The weekend I turned 30

Jon was way too excited when the rest of my gifts arrived. So you get photos of me Au natural.

Meanwhile, MORE gifts?! Hello. Did he forget that he got me a Cameo? Not that I am complaining. Just pointing out how very spoiled I am feeling. In a good way. I really don't mind at all when the hubby spoils me.

Then he took me out to dinner which basically means I didn't cook for four days. Thursday, B-day dinner. Friday FSA girls night out. Saturday conference/party day. Freezer meal for Sunday. BEST.WEEKEND.EVER!

Shannon had this great idea to make conference baskets for all the kiddos. We love how they turned out. AND the kids LOVED them.

The girls got primmed and pampered (in the same room that had the t.v. for conference listening.) for family photos, and the boys "watched" conference. To be fair this was one 10 min sleepy spell. Also i must say EXCELLENT talks!

We got some cute photos of all the kids and families. Well really just a couple good ones of Regan. It was windy, and he was I thought suffering with allergies. He spiked a fever later that night.

Little man was snotty and miserable. The rest of us look great in this photo though.

This however is by far my absolute favorite photo of the day. Cutest photo bomber ever. And Kaylee and Regan's reactions crack me up!

My sweet niece Sarah is exactly 21 years younger than me. I love sharing a birthday with her. Every year I know that I will at the very least remember her birthday (17 nieces and nephews). She requested a pug pinata. Her favorite color is pink, so I made her a pink pug pinata.

And the money shot.

Birthday + Conference = perfect weekend.

Nathan’s party

We had so much fun at Nathan's party. I loved his requested pinata, and how it turned out.

I thought he was done so I tossed his last two bites, and that was an epic mistake. His sweet Aunt Shannon sent him home with a nice large slice. He had a yummy snack the next day. This boy of mine loves chocolate, and dairy free chocolate is a special treat far and few between. Shannon made the cake dairy and egg yolk free so both Kaylee and Regan got to enjoy it.IMG_3082 IMG_3085
