Birthday Week

My Dad had business in San Diego and so my Mom got to tag along for the ride....and lucky me since we got to celebrate both of our birthdays together!  (she's the 20th and I'm the 21st....on purpose....so we didn't ever have to share a birthday).   We kept the week busy and full of fun- shopping, going to lunch, going to the design district in Cardiff, beach outings, and just hanging out.  Here we are in Del Mar for a picnic.  It ended up being quite a bit cooler than we thought, but I was wearing shorts and a tee-shirt, so who am I to complain?!?

Our little beach bum up to no good
Tuesday night we all went out to dinner for both mine and my mom's birthdays.  We left the kids behind with a babysitter and went to Jake's in Del Mar.  It was absolutely delicious and lots of fun to hang out with the family sans kids.  

For my birthday, Derek made me breakfast in bed and then my mom came over with balloons and flowers.  We then went to the UTC with Kathy and Landon for lunch and after I got to get my haircut!
Jack was LOVING the balloons (and still is)
That night, my mom watched Jack again so Derek and I could go out to sushi.  It was so nice to have a date night with just the two of us.  Then we rented MamaMia (my birthday=my pick) and got some ice cream.  What a great day- thanks everybody!
My Dad had Friday off, so we decided to take Jack and check out the LaJolla aquarium.  He had fun looking at the fishes (but he almost like looking at the people more!)

That night, we went up to San Clemente to have a kid-free birthday party.  We all met up at the Pizza Port and then filed on over to Derek's parents house to party like "Rock Stars". Tyson brought over his Guitar Hero World Tour as the main event- and there were some hilarious band moments.  Thank you to EVERYBODY for coming (some it was quite the drive) and for making my 26th birthday so much fun!!!!

So fun that you got to have your parents in town for your birthday! And I am so glad that Derek spoiled you and had a fun date night! Those are so great when you have a mom to babysit! Your party was fun! I am glad we got to come out for it. Seeing Ryan's face while he played the guitar and sang was worth the drive out. Happy Birthday! I love you!
