When I am old I will drive a sports car...

At least we always joke that when we are old we will drive sports cars. Well, the night before my birthday Nate came in with a key and threw it at me. I looked outside and saw he had rented me a red mustang convertible... his way of hinting that I am old now. Of course I want a lime green one, but red will due for now!






We spent my birthday driving up and down the coast. We went out to the apple store in Costa Mesa via PCH.


On the way back we stopped at Huntington Beach to have lunch out at Ruby's diner (on the pier). Lucky for us there were 20-30 dolphins jumping around playing tag in the water. They were about 40 yards out. Ammon and Ressa enjoyed them so much they almost didn't want to go in and eat. Another plus was the large surf we have been getting. We always have fun watching the surfers.







Then it was back to Long Beach and off to the spa. After my hour at the spa we had a few friends over for dinner, cheesecake, and a quick round of "Scene It". It was a fantastic way to end an incredibly fun day! Really it was the best birthday!

Princess rule#1

Ressa decided to inform us that the number one rule for princess life is:

1. Princesses never fart... they never even have to!

When we asked what they do when they have gassy tummies she said "not fart". She followed that answer with... "only boys fart because they stink".

Walking boy!

1. Ammon took 4 huge steps the other day! He has continued as long as somebody is waiting to catch him at the end of the path. When we aren't waiting for him he uses his handy dandy push toy and wheels all over the house, yard and park when we go. He is not shy about bashing into furniture or running over any people or objects in his way. Crash the kids is becoming his favorite game! He is getting to be a fast little bugger too!

2. We are also excited that he is off bottles and into sippy cups now. He really thinks he is all grown up when he is drinking like the big kids.

3. He is quickly approaching 20 pounds! We weren't thinking that would happen so fast, but at his last weigh-in he was 19 pounds 10 ounces. Not long now till he can turn around in his car seat! That will make us all happy.
