My 21st Birthday, Part 1 :o)


My 21st birthday was on July 14th, and I had such fun!  On my actual birthday I went to work and my mom had hung up the happy birthday sign and gotten me a "Happy Birthday Princess" balloon.  That made work fun and it went by really quick.  Then, I came home (Nick was in Riverside so I was killing time until he got there) and skyped my grandma so I could open my present from her in front of her.  Hannah came over right when I got online and brought me a slurpee! YUM!  After Hannah left and I finished my conversation with my grandma, I decided to leave and go to my friend's Melissa and Jessica house.  Melissa said she would make me dinner and boy did she!  I hung out, drank coffee, and talked for a few hours before nick got there and my sis-in-law joined us.  Melissa made a lemon pepper chicken, wagon wheel noodle with cream sauce dish.  It was AWESOME!  That was accompanied with garlic bread and salad with all the fixin's.  After dinner I opened gifts (which were unexpected) and was very stoked.  I got an orchid (which I am not sure is still alive) and margarita glasses (6) which we used that night.  I also got 50 bucks from Sarah, a candle from melissa, and flowers/chocolate from Nick. :o)  I am such a lucky girl!

Then, we played bogee for a while while Josh watched TV.  Cake came next, followed by Nick sleeping and us playing a bit more bogee.  All of the card time involved strawberry margaritas.  We came home after bogee and ther water was off so we just went to bed.






The fun didn't stop on my birthday night.  The next night we hung out with ryan and jessica at our house.  We ended up seeing them in the store and they said they would come over later.    They got here at about 9:15pm and that's when the fun began. 

YEAH BABY!!! 21!!!!!!!!! :o)


A walk on the beach

We went to a random beach in Carlsbad in the beginning of July and got a few fun pics.  A very romantic night!

Nick on the beach, the last hint of daylight behind him.


 Then he decided to double fist Starbuck's coffee lol!

 
And us on the beach right before leaving (pitch black that is why it is so blurry!) :o)

Grandma's Mother's Day tea

As a belated Mother's Day gift, my mom enlisted the help of me and my sisters to create a surprise tea for my grandma when she came out for Heidi's graduation.  It turned out great, and my grandma felt loved.

Happy Grandma!

Father's Day!


My hubby cooked for Father's day this year for my daddy.  We had shrimp cocktails, steak, baked potatoes, and a lot of other yummy food I'm sure.  Couldn't resist posting this picture of him eating shrimpies!

As I said, Nick cooked the steaks on the BBQ! Yay for a hubby who knows how to grill!


And, after he was done grilling he attempted to twirl Hannah's color guard flag lol!




Hannah watched in the grass while playing with Molly




And Molly fell asleep from exhaustion on top of my tennis shoes. :o)




Heidi's High School Graduation

Yep, another graduation post for Heidi.  This one is for her high school graduation though (June 11, 2009).  My little sister is all grown up... ;-( *Tear*

But really, I am proud of her for getting through high school and being involved with so many activities.  She is such a hard working person.  Love you Heidi!
