Birthday fun!!

I'm no longer 30.  I'm that weird odd number of 31.  For some reason, 31 just sounds much older than simple 30.  I don't get confused anymore with college students and I'm wondering when I grew up! (Disclaimer: I haven't been confused for a college student for a looonnnng time...so I'm not sure why I said that!)

Regardless, I celebrated another birthday and it was a great weekend because of it!  Friday night, Justin organized some friends of mine to meet us at Shiki, a hibachi place here in OKC.  He is always trying to surprise me and he never seems to do it.  But, he put together a great group of friends to join us almost get our eyebrows burned off.  We had a fun chef who gave us a great show and cooked us some amazing food.

Casey, the photo-bomber.

After, we didn't know what to do so we went to listen to some Souled Out at the UCO Jazz Lab.  I have been here only one time before and that was listening to Matt Stansberry. Wasn't sure what to expect except there were a bunch of older people there shaking their groove thang.  It was hysterical to watch them.  We enjoyed the music for sure and might have even danced a little ourselves!

It was packed so we watched from the balcony!  The band and old people dancing.

Here are my young friends who joined us old people.  They have yet to even reach 3-0!

So that was Friday night.  My cousin came to watch the kids and it was great to have them in bed asleep when we got back!!  Saturday we were going to hang out with my family that night, but my mom was super sick so we changed our plans a wee bit.

We were going to go to Cafe 7 since that sounded delicious but Haylie preferred Chick-fil-a.  And who am I to tell my kiddo no??  She just "wanted some chicken", so off we went to CFA.

After lunch I decided to get an impromptu haircut (3ish inches off) and after we got home, the kids took a nap and I went off with Maria for some lazy shopping!  It's been ages since I went to any store just to browse, so that's what we did!  And dreamed we had lots of money to spend on things.

After we got back, the kids were ready to go to the park!  So off we went in our pink and purple bikes.

I have to share this card with you - it's hysterical.  Justin knows me so well. :)

After a dinner cooked by the hubby, we topped off the day by going to Pinkitzel at bedtime to sugar ourselves up!  We got to try four cupcakes and they were each delicious!!

(Top L, clockwise) Chocolate truffle, Birthday Surprise, Turtle Cheesecase and Peanut Butter Delight.  YUM.

It was so yummy and what a fun day it was!  BTW, this is the first picture of H that I think really looks like my side of the family!  It must be the hair.
