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.

I Love Flowers...

...but I really love flowers when they are a surprise.

Dolphin loves to go to the grocery store with Dad to get things I have forgotten to pick up from the store earlier in the day for dinner.

Along with the needed groceries, Dolphin likes to sneak in flowers for me.

He'll walk into the house and tell me to close my eyes, then pulls them out from behind his back.

{he makes me smile!}

The Beach

My Honey and I went to Venice Beach for the weekend...

the kids stayed home.

Sorry kids!

Maybe next time.
