June Birthdays

I love that I share a birthday month with my favorite guy! I always look forward to June 1st because I jump at the chance to celebrate him. What was cute to see this year is that the kids feel the same way!  Here I am telling Liam, "daddy wants pancakes for his birthday breakfast" and the next thing I know, he is requesting we get paper plates with Hulk on them (what Liam deemed Nic's superhero character) and birthday candles to go on top! I like the way you think Liam Rex. ;) So we sang 'Happy Birthday' to him over breakfast instead of birthday cake.

During the day we stopped by a new ginormous Albertson's they had built close by. It was created as more of a marketplace with lots of different prepared foods and even has a restaurant inside! I think the kids sampled one of everything in the whole store ... watermelon, cookies, popcorn, etc. In the seafood section they had a lobster tank and they pulled out a lobster for us so we could touch it and see it up close! Neither one of our children was brave enough to touch it but they both had smiles on their faces!

During nap time I gave Nic some quiet time while Liam and I went out in the backyard and made targets for his new squirt guns!

After nap time we squeezed in our first time at the waterpark for the season!! Liam was bravely trying every single water slide in the kid section he could find while Lyla didn't want to be set down or touch the water at all. haha She preferred the lounge chair with the water bottle to play with!

 We left the kids behind that night for date and kept the childhood tradition alive with dinner at Red Lobster and ice cream for dessert! I kind of felt like it was my birthday all day long because I loved it so much. I think all holidays are like that for me! ;)

Hope you had the best birthday, babe! 32 never looked so good!! 

A few weeks later it was my turn ... the start of the last year of my 20's!
My favorite gift of all, Nic took the day off work!!!
We spent the morning shopping at Target and playing around the Village ...

Then we went to see a movie (Lyla's first one!!) and saw Secret Life of Pets 2! It was hysterical and adorable just like we thought it would be! Not so good on my headache but worth it! Lyla made it through 2/3 of the movie on popcorn and candy and then had to walk the aisle and hall. Pretty great for her first one and not even 2 years old yet!

Sweet girl napped while I opened my gift, a new Anthropologie comforter I had been wanting for our master bed! I love it so much! Liam wanted to post as I took a picture of it ... ;)

Later that night we went on another date, this time to PF Changs and ice cream to follow for me too!! I had so many messages, phone calls, and texts throughout the day from all the people I love and I felt so special! Here's to my last year in my 20's!
