the big 30!

it was really hard to be sad about turning 30. i didn't forsee myself really panicking or doing something crazy! i turned 30 on mother's day. which sounded pretty crappy at first because i felt like i got robbed a little bit. but, turns out turning 30 on mother's day is a pretty good thing. most people are extra nice to you simply because it's mother's day! i remember when mark turned 30 a long time ago (i kid honey;) ) i thought about my own. perhaps some fun party. i pictured some drinks involved. maybe in another city or state. what i did not picture was pregnant, on mother's day, with two kids hanging out and trying to figure out when the littles would get a nap! but, at the end of the day i have to say it was way better than any vegas trip i could have imagined. the night before mark planned a little surprise dinner with some great friends! we ate dinner at 5 pm (because kids were involved), had ice cream by 7 and kids were sleeping by 9 pm and we were watching tv! for my actual birthday we went to the beach with kelly + her fam! it was so fun! lots of pictures were taken and i'm still needing to upload all of them! but, first. the last day in my 20's. we did some shopping in the morning! 

two of the best friends a girl could have! we have a small army between the 3 of us and having people to relate to your everyday crazies and frustrations is pretty key to keeping sane while raising little kids! and catherine welcomed her baby boy may 14th!

meet the newest addition to our army! can't to wait to find out if he will have a new best friend or a girlfriend in august!

my sweet, long lost college best friend even came! we may not see each other or talk all the time but it is always so awesome to see her! and avery was pretty happy as well! :)

i have more pictures from dinner, although not many because i didn't take them until the end. but, i will share more soon!

after dinner our family and grandpa johnnie went out for a dessert!

my sweet boys! blake was loving the mini m+m's

and my sweet girl!

avery picked out a lollipop

you can guess who took over and was in charge of giving blake the candy!

pretty great last day in my 20's! onto the next decade!
