Birthday Week

Yes. This was my view on Monday.


All because of this guy. He arranged places for the kids to go while we went to the beach and did nothing. I did get in (all the way), but it was freezing. West coast freezing.


See that little black speck in the upper left portion of this picture? It's a dolphin, and you can tell if you find a way to zoom in. There were tons of them, playing and really close to shore too.


We also saw this birdie on our way to the car. Can you see that he has his dinner?


On my actual birthday I used my free ice cream birthday coupon for Cold Stone's (if you live within range of one you simply must sign up for this. People...it's FREE ice cream).


Accompanied by this band of well wishers.


Their not digging this early courtship. Mia's not into younger men that way.

After J's game (in which he actually caught a hit ball and then tagged someone out for a double play!) we came home to the ice cream cake Den got for me. Seriously, what a guy.

E made me a card that morning. She chose the words and had her daddy write them except for her name. It reads, "Happy Birthday Mommy! You're beautiful"

Complete with a pic of us together, she even drew herself with curly hair.

He gave lots of bday hugs.

D was trying to trick her into looking at the camera by asking her if there was a blue light blinking. Notice her intently searching for it.
