not this cute anymore!It started at 6 am with a hike to the top of a mini-mountain. My friends and I did yoga on the top as the sun came up. It was gorgeous weather and the best Sun Salutation I've ever given. Then I came back to my favorite place. HOME. I had breakfast with my handsome man before he left for work. I opened presents with my kids. I continued the tradition of buying something for them on my birthday (they were thrilled with their Ben-Ten-make-your-own-alien kit.) Homeschooling was only a 15-minute spelling test. After which, we hit the pool. I expected to get a little R&R, but I didn't realize it was going to be a pool party! Jane brought Cafe Rio for lunch. Liza brought homemade zucchini bread. Natalie brought delicious cupcakes for everyone. Sabrina brought her smokin' hot bod! We all brought our kids. We stayed at the pool for over 3 hours. I only took one picture.
After swimming, the boys and I went to Sonic. It's not a quality birthday without Sonic's pebble ice (yes, I buy it by the bag.) The kids got ice cream cones with m&m sprinkles. Ben wanted to know if I FELT 30 years old. I told him I wasn't sure yet. Then he explained, "On my eighth birthday, I did NOT feel like I was 8 years old. And then I woke up the next morning, and I DID feel eight." It might take a day or two for me too.
When we got home, I took a nice long bubble bath and a short nap. Then I picked up the babysitter. Aaron came home from work and we enjoyed a quiet evening eating at The Melting Pot. My perfect man had everything set up-- reservations and a birthday card at the table. It was my first time and it was four-courses of deliciousness. The dead batteries in my camera cooperated and gave me two quick pictures.
After dinner we went to a late showing of The Time Traveler's Wife. We didn't get home until midnight (celebrate EVERY MINUTE of your birthday is my philosophy :) This was only possible because the kids slept over at Sabrina's. I cannot believe I allowed my 3 year old to have his first sleepover. I am actually against sleepovers, except for family... but the Vincents are our family here in Vegas. The boys had a blast. When I woke up (I totally felt like I was 30) and I couldn't wait to go and pick the kids up. That, in a nutshell, was my birthday.

That was so generous of me to bring my smokin' hot bod to the pool! You guys ARE our family in Vegas. When your boys are over I love how comfortable they are here and how everyone gets along. I never feel like I need to entertain or make sure everyone's having a good time. (They all take care of that on their own.)
Happy birthday Janet! Sounds like you had a perfect day! And welcome to the 30's club - it's really not that bad - actually, I'm liking my 30's more than my 20's!! :)
Sounds like a wonderful day! Glad you enjoyed every minute of it - you deserve it. Love, Sam
It sounds like you had the most fabulous birthday ever! How I only wish that my 30th had been half as spectacular as yours! Good for you for making the most of your day.
glad you had a night alone! love that aaron had a card on the table for you. so much better than a big surprise with us! :) and i'm glad your camera worked. those pictures are hot!
those are some hot pictures of us on the mountaintop. And check your email for the candle pics. I'm sorry I'm so retarded (seriously, I mean so slow...I'm not using that term inappropriately) when it comes to sending people pics. I just realized it's really not that hard.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You know how to celebrate....
