My B-day

Friday was my 31st birthday and it turned out to be the most gorgeous day outside, what a gift all in itself. My friend Jenna (Emily, my sis in law's sister) made lunch for the kids and we all had a picnic lunch at the beach at Gene Coulon. It was so much fun to watch Emilio and Gabi play in the sandy water and dig to thier hearts content on the beach. I had a nice time visiting with Jenna and was really thankful for the nice b-day lunch she had made us. Side note:I feel quilty she went to all that work now though, it turns out her bag of waters had ruptured that morning, but she wasn't sure about it. She went into labor that evening and had her baby early the next morning. There is something about hanging out with me and then having a baby, same thing happened to Emily. She spent the day with me and her water broke the same night, wierd. Anyway, we all had fun at the beach and now Jenna has a beautiful baby girl named Kaitlyn! Please keep her in your prayers as she was tested postive for the Group B strep and was infected and is in the NICU with a good progonosis, but a week stay in the hospital.
Skipping on the beach!

For dinner on my birthday evening we met Michael, Emily and the kids at Red Robin (easiest, quickest place for food with four little ones). We had a great time hanging out altogether and the kids thought it was fun when the restaurant staff made a big deal about Mommy's birthday. They also liking digging into the ice cream sundae!



After dinner we visited at our place until Mom and Dad got in from Portland. What a nice birthday I had. Thank you to everyone who sent me warm wishes!
