Mom's Birthday and Cakes

My mom celebrated her birthday in a very special week of fun. On Thursday her sister Pat came in from California as soon as she landed the family met at the Silverton for dinner. Friday we celebrated at Mom's house with a Wii tournament pizza and I told mom I would like to bring desert. I surprised her with special cakelets . On Saturday mom's actual birthday we had dinner at the Black Angus and then went to see the Wayne Brady show. OVer all it was a very cool week end of family and fun!

My Aunt made my mom a very special scrapbook card with pictures of her throughout her life most of which she had never seen before.

Max's new toy

Here is Max and his new TOYota Tacoma. He is such a happy camper as are the girls with our two trips out to the lake this week. It has been nice taking those road in a more reliable ride. We have not had any luck fishing (perhaps we need to wake up before 10 LOL!) but we have had a great time as a family, Ethel and Lucy are so happy to go for truck rides. We were so surprised to see how much personality Ethel had exploring while Lucy was a bit more timid. It was a switch from how the girls are at home.

I was very lucky for Max and I to both be off on my birthday. We enjoyed the day in Boulder City, checking out antique shops, lunch at Milo's, dessert at the old candy shop and delicious ice cream. We had a great time just relaxing and being silly. We left Boulder City and headed to a class we were both taking (exciting) After Class we enjoyed dinner with the family at Bucca Di Beppo (great food but let's just say our waitress will not earn her employee of the year.) Read the captions for the pictures for more details.

Happy Birthday to me (my wonderful presents included the book, a massage (my hubby is the best,) a very relaxing pedi mani last week with/from Chrissy, walking socks, and money towards a trip I want take along with dinner from my awesome parents.


I had a great time trying on hats at one of the antiqu stores. This is also the same store I found the most random prize a wooden nickel from my 3rd grade teacher Mr. Loliadias at OK Adcock ES.

Dinner at Bucca I was very sad when our waitress asked me what I wanted for dessert and I told her cannoli's she replied "we don't have those any more." I almost cried and replied "cannolis are why I chose to come here." Fast forward to 20 minutes later and to our waitress poor service the kitchen manager when called in to help progress our meal along was able to produce my birthday cannolis (they don't carry them formally anymore but they do have a few hidden in the kitchen for those that ask.)
