This past Friday was my 29th birthday and we had a whole weekend of fun stuff planned! On Friday I had coffee with my mommy friends and celebrated with a fruit cup and a glass of iced tea. I know crazy hardcore right? My friend Kim brought a candle and balloons with candy that I could eat. We stuck the candle in a grape and I made my wish. I also said that next year we are going all out and I'm buying a cake from Ettore's to really indulge! Friday night Nic, Jackson and I went out to dinner and spent a nice evening together.
Saturday we went to our friend Rustin's house who had a birthday BBQ lunch. Jackson got to meet a cutie named Ashlyn, who is 7 months old. She grabbed his face for a second and it either scared him or hurt him and he started crying, well like a baby! He stuck his bottom lip out and all, of course Nic and I cracked up at the little "drama boy". He quickly snapped out of it and we had a great day! Happy Birthday Rustin! Rustin is working hard at his doctorate in mechanical engineering at UCD, next year it will be Happy Birthday Dr. Vogt!
Sunday we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast.....although the elimination of eggs from my diet has proven a little challenging I managed to enjoy, potatoes, bacon and fruit! We then got ready to head down to the Consumes river with our friends Heidi and Keith. We packed up snacks, water, hats, sunblock and sunglasses for our journey less that 2 miles away! The weather topped out at 102 degrees and the water felt so good! Keith and Heidi were well prepared with an umbrella, chairs and lots of water! We had a great day relaxing and enjoying this treat literally in our backyard! We came home got cleaned up and headed to my parents for a birthday dinner. My dad grilled tri-tip and veggies, and mom made a yummy salad, lots of rice for me and raspberry sorbet with strawberries for dessert. My sister and her boyfriend came up to celebrate. Thanks to everyone for your calls, emails, texts and gifts! My first birthday as a mom was very special!
