed that I was turning 31 on my birthday. Immediately I lost my breath and I have been trying to cope with this reality. Silly right. I've been thinking that I really need to be mature now and maybe start shopping at Talbots and stop strolling through the Junior section at department stores. Nathan and I have known each other longer than we have been alive:) This birthday weekend was so much fun.

It all started at dinner. Our friends are too cool. She remembers everything. She remembered that I was really sad when Andrew broke my favorite mixing bowl and how I've never witnessed an apple be peeled and cored and sliced all at the same time. Well, being out to dinner did not stop this event from occurring. Even the waiters were impressed. Now dutch oven apple cobbler will be a snap.

The girls decided to be submissive:) and check out the Bass Pro Shop instead of going to Yogurtland. Boy, was I sure glad we did. This place is amazing and if you have never been, go for a free date or free family outing. Me and Monica ran around like crazy girls taking pictures everywhere. We were so amazed.

Monica driving the boat that we're getting to go fishing, skiing, swimming, etc. in the lake. Ha!Ha!

Nathan dreaming about retirement.

Mark Chilaxin"!

If we're getting a cabin, I'm getting this cute pink 4 wheeler. Ha!Ha! again. I can't wait to hear Steve's comments on all this. :)

The dear head that will hang over the front door of our cabin.

So, here's where it gets so fun! These are hanging all over the place.

A waterfall in the middle of this huge store that runs into a huge fish tank?!

Stuffed animal displays everywhere you turn. Are you hooked yet? Can't wait to turn of the computer and run down there?

Although I am deathly afraid of guns, loaded or not, I couldn't pass up this opportunity with PINK riffles. Man, this store appeals to everyone.

Okay, rock climb! Don't forget to wear your athletic shoes.

If I could have any boat, I would have this one. Complete with kitchen, bathroom, upper deck and slide. Oh! Ah!
We peeled ourselves away to go to the real purpose of the night. The Journey Concert.

So, the new lead singer of the band is a Filipino. I have come to find out that there is Filipino Coach in the NBA and now the lead singer of an infamous band.
