Happy B-day To ME!








Friday was my 27th, and I'm totally stealing pictures from She-Da-Wagna's blog. I had a great day.
Mis padres sent me flores muy guapa for my birthday. I have to snap a picture today so I can post them. Then I went to grab a few hurricane supplies with my little Sohlios before naptime. My Sohl-mate got home early, and we went swimming as a fam. We had a great time, though my Sohl son's in need of some extended pool time. He's still a little leery of the backfloat, and my patience tends to wane earlier than it probably should.
Then I ran home and got ready to attend a great girls' night, hosted by She-Da-Wagna. SunJane, Her OckersOcean, and Lady Keller all joined us. We looked at ridiculous pictures of our past selves, and talked about things from the past, present, and future. Lady Keller got me a sweet necklace and bracelet; SunJane, napkins which reflect something I told her daughter when she had dinner with us one night; and She-Da-Wagner and Her OckersOcean went together on a gift card to local spa for a manicure-pedicure. SWEET! Gracias, mis chicas bonitas!
My two sweet friends from college, Juliet and Tressa, send me a sweet card and a gift card to GAP, which I'll use to get a new skirt.
Then Saturday the kids and I went to the base park and watched and listened as the jets flew overhead. We missed the beach wedding we were invited to because the gates locked down for a bit, so we scheduled an impromptu beach party with just the four of us. I inflated a raft I've had for three years now, and we took turns floating in. That evening, while She-Da-Wagna watched our little Sohlios, we stopped by the Mansfield's 10th anniversary celebration, enjoying some fresh shrimp, potatoes, and a couple of margaritas. Then my Sohl-mate and I enjoyed a nighttime stroll along the beach before picking up our kids.
Overall, a great birthday week!

Happy bday, J-Sohl. I can't believe Carter had access to a perfect pile of perfect rocks in front of windows and nothing was shattered. Are you just not posting the whole story? My dad would have had to tie me up until the stones were placed and sprayed down with epoxy.

Happy late Birthday girl! I may have already told you, but I'm telling you again. I was wondering how you stay so young looking, and then I saw you are only 27-duh, you are young! Well, compared to me that is. Enjoy you spa day! Love the pics, too!
