Happy Birthday to me... again...

Yes. It was my birthday. I turned 28. Or is it 29? I know it's not 30! Anyway... this birthday was actually really great this year!! My bestest friend Brooke took me on a magical whirlwind adventure day to LA to go fabric shopping and cupcake eating all complete with a visit to Santa Monica Pier -- my first time!!















I had the BEST day!! It was nice to just go and hang out and do whatever we wanted and buy REALLY cute fabric and just be FREE!! Well, as free as LA traffic will let you.

Then on my actual birthday we celebrated by going to Phil's BBQ and pigging out. Mm, ribs. The kids liked it, too. Oh wait, Max just ate corn on the cob. SO Lia liked it.








Hungry yet? No? How about this?



And then Tyler surprised me by buying me my very own motorcycle helmet so he could take me out to breakfast and cruise around on his scooter. I have to say, I was a bit nervous about the whole thing, but it's actually really really fun!! I actually really like going places with him on it. (My dad is probably laughing).



THEN I got my free meal from Benihanas and enjoyed it with some great friends!


I have the best family, the best friends and some sweet memories.
