26th

 Well I turned 26. It's funny because two days prior I had to go to urgent care and fill out forms and when it asked "Age" I was so excited to put 25 for one last time. I loved being 25. It was so much fun. It was a great year... but I know this year will be equally as fun.

We started off the day with presents, flowers, diet coke, and chocolate. I mean really... what more could a girl ask for?

 We have been wanting to go to the Monte L. Bean Museum since we moved here, but haven't found a day. So we decided today would be the day :) Lucas LOVED it. I mean, seriously... LOVED it. He ran from exhibit to exhibit racing around naming all the animals, making their sound. It was hilarious. And everyday since the first thing he asks when he wakes up is to go see the animals.

This little love was an angel and so happy :)

Such a big boy, watching a movie

 And wouldn't you know he found the only train in the whole museum. It was seriously 5 inches long. He stood at that window for a good 20 minutes. When I took his hand to keep walking, he said no mama, and walked back. Then when I walked away to see if he would follow, he came, took my hand, and said "Train?" and walked me back to the window. We are taking him to the train museum next month in Ogden, he is going to flip!

We came home, put the kids down for a nap and my sweet niece Emily came over to watch the kiddos so we could get away. It was so so nice to go out with just Andy! We went to La Jolla Groves and it was delicious!! I got the salmon (surprise, surprise) with cilantro butter with bruschetta (again..surprise) and Andy got the Beef Tenderloins.

And seriously... the diet coke was amazing. Good crunchy ice, and the server even put a lime in it. 

 Afterwards we went shopping... and instead of buying something for me, I bought clothes for the kiddos. They were having a sale at Gymboree and it makes me happier to buy them things, then myself. We picked up a carmel apple for dessert on the way home and called it an afternoon.

When we moved up here I told Andy I wanted to go to Strawberry Days for my birthday since it fell on my birthday weekend. So after a fun filled pool day at my Aunts we came home, showered and headed off to the rodeo! I was so bummed because as soon as I pulled out my camera to catch Lucas excitement at all the animals it said, "Battery Depleted!" I was so mad!! And I had left my phone in the car because I had my good camera. Darn! Needless to say it was so much fun. It was my first rodeo (that I remember) and it will definitely not be my last.

When we got back to the car I pulled out my phone and took a quick picture before coming home just to remember the night :)
