Happy 26th Birthday to...

Me! I had such a great birthday yesterday. My great friends Emily, Kim and Erica had a little lunch party for me at Emily's house. It was so much fun! We had a yummy lunch, and played a few games (one of which was "Pass the Zucchini"...Emily has a little garden and was wanting to "Pass off" the zucchini to someone else"). The kids had fun playing outside and we all just had a great time. Thanks girls for the little gifts and lunch, I couldn't ask for better friends!

Emily even got me a little "Birthday Girl" Tiara that I got to wear....
Emily, Me, Kim, and Erica....we were struggling to take a picture of ourselves!

All of our little kiddos.
Brecken, Cal, Max, Stephen, and Gray.
Brecken is a little out numbered, but you will notice she won the giant zucchini!

Grayson did a good job helping me blow out my candles on the yummy bars!

Later, Ben took me out to dinner to a really great steak place. (Thanks so much Kim for watching the boys for us:) He surprised me with a certificate to take myself and one other person to "So you think you can dance" in November in Portland!!! Of course I will be taking him! I am SUPER SUPER SUPER EXCITED!!! What a wonderful husband I have! I love you Ben!!!

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes, it really was a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday! What a great husband to get you SYTYCD tickets!! That will be so much fun. I'm sad I don't have a birthday or other present-giving holiday between now and then :(. Have a great time.

Happy Birthday!!! Glad Emily threw you a fun little party. What a good birthday present from Ben too - maybe we can get together before hand in Portland to get dinner or something? PS - has Ben researched any bachelor/bachelorette rumors on the internet lately?? :P

Looks like a fun day! I love the crown. Are your bangs different than usual? They are really cute.

Dang- for a half a second I thought you were going to take me to so you think you can dance! If you change your mind I am always available. Lucky girl! Happy birthday!

Happy, happy birthday! Isn't nice to have good buddies to be the "stand-ins" for your family! Looks like you had a great day and I'm looking forward to the future post on the dance concert! Fun!

Tickets?- I am jealous! Happy Birthday- that was fun! And by the way... we didn't mean to steal the tiara- meant to bring it back when we came over... or maybe it was Brecken's plan to hide it to keep! Happy Birthday
