Ringin' in 25 with style

A Stolkholm Royal, my favorite drink at the Vintage Press where Beau treated me!

Jake, Beau, Sean and Thomas

Jessica, Rochelle, me, Tay and Ab

Birthday sorbet! I made a good wish : )
I had an incredible day yesterday. I woke up and Beau had me open his gift, a new iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!! If you couldn't tell from all the exclamation points, I was OVER THE MOON excited! My husband is amazing : )  Then went for a run with Abbey. Yesterday, our local running store, Soul 2 Soul, posted on Facebook that if we let them know when and where we were running, they would find us and let us spin a wheel and win a prize. And they found us!!!! Out of the 100 people that posted where they would be, they hunted me and Ab down and we won a $10 giftcard and a Nurtrition Pack. I was really excited : ) The bug guy came and sprayed for ants (our house in infested so to get rid of them was a very special birthday gift ha ha). We headed to Verizon to switch over my numbers, had a lovely lunch with Beau and Kensie and then headed to Soul 2 Soul to buy myself a birthday gift. My parents and my Papa gave me money and I decided to purchase a Garmin, a watch you wear when you run to track pace, time and distance. Wore it this morning and I love it! Then came home to get ready for birthday dinner at the VP with a few friends and family! What a wonderful day : ) 25 is a good age!

Um, she really wanted this grape!
Yesterday, it FINALLY cooled off to a lovely 82 degrees and I was in heaven! This weather is way over due but it's back into the 90s this week : ( Hey, take it where you can right? Mom and Dad are off to visit Lizzy tomorrow so they're going to miss my birthday on Wednesday. Thus, we had a little pre-bday dinner at their house and it was the best night ever! My camera ran out of juice but I did snap a few great photos of our little munchkin : )

National Champions!

The fabulous resort the Clippers put us up in! Golf course, pool, spa...

Great view, NM is beautiful

On the bus, ready to head to the game.

Getting my baby fix with Ethan!

Got to the game early and walked around a bit.

Ethan was captivated by Lisa from The Simpsons!

SO proud of Beau, such a great year!

Great beards these two have huh?

The GM and Manager

The mascots even made the trip!

This is one of 4 bins full of champagne bottles popped in the clubhouse, boys...
At the very, I mean very, last minute, I booked a flight to Albuquerque, NM to meet my husband and watch he and the Columbus Clippers compete for the National AAA Title. What a great last minute decision! I had such a wonderful time and made tons of great memories. We WON and Beau was amazing! 2-4 with an RBI single and solo home run. Got to see my girls and spend some quality time with them before off-season officially started. We are finally home, flew in yesterday morning and nothing could be better than being in our home together as a family. Let the off season begin!
