Dirty 30...

First things first...I'm baaaaaack!!! :)

Secondly, I have a ton of catching up to do! We left two weeks ago for a quick weekend trip to Seattle for our friend Doug's 30th b-day bash! We got home that Sunday and the very next day, I drove to Utah with Tucker for the week. Ben flew down a few days later to join us and to drive back with me-but it was a whirlwind trip and SO much fun. I feel like I have been gone forever and am still trying to recover from driving for 12 hours alone with a toddler. Just today, I finally had the nerve to start organizing/editing the 500+ pictures I've taken in the past few weeks. Anyway....here's a start...

Seattle was great. We always love spending time with Doug and Sadie. And a reason to celebrate makes it even better. Doug's party was a surprise to him, and SO much fun! We are so glad we went over for it, even though it was a quick trip. Our weekends together always go by way too fast!

Doug & Sadie's friend, Joy, who has become our friend through them made this amazing cake for him!!! The brewery where the b-day party was held wouldn't let homemade cakes be brought in, only store bought. But they totally bought that this was a store bought cake--she is THAT good! :) It was delicious too!

The theme of the party was like retro/vintage athletic wear. Sadie had a special jersey made just for him on his big day and we all sported his old b-ball jerseys from back in the day! :)

Good times!!!

It's hard being the mom of the coolest kid on the planet!!! :)

The guys took a tour of the brewery! Ben was really into it, can ya tell??? :)

Doug even got a hug from a rollerskating Marilyn Monroe!?!

Of course, Tucker has to help out with every candle blowing event there is!

Then Doug got his 30 spankings from the kiddos there.

Eric & Joy (the creator of that beautiful cake!)

Tucker loves him some Emily!

Emily & Dave...we were so lucky that all of our good friends were there...

Lovely ladies: Sadie, Emily & Meredith...

Happy B-day Doug!!! We love you and are so happy that you've made it this far!!! :) ha ha

We crammed a lot more into the weekend than just the party, but I'm just beginning this organizing of the picture process...so more will have to come later! I just really didn't want to see that dang fish anymore!!! :)
