Birthday Weekend!

Busy, busy, (but fun) weekend!  It started off with my birthday on Friday.  Brandon took the afternoon off so I could enjoy a little "me" time with a massage, pedicure, and a little shopping.  Since softball and soccer practices were cancelled due to rain, we got to go out for a birthday dinner.  3 Margaritas!  Yum!

The real excitement started on Saturday - Hope's birthday.  Can she really be 9 already?  My little girl is definitely growning up!  We had a super fun roller skating party with a bunch of her friends at Skate City.  Next, she chose Sweet Tomatoes for her birthday lunch.  Then that evening she, Brandon, and cousin Averi went to Bandimere Speedway for "Night of Fire and Thunder".  She's won tickets to it every year through school for reading a certain amount of minutes.  This year, it just happened to fall on her birthday!  Averi stayed for a sleepover and they played the next morning, we went to church and then to a park.  After Averi went home, Hope and I went to the Rapids game with her soccer team.  The team got to walk on the field before the game and hold the big Rapids banner.  We had a great time!

Whew!  Here are some pics!
