You may have picked up on my enjoyment of going to the Aquatic Center with the boys. While I do enjoy swimming (not the swimming suit part so much), I love to see my boys enjoying the water even more! After getting home from Colorado, and upcoming work commitments for Patrick, we decided to take off a little early the night before, and go straight to the Aquatic Center! The boys were a bit confused at our out-of-order schedule. During the "break" (where they make everyone get out of the water for 10 minutes), we took advantage of the snacks sold there, and picked up a few pieces of pizza and some nachos! Because the pool closes at 6:00, we still had time for the majority of dinner at home.

| SO MUCH FUN! |
On my actual birthday, Patrick picked up some Papa Murphys pizza on the way home, and we just spent the time together, at home. My parents and in-laws all gave me money, knowing that what I wanted most was a new flash! Patrick found it online for the best price, and ordered it a few weeks in advance...and had it wrapped for me that evening...of course, Ryder thought he should open it for me!

| The boys all wore their Mother's Day outfits to celebrate my birthday...until I made them strip down in the Family Room (I was doing laundry!)... AND - be sure to notice my AWESOME flash was used is all of the pictures, following me opening the gift! |
We took the Saturday following to have an "official" birthday celebration - lunch at Noodles & Co, and Red Mango!! Knowing we needed to get the boys down for a nap (uh, hello, ROY DAYS FIREWORKS was that night!), we helped the boys eat their shared treat, along with a lemonade chiller. Patrick and I took ours home to enjoy while they napped!

| Mmmm...yummy lunch at Noodles & Co, followed by Red Mango! |
I had such a great birthday this year! Spending time with my boys is the greatest gift...although my gifts and lunch were fun too!
