I recently celebrated my 28th birthday… YIKES, I’m getting old! I could not have wished for a more wonderful day. My sweetie pie friend, Tasha, worked her magic and surprised me with a fabulously fun day with friends.
My girlfriends picked me up and we all went for mani-pedi’s. We relaxed our morning away being pampered and enjoying some much needed girl talk. Afterwards, we headed to Starbucks for our caffeine fix, and then we were off to Boulder. Our next stop was the beautiful Dushanbe Teahouse where we enjoyed a yummy brunch and mimosas.
The rest of our afternoon was spent shopping. The most fun was had at the hat stand on Pearl Street. I bet we spent a good half hour trying on every hat that stand had to offer, but it was the best silly fun!
The boys caught up with us for a delicious seafood dinner at Pappadeaux’s. After dinner we headed over to Tasha and Jacob’s for dessert… ladies and gentleman, this presented the best surprise of the day - my birthday cake. Tasha dreamed up a pretty daisy cake for me - white petals with a pink center - it would be just lovely. A trip to the grocery store provided her with a bundt cake pan, kind of looks like a flower she thought, then all she would need to do is fill up the center and her flower would be complete. Fast forward a bit… cake is iced, but those pretty bundt cake lines are now gone, covered up with white frosting. The center, a little higher than the cake itself, but iced in pretty pink frosting. Having a hard time visualizing this masterpiece, well trouble yourself no longer…
Confused? Are you thinking, hmm… this reminds me of something, but I’m not sure it’s a flower. It looks a little more like a…. boob? Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Tasha Belle made me a boob cake! And let me tell you, it was the best damn boob cake I have ever had!
And just when I thought this birthday can’t get any better, my hubby surprised me with a murder-mystery dinner train ride through the Royal Gorge. I’m a lucky lady!
More b-day pics…

On March 20th, my handsome hubby turned 30! To celebrate this momentous occasion we went to dinner with a group of friends. We went to a restaurant called Casa Bonita.
Casa Bonita is one of the most interesting restaurants we have ever been to. While we didn’t know exactly what to expect going into the evening, we had heard that the experience of eating there far surpassed the experience of eating their food. Casa Bonita lived up to its expectations.
Throughout the evening we were entertained by flame jugglers, a dancing gorilla and entertainers cliff diving. Light sabers were brought to our table for purchase, while we stuffed ourselves with an endless supply of sopapillas. After dinner we wandered through Black Bart’s cave and took a pony and donkey ride(on kiddie rides, not real ones!).
All in all, it was a great night. We were all hurting a bit the next day from the food, but it was well worth it!

Okay, nothing like that happened, but we had a lot of fun anyway! We went to celebrate Nikki's 2*th birthday and the main attraction was the Cirque de Soleil show, "Love". The show was really cool and set to the Beatles music. It seemed to be a mix between a play and a circus. I wish we could've used our camera in there, but we did get some good pics of Vegas. Check 'em out!

Nikki and I were just in Cincinnati to celebrate Luc's 4th birthday party. We brought our recently purchased
Canon Rebel XTi Digital SLR camera with us and snapped some pics to document the event. I've posted the pictures on Flickr.
Enjoy!
