Happy Birthday Pretty!

Happy Birthday today to my favorite person EVER. He makes me super crazy sometimes but I'm sure that I return the favor frequently. This year Nicholas turns the big 3-0 so I wanted to do something a little more special than I have in the past. I decided to throw him a small party this past weekend at our friend's house complete with Buffalo Wild Wings (I'm so glad the new one opened in Citrus Heights because I was truly preparing to go to Reno to get them...they're the best wings EVER.) and rootbeer. I found some awesome beer mugs at the Dollar Store that I etched with the last intial of everyone that came and of course also scored a sweet pin the treasure on the map game.

We had a lot of fun stuffing ourselves with wings and just getting to spend time with our friends. We are so glad that everyone was able to come and celebrate with us.

Here are a few other pictures from the night including Nick opening presents and blowing out his candle. Oh and in case you were wondering what to do with about a 100 wing bones, you can spell out awesome messages with them. Gross? Yes. Awesome? A little bit.

Thanks again everyone and happy birthday babe.

Air Show!

One thing that we love about Rancho Cordova is that Air Show is so close to us. In years past we have just listened to the jets fly by our apartment and watch from right outside. This year Nick bought tickets so that we could actually go to Mather, check out all the airplanes, jets and helicopters as well as have front row seats to the show. Nick especially loves helicopters and I love Jelly Bellys so here are a couple of pictures reflecting our loves.

Besides seeing the cool displays we also enjoyed a Merlinos, the actual show and getting our own LiveCopter from the KCRA booth for Sienna. The guy handing them out must have really loved us because he was ONLY giving them out to actual children, but made an exception for us.

We loved that guy too, so we took our only picture together in front of the real LiveCopter 3...

We had a lot of fun checking everything out and talking to some cool people. We did however also learn somethings that we will definitely have to remember for next year: Bring an umbrella for shade, wear sunscreen and no matter how close you live paying the ten dollars to park is worth it over the long walk.
