Surprise!!!

My ever-so-thoughtful, dear sweet husband blew my socks off last weekend when he pulled off the best surprise 30th birthday party ever!  I don't think people believed me when I said I had NO CLUE about any of it, but I really didn't and that made it even more amazing.  I was so overwhelmed by the whole thing that I never even got my wits about me to take one single picture....so I have nothing to show for it! :)  But don't worry, the whole night is forever engrained in my memory and I have to say I am the most blessed girl on the planet.  So many special people in our lives went to such great lengths to keep it a secret, and to be there and it meant more to me than I can say.  So thank you, thank you....and thank you to my out-of-town dearies who sent sweet messages!!  I love you all so much.  Best present ever!!!!

And since I didn't have any pics from the party, I thought I'd share some other fun ones from recent days....

The cousin's very first walk together!  That is baby Brooks, my nephew!

Elli was real excited about it! hehe!

We have had two fun play dates recently.  The first with Brooks and precious Ruby and Dax and then we played with sweet Avery, born a month after Ellison!

Family play day in the beautiful snow!  Once the sun came out it was fabulous...felt like we should be spring skiing!  And **IMPORTANT** all soon-to-be mothers, people shopping for mothers, whoever! the BOB stroller is the BEST and a must-have for mom's who like the outdoors and are active!  I am telling you we walked over ice and mounds of snow and the BOB off roaded like nobody's business.  Worth every penny!

Oh nothing just wanting to show you the monster in my bed.  We have a queen sized bed people and look at him!  He hadn't tried to sleep with us in over a year, but then came winter and look who snuck back up there.  Not the ideal sleeping arrangement.

All dressed up for mommy's birthday lunch.  Miss blonde hair and blue eyes...she looks nothing like me, but I carried this child for 9 months, I promise!!!  :)
