 Happy 30th birthday to me!! So spoiled, so loved. Brennan let me sleep in while him and the girls went to the store to get some birthday supplies. I woke up to them telling me to come out of the room, they started singing to me. They had breakfast muffins with candles in them, 30 balloons, fruit, yogurt, and cute faces. At the end of the happy birthday song Brennan let off a confetti cannon and it surprised me hahaha, it was so fun. Claire told me to “make a wish” so I did that blew out my candles. Received a lot of lovely happy birthday text from friends and family throughout the day. Got to FaceTime my mom and dad that night which was so great to talk to them. 

I wanted to go on another hike as a family so we headed off to silly Mountain. As a family of four we hike to the small and medium peaks. Claire did awesome, but she was over it after the medium peak. Paisley wanted to go all the way to the top so Claire and I waited on a bench while Dad and Paisley hiked to the top peak. They were able to see us and wave from the very top! It was so fun to see them.

We are headed home, rinsed up, changed and then headed out to Glendale Because one of my favorite restaurants is out that way. The girls slept all the way out, so Brennan and I got a fun uninterrupted date in the car. When we got to Glendale, we went to remote control cars in the church parking lot, played tag and firefighters at the park, played on the swings, went and picked up Chinese food from my favorite restaurant, I went and ate at picnic tables at the park. While driving around Glendale, it was fun to pull out to Paisley the apartments that we lived at when she was born and we even passed the hospital that we had her at. Wild to think that five years ago today we are bringing her home from the hospital as first time parents! I had the most perfect 30-year-old birthday today. Spent with and hearing from the people that I love most. Couldn’t have asked for more.

We have been counting down the daaayyss! Paisleys 5th birthday party!! We invited all our friends to enjoy an evening of pizza, cupcakes, gifts and playing at the park. I was so grateful for the turnout. Paisley was so so excited. We had a blast and I couldn’t have asked for a better evening. I was stressing since this is our first year doing a party for Paisley, but all the details worked out leading up to it in the Lord’s way so it could go off without a hit. A fun Paw Patrol theme to top it off.  Raul and Rose and Natalie From Sofia (& Heather) From Haven (& Hana) Kingston, Maya, Ivy (& Aubrey) Madi (& Kristy) From Wade and Banks (& Courtney) From Evelyn and Dayton (Robyn & Dane) From Charlie and Mae Mae (Derrick & Kaitlynn) Singing Happy Birthday 5 years old
