Big 30

Phil turned 30 last week! We started the weekend of celebrations with a surprise party with some of our closet friends. Phil thought we were going out just the two of us but our friends were waiting to surprise him at the restaurant. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for watching the boys! We had lots of fun chatting with our friends and enjoying yummy food. I love when I can surprise him because normally I cannot keep much from him because I'm too excited and ruin it. Thank you friends for making it a great night!

Saturday we went out to lunch and had a fun family day. Then on Sunday we went over to Phil's parents and celebrated with them and his brother Todd. Wes loved the present opening but was a little disappointed when he realized they weren't for him. Phil's mom got him a cookie cake (a family favorite tradition). side note- Wes loved that too much and when we got home he tried to sneak some and the whole cookie cake fell face down on the kitchen floor (naughty naughty). And lastly on Monday, his actual birthday, the boys and I met him downtown for some lunch at Hard Rock Cafe and topped off the night with his favorite Blue Bell Cookies and Cream ice cream.

The boys and I are so blessed to have Phil in our lives. He is a great Husband and Father! Thanks for all you do at home and at work for our family.

Seriously some of the yummiest cupcakes I've ever made. Sour cream chocolate cake with butter-cream dream frosting w/ crushed Oreos mixed in, dangerous.

Party favors, rock candy and pop rocks.

this picture cracks me up because we asked a waitress to take our picture. I guess she had never seen a SLR before because she held it out like 3 feet from her face and just snapped a few.
