We drove to Idaho Falls in the morning and Nic spoiled me with an hour in Target all by myself! I definitely used to take for granted those care free moments alone before I was a mom. I wouldn't trade this current stage of life I'm in for anything in the world though but I definitely appreciated the gift on Saturday!
For lunch we gave Chick-fil-a another chance. Everyone I know RAVES about that place but our first experience with it was a fatty piece of chicken on a hamburger bun so we've never really been tempted to go back again. When we were out to ice cream with our friends on Friday night and they heard we'd be spending the morning of my birthday in Idaho Falls they said we had to try it again and this time, recommended what to get it. It still didn't totally blow my mind but their chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and frosted lemonade were definitely a better experience!
While we were in IF we also picked up paint for the baby's nursery. I've never been crazy about our tan walls in our home (just not my style) so Nic spent Liam's nap time covering them up in the nursery! Neither one of us had done a painting project in a while and we ended up being a couple of gallons shy so I actually had to head back to IF today to get more to finish the project but it is looking amazing so far thanks to that sweet, hard working man of mine!
Being born on the West coast and having fresh seafood really spoils a girl but last year on my birthday we ate at Red Robin and I had the most amazing crab cake sandwich for Pocatello standards. I haven't had it again since but really wanted that for my birthday dinner. It turned out that it was a promotional item and they no longer carry it so we settled for Wingers instead.
After dinner we all went mini golfing! It was pretty much like playing a game of cat and mouse with Liam the whole time (haha!) but we still had fun! Let's just say he did NOT understand the concept that you aren't supposed to pick up the ball with your hands and chuck it in the hole. He WAS a good luck charm though because every time Nic or I helped him hit it we got a hole in one!
After mini golfing we picked up some cheesecake fantasy from Coldstone. Nic even put candles in it and sang to me, a very special birthday!!
Nic asked me earlier in the evening what I was going to wish for when I blew out my candles and my answer was simple ... nothing ... because I already have everything I've ever wanted/need!! A husband who loves me with his whole heart, an adorable little boy who is my best friend, and a growing baby girl! I don't need any convincing that 27 is going to be my best year yet!!! So instead, I will do everything in my power to make this sweet boy's wishes come true and let him blow out my candles instead. ;)
Thanks to my two boys, my friends, and my family who showered me with love on Saturday and made my birthday so special! XO
