pictures worth {1000} words

my mom and nephew, austin, came to visit from nevada.

we had the best week together!

we canned strawberry jam with the new canner my grandparents got me

for my birthday {thank you, thank you, thank you, love it!}

we drank wine

colored eachother's hair

and i got hubby to put my feathers back in.

my nephew is a critter kind of kid

so everywhere we went,

we had to take some time to do a little digging.

 the neighborhood boys had an exciting game of football

hubby even got to relive some of his highschool football days

it was an epic game!

 we went to the coast for a night

to celebrate my turning the big 32!

 it was the most amazing time at the coast

i wish we could have stayed longer

the weather could not have been better!

our hotel was right on the beach

we ate dinner right across the street.

and afterwards we put the kiddos to bed with grandma

and hubby and i got a sunset beach date.

we've decided that we want to live on the ocean.

{it could happen}

 the next day we had breakfast and came home

celebrated our little buddy alden's 2nd birthday

and then had a huge bbq for my birthday, again.

{yeah, my birthday lasted about 4 days, it was awesome}

and as if that wasn't enough

in between all that fun and excitement

we shopped till we dropped {literally}

took the kids to see cars 2

dined out multiple times

basked in the sun

mom read an entire book

we got pedicures

and did i mention we ate...cause we did...alot.

it was the best birthday week a girl could ask for.

thanks momma and austin for coming to visit!

until next year...
