Celebrating 30
For my 30th birthday, my sweet friends threw me a really fun party. It was a nice way of easing into the next decade. It was a fun night and I felt very loved.

4th of July (In October)
I love the 4th of July. It is one of my favorite holidays. This year we drove down to the coast with Mandy & Colby and Chris & Megan and all our cute kids. It was one awesome weekend full of beach going, treat eating, little sleeping, and lots of memory making.
There are lots and lots of pictures to document our weekend. It must have been something about the fresh beach air, no laundry, being with our great friends and having a husband around because I felt the best that weekend that I had in a long time. Hooray for vacations!
Our sweet girls.
We brought just a little bit of food. Bwah. I ate my weight in treats.
The first night we went swimming at the clubhouse.
The next two days were spend relaxing at the beach. Heavenly.
I love this picture. The Dads together, then the girls and then the little boys, and then all three moms taking the picture.
The weather was perfect. There had been a hurricane the week before so we were a little nervous, but it ended up being perfect. It wasn't too crowded, it wasn't too hot, and it only rained for about 10 minutes while we were in the ocean which was really neat.
The water was so warm! And it was shallow for a really long time so everyone had such a great time jumping the waves and pretending to be mermaids. I was impressed with how all the girls just turned into little fish and would dive right into the waves.
The moms and their girls.
The dads and their girls.
Eating more food on the beach.
After a long day at the beach we would come home and let the kids watch a movie while we cooked dinner. Frozen lasagna. My kind of dinner while on vacation.
I love these kids.
We roasted smores one night. I am such a sucker for smores. 4th of July and smores together...a piece of heaven for me.
At night after we put the kids to bed the adults would stay up until at least 2 am playing games (mostly the Great Dalmuti), eating, doing all sorts of weird things that I can't remember now, but we laughed until we cried.
One night the moms were having major girl talk on the balcony and without us knowing our husbands had gone outside right under the balcony. Some really loud fireworks went off right next door and our husbands threw cold spaghetti noodles up onto the balcony all over us. We thought it was something coming from the fireworks and freaked out. It was hilarious. Just a little something I don't want to forget. And then they started spraying water on us from under the balcony and we couldn't go inside because they had locked us out. Do boys ever grow up? :)
4th of July. Of course all the kids had to match.
We found this awesome inlet to watch the fireworks. We could see lots of different shows going on all around us.
Watching all the firework shows around us. Thanks y'all for a perfect trip!
Driving down to the coast was pretty crazy. It was still raining from the hurricane and we had to drive through this to get there. It was worth is though!
No trip is complete without two stops to our favorite bbq place, Rudy's. It was a perfect way to begin and end our trip!

The 3.0.
Age is just a number.
On June 27th I turned the big 3.0. My birthday was on a Sunday (which I thought would be sad, but it wasn't... everyone at church seemed to know which was fun) so the night before we went to a movie (Grown Ups) and then to dinner with some of our great friends (we missed you M & C).
On my birthday morning, I woke up to this. Best gifts ever.
Celebrating after church. We went out to dinner. Don't judge. I felt so sick and nothing sounded good so anything Dave offered to make would sound good one second and then horrible the next. I ended up eating fried pickles and fish tacos. Yum.
And then this yummy cake my sweet kids made.
When people ask how old I am, Audrey responds my saying, "The thee zero". I guess I should feel a lot older now that I'm the three zero but I really don't. In fact I feel sorta numb to age. Maybe it's being pregnant, maybe it was because I was feeling so sick I didn't have the emotional room to "feel" anything about turning 30. I think someone could have cut off my arm and I might not have noticed. Life was one big ball of sick. I expected to feel older, more mature, but really I don't. Maybe I will wake up one morning and feel differently, but I still feel about 22.
We had a fun week planned for my birthday. Dave gets a week off in the summer and it luckily was the week after my birthday. We had lots of fun things planned...going to a water park, staying the night in a hotel, going swimming everyday... What really happened was I laid on the couch everyday and took naps and my sweet husband cleaned out cupboards. I was not feeling well enough to do anything fun. Bummer. But at least my kids were entertained by their dad. They had a great week with him, and I slept more in that week than I had in a long, long time. You can't beat that.
So my 30th birthday was planned to be great, but this little baby kinda ruined it (in the most loving way). But Dave's 35th birthday was totally LAME, so my #35 and his #40, will be awesome. I better not be pregnant.

Berry Picking
Hot summer day + cute kids + great friends + good berries = hot, sweaty, berry happy people
Back in June we went berry picking with Chris & Megan and their little ones. It was a good, hot time.
The berries, and the bugs, and definitely bigger in Texas.

Jammin
Every summer my mom would have a "jammin party". We would all help make strawberry jam to last us through the year. It got to the point where even after I left for college some of my friends (guy friends, and an old boyfriend...I had really cute younger sisters) would come help make jam. This summer Audrey and I had our own little jammin party. It made me feel old. No offense Mom.
