Trip to Albion

I had such a great birthday this year. We even got to celebrate with friends and my Uncle Russ' family in Albion Idaho!
My friend Melissa was so awesome to invite us for this fun weekend getaway! It is the PERFECT place for a big group to party. We stayed in an old dorm house that had been remodeled. It was so cute! Here we are getting ready to hit the birthday pinata.

Of course we had a dance off! Rumor has it that Uncle Russ and I won with our river dancing routine.

Horse races! I was such a proud wife- Dan won the entire tournament with the horse, Hoof R. Ted.

Albion is about 30 minute away from the City of Rocks.

We spend a whole lot of time chowing down on yummy food.

The rowdy crowd! Thanks for such a good time.

Dan spoiled me on my birthday. I'm one lucky girl.

Mom's in town!!!

We were so lucky to have my mom and visit! Bryn loved seeing her, but I'm pretty sure I was the one that was in heaven. I'm sure it wasn't the most relaxing weekend for her- I put her to work helping me cook for my Bunco party and she gave me a much needed break from all of my mom duties. Love you Mom!
We tried to have a little fun as well :) We had a fire with smores.

We also went downtown for lunch, paddle boat rides, and fun at the park.

I had to throw in this awesome picture of Bryn wearing her Dadda's shoes. Too cute!

Bunco Night!

I just love Bunco night! It is such a good break for all of us to get together without kids and party!

My mom was one of our subs and helped me prepare for the night. We ate chicken lettuce wraps, homemade eggrolls, and fruit tarts. Served with flavored lemonade.

I truly have some of the best friends in the world. They are all crazy and fun- just like I like it!

I didn't think it would be fair to put all these awesome pictures of the girls without adding the lovely one of myself.

Now is this not the best Bunco group you've ever seen?!

Couples Shower/Date Night

We had such a fun couples date night! We wanted to celebrate the Weight's having their 3rd baby and thought this would be the best way to do it! We rented out my Aunt's Kitchen design shop and hired a chef to come and teach us a cooking class. We ate our yummy meal and then opened presents and played shower games. It was so fun to actually do something different for a date night. Thanks to all who helped make the night so awesome.
It was so funny to play games with the guys. None of them had ever played shower games so we totally enjoyed torturing the boys. Although Cody actually seemed to be enjoying the candy bar diaper game...

Sippy cup drinking contest... Keep your eye on Matt, the guy on the far right.

Maybe he shouldn't have squeezed that sippy so tight...

Cody and Kelli ~ The couple of honor

We made an awesome pasta dish with bread sticks and a salad.

Love my Boise girls!

Dirty Looks...

This cute little thing knows how to give some awesome dirty looks! Check it out...

So funny right? Those were all on demand. Ahhh, love this girl! Please excuse how ragamuffinish she looks. It was obviously a long day for us all. I just hope she didn't learn those looks from me. I better start smiling a lot more around here :)

She's at it again!

How does this cute girl always find my secret treat stash?
