Ashly turned 28!!!

Josh watched the kids so I could actually get ready for the day without the usual craziness! It was wonderful! I chose to wear my Great Grandma Thayer's jewelry because I was really missing her and wishing she could be there with us to celebrate and to tell me how proud of me she is for how far I've come in 28 years....

I turned 28 this Saturday and it was fantastic! I seriously had the best birthday weekend. It was better than last years because I didn't have to work, but mostly it was just great because I was surrounded by those I love and we had some good old fashioned fun! There was no chores, no work, no worries! Just lots of sugar and lots of laughing :).

Josh made me breakfast in bed that morning which was great for about two minutes but the kids made it impossible for me to eat. Josh on the other hand, ate all his food with no problems! I wanted so badly to ask him if he saw something wrong with this picture but I didn't want to cause problems on my happy day so I just took a few bites and moved on. Plus, there were presents to open! Austin stole everything from me before I could get a chance to really look at it, but as far as I know, I got a gift card, movies, and essential oils!

Austin loves to hang out in our bed. It's so cute! Meanwhile, Evie was on the floor crying for me to pick her up...

Breakfast in bed. The picture before the chaos hahaha!

Then Briana came to babysit so Josh and I could go out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory! It was delicious and I actually got to enjoy a meal for once!

Love this guy so much!

 

Mmmmm.... cheesecake!

 



Blowing out the candles and making a wish!

When we got back, Briana gave me an AMAZING deep tissue massage which was much needed. I have had a lot of back pain lately and going to the chiropractor didn't help :(. It's pretty nice having a massage therapist in the family!

Once we were done with the massage, Sadie and Trevor (Briana's boyfriend) were downstairs and we all went to a little cupcake shop called Showboy Cupcakes and each picked out a fun cupcake! Well, everybody but Sadie and Austin who wanted cookies.... They were super yummy and it was a really fun experience!

Inside the cupcake shop, trying to make the tough decision of which cupcake to choose!

The strange ones and their cookies....

Dad wasn't paying attention and Eve ate his cupcake! I'm not kidding when I say she is lightning fast when it comes to food!

Trying to get a group picture with my new selfie stick! It was really windy!

We sat outside and ate our cupcakes and then headed back to the house for a game of basketball at the park! It was a windy day but we all had such a great time! Seriously, we were laughing so hard at how horrible we have all become at sports hahaha! Austin threw the Frisbee around while we played on the court and Eve wandered around eating rocks and whatnot..... :).

Briana bought me a selfie stick for my birthday but for some reason my phone wouldn't work with it! So I had to use Josh's phone. Austin thought it was fun!

It was getting dark and we had worked up an appetite so we came back to the house and ate whatever we could find in the fridge. We laughed and talked and laughed some more. Trevor is getting more comfortable with us now and had us all laughing so hard!

I went to bed sleepy and completely happy and content with my life. That's how you know it was a good day! I can't wait to see what this year has in store and I know as long as I have my family we can't go wrong!
