Way Back When, I Had a Birthday...

Including the weather forecast is so "Brody" and just cracked me up! 

outside LaMadeleine

I got my hair done, met my sister for some shopping and later ended up going to eat dinner that night with some new friends I've made at Clark's MDO. Their kids are in Clark's class and we've really hit it off. The picture is TERRIBLE-the poor waiter at least tried.

I had so much fun out with these girls that by the time I got home Brody was fast asleep...so no ice cream or champagne for me. ha~


Somehow I managed to stretch my birthday out the whole week! :) Jaime and Jenn took me out to La Fonda. It was kind of a comedy of errors...Ben came home under the weather, the food menu had changed, the waiter was bad, and then Jenn started feeling puny and went home early. SO...we will definitely need a re-do! 

another blah pic...it was with my phone

That weekend, Brody and I had a date. Jordan and Maegan were out of town when we had my family "party". I am using that word lightly because basically it was after church. We all got our own takeout, came over to our house, and let the kids eat some cake and run around in the backyard. Still fun, but very laid back.
Anyway...the four of us went to the JW Marriott. It was pretty busy because of Spring Break but we had a great time and enjoyed some yummy food!

I felt sufficiently spoiled on my day  week, and have been working to burn off all the calories I consumed with so many fun dinners out!
