31 already?

Last year when I was turning 30 I was so excited. I told Jake this was a milestone birthday and he better throw me a surprise party. He in fact did throw me a party and it was a fun day! I can't believe a year has already passed and I am now 31. A few days before my birthday I kept looking at the mirror and thinking to myself. "wow, I am starting to look old." Maybe it has something to do with the sleepless nights and bags under my eyes. I also went to a PiYo class the day before my birthday and one of my hips popped out of place as well as one of my ribs. THey always do this and always pop back in, but it still is super painful. I couldn't help but think. Oh boy I guess this is the year of falling apart. :)

My birthday was great though! Jake made me breakfast and then I went to get a massage. After my massage my in-laws came over with a birthday gift and visit and then I got to go shopping for  bunch of new clothes. My newest favorite place is called Bohme in the mall. I really love everything in that store and wish that it was my closet. Then Jake and I went out to dinner at Market Street Grill and we went to see Unitards. A silly movie. It reminded me of Napolean Dynamite/ High School Musical. It was super cheesy, to the point it made me feel uncomfortable throughout most of the movie. Jake also surprised me with buying me the perfume called Love by Ralph Lauren. I have been wanting this perfume for almost 2 years. I found it when we were at the Ralph Lauren store in Vegas and thought for sure I could find it at home. But unfortunately they only sale it at a couple of stores or through their online store. I was so happy to get it and still am just as much in love with it as I was the day I first tried it.

Tonight my family took me to Cheesecake Factory for my birthday as well. That's the great things about birthdays. You get to celebrate for a week! We were told it was going to be about an hour wait and when we had been waiting for awhile we went to see how much longer it was going to be. We then found out that our name wasn't on the list at all and we had to talk to the manager about it. Luckily we had a pager so they knew we weren't making anything up. After waiting for 2 hours the manager finally got us back and let us pick 3 appetizers on the house since we had waited for so long. I love getting freebies ;) It was so much fun and of course the food was absolutely delicious!

So I guess I will enjoy my year of being 31 and hopefully my baggy eyes will start to look better and my smile lines won't bug me so much :)

I also thought I would add the pictures from Kambree's 3rd birthday. We had a Minnie Mouse birthday party for her. She had such a fun weekend and would tell everyone that her birthday was coming. When Sue (my sis inlaw) finally said "Kambree it is your birthday!" And then she just started screaming and jumping up and down with excitement. I have to say that I had a blast planning this birthday party and getting everything ready :) I love that our birthdays are 5 days apart because it gives me an excuse to go all out and celebrate my birthday a little bit too :)

 Fun decorating ideas that I found off of Pinterest.

 Kambree's Minnie Mouse outfit to wear.

 Noni and Yia Yia came to help out with her birthday party she had with her friends.

 Dancing!

 Decorating birthday cupcakes.

 Birthday cake for the birthday girl! I had a lady in the neighborhood north of us make it. She did such an AMAZING job!

 Kambree got a Minnie Mouse scooter from Jake and me. She loves it says, "mom this is so fun!" Every time she rides it.

 She got a giant caterpillar for her birthday from brother Lance and Sheesha. Kambree loves this guy and loves cuddling with him.

 3 years old! She finally will say she is 3 rather than 19. :) Although I think her fiesty personality is more like a teenager. ;)
