windy

it was windy sunday night.

i hate...

SPIDERS!

but even i admired this beautiful web in my garden this morning.

{pssst...it's my birthday}

It's true. I'm another year older. I hit the big 3-2 this year. Whoa! Where does time go? Does it have to go by so quickly????

Things I did for my birthday this year:

dinner with my hubby

baked birthday cake

frosted cake

hiked to stewart falls

had fun with family

watched kids run through sprinklers half naked

ate super yummy lopsided birthday cake

did lots and lots of fireworks

opened lots of {super great!} birthday gifts.

I admit.

I was spoiled this year for my birthday.

sunday evening

after our church meetings today we took the kids up to snowbird for a picnic.

it was wonderful to spend some time in the mountains.

yum, yum

It was hot this afternoon and we needed something to cool us off. Green smoothie popsicles to the rescue!

Dolphin loved his chocolate peanut butter g.s. popsicle.

Monkey downed her "strawberry" g.s. popsicle.
