happy 30th birthday B!

bml is 30!

we were late with our party, having it this past saturday.

we intended on a small get together,

but including kids small quickly turns into

chaos.

i loved it.

3 kiddie pools,

 a plastic slide into a soap filled pool,

corn hole (which was a big hit with p man who "helped" everyone score),

lots of big, fun, bouncy, balls.

the menu?

burgers, dogs, black bean salsa, corn on the cob,

brussel sprouts (bml's favorite...gross),

frozen grapes, watermelon & lastly,

my mom's famous chocolate sheet cake.

which was delicious.

success.

p was begging for cake.

so were all of the other kids -

bml had to rush to blow out the candles,

he had lots of help with singing and instruction

from the little ones.

it was sweet.

it would be nice to have ONE nice family photo,

we were hot, and sweaty, and sticky, and tired.

and loving every minute of being 30.

seriously, this was a great project.

celebrating each other, and our friends.

from here on out we are having birthday parties,

and celebrations for every occasion,

why not!?

we were exhausted at the end of the day,

but in love with our lives.

can't ask for a better evening than that.

we are blessed.

happy birthday b.
