Birthdays are the Best Days

So if you don't know me {which all subscribers are my family so most reading this already have the inside scoop}, but I'm BIG on birthdays. Its a day, for me a whole month {yes I'm spoiled}, when its all about you! Today is my hubby's birthday so we celebrated with a camping trip up north. We love going to Ventura and San Luis Obispo area. My brother and his wife came along for the fun.

This trip we went to a ranch in Santa Barbara, about 30 minutes from the coast. I was so excited because the campground was at a ranch with horses and it was going to be so much fun. I was seeing rainbows and butterflies in my mind. We arrived, I got out of the car and my weekend of sunshine and horses was ruined by FLIES, a lot, a lot of flies. Miserable amounts of flies. We tried setting up our tents but it was unbearable. My poor dog was choking every 5 minutes because of them- yes it was that bad. So we very quickly packed up and headed to Ventura. We had been camping at a nice campground there a couple times before so we knew there was no flies. YAY!

It was a great weekend of relaxing and shopping. I did not find anything I had to have but my sister-in-law got a great old window{which I forgot to take a photo of}. We made a delicious lunch of mahi mahi tacos with black beans and corn.  Savannah made some yum yum guac too. 

Aren't those some yummy looking avocados! 

And here is my Jack waiting for Vanna to drop some food under the table

It was a great weekend and I can not wait to go on another trip. 
Today being his actually birthday we had a dinner party at my hubby's fathers house. My hubby's fav fav fav team is the LA Lakers. So of course I can't just throw my hubby a dinner on paper plates but I have to go all out with some Lakers decorations.  My mom and sister-in-law- ok I have to stop typing that. I just don't like calling her my 'sister-in-law' it sounds like such an awful title. She is my sister and I'm going to refer to her as my sister cause sister-in-law just sounds dumb and she is my sister. Okay back on track.... my mom and sister actually did all of the setting up! I have the best family in the world and pretty much every one on the planet should be jelly.

My sister makes the most divine cupcakes. 

And now introducing one of the most adorable babies in the world... E.M.T.K.

And because I have some of the best friends in the world I even got a present on Jimbo's birthday, told you I am spoiled! I got a Hello Kitty soda that I have been wanting soooo bad!

What's a party with out some silly string???

All and all it was a great day and I am so blessed to share it with friends and family I love.

Girl, we had SO much fun camping!!! Good thing that we didn't stay over at the infested fly spot...that was horrible. But I LOVE Ventura!!! Walking downtown and all over the farmers market was awesome. You will have to come over and see where we put the window that we bought at the antique store.. All together it was a great weekend. Jimbo's birthday party turned out to be so much fun! KOBEEEE!!!! And i'm glad that you liked the cupcakes. Love Love Love that I am no longer your "sister-in-law"...that sucked hahaha.
