The big 29.

I am really starting to finally feel my age. It's taken about 10 years but I knew it would happen sometime! I turned 29 on the 28th of Sept. so this is a little late but I wanted to post about it so I would have it for my blog book. And seriously how many times do you actually get to see pictures of ME?! I had a great birthday celebrating for the whole weekend! The Saturday before I was so lucky to spend an afternoon with some of my closest girlfriends including my sister Kristin getting pedicures and then on to enjoy some yummy dinner at Macaroni grill and then on to the RS broadcast. We had a blast! Thanks so much to my awesome hubby who watched the kids and Kristin's kids so we could have girl time! Then on Sunday Kristin made us my birthday dinner of her amazing homemade Lasagna and a yummy birthday cake so we could celebrate with the family and kiddos. Thanks so much Kristin!! You are seriously the best and I am so thankful to have you here so close!! Check out that bonfire of birthday candles!
Nice job Mom! Way to keep your baby away from fire! (Kali was working on her gangsta signs...nice)

On Monday, my actual birthday, we met up with Mark's family at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate my birthday and my bro-in-law Jeff's birthday whose is a week after mine. Sheila gave me this new cute hat that Madelyn wanted for herself. It was cute how she kept trying to get it from me and then put it on herself. Here are some pics from our fun family birthday dinner that night!





Thank you so much to all my friends and family who made my birthday one to remember! I love you all!!

AND.....here are a few fun pics of my cute kids that I took with my new camera that I got for my birthday. YAY! Finally I have some decent pics that are actually in focus and not blurry!
Silly Zach. Can you tell what color his eyes are?

My brown eyed girl.
Happy girl.

Not so happy girl. Apparently she didn't want Kali on there with her.

Had to capture those blue eyes!

AND...my FAVORITE picture of this girl! LOVE IT!

Kari Kari Kari!! I promise it wasn't this post that made me remember your birthday! I remembered about 2 days after it actually happened. Such a jerk. So sorry!! It looks like you had a great birthday anyway, but I am sad I didn't contribute at least with a phone call. Know I love and miss you SO MUCH!!
