The BEST Part of Vacation...Part One

Was these little gems...

My friend A-Whip and I found these precious little gifts from heaven at a bakery in Santa Monica called Vanilla. If you are even remotely near Santa Monica or even if you live nowhere near this place you have to make a special trip there. They are THAT good. We may or may not have gone back the very next day to buy 6 more...Please don't judge us...

The birthday celebration that just never ended!!

First dinner with the girls!

My own balloon..yeah!

Free dessert...and I'm in charge of ALL the spoons...

Okay, fine, I'll share...

I got tickets to The Fray concert the next night as a gift..

And to top it off I got a cute cookie bouquet!

Oops.

The night of my actual birthday we had a fun night of boating at Jordanelle, and when we got back, Sarah got me a cute cupcake and lit it and sang Happy Birthday...

And all is well...

And then I dropped it on the floor, flames and all...

Quick recovery...5 second rule counts...

Thanks for a FUN birthday!

Happy Birthday to ME.

Shall we wax nostalgic for a minute? Can you pick me outta this stellar crowd?

I know, I know. Carol Seavers called, she wants her glasses back.

Family Visit...Yeah!

My sister and crew came for a visit..I bet my nieces are cuter than yours are! :)

Happy Fourth of July!

Went to Sugarhouse park with my friend's little niece and nephews to watch the fireworks. Those little munchkins are so cute.

Wow...they were just awesome! :)

Me and the girlies.

No fireworks show is complete without US Weekly. Glad the fireworks were bright enough so I could keep up with the latest and greatest.. If not I would have sported a head lamp.

No more M.J.. So tragic.

Could My Nephew BE Any Cuter?!

Just spent a week with this little guy. He's just too cute.

Here he is ready to go golfing.

The little tyke and his favorite aunt.

He's got the shirt to prove it. (He's practically jumping for joy he loves wearing it so much.)

Swinging with Aunt Cindy. Awwwww...

Bathtime fun.

Loving his toys.
