THE BIG 30!!!

Celebrating the big 30 for me started on Wednesday when my awesome mother in law surprised me with an early gift, a new flash for my camera, woo hooo, and a bday lunch on Wednesday which was a nice afternoon together while the boys were in school!!

Then on Friday night, Momma, Lay, Me & Lor met up for our typical girls night out for pedicures followed by margaritas (like we always try to do for bdays & mothers day), but since none of us were really in need of pedi's we skipped them and headed straight to El Encanto for some appetizers and margaritas. Then much to my surprise I got presents and in those presents was the pair of boots that I had been wanting for a while yayaaa, along with an outfit, victoria secret gift card & lotion!! Totally scored in the gift dept. and I must mention speaking of gifts, the present I got from my cousin, Ashley, while they were here visiting ... a beautiful framed scenic picture of an oak tree and daisies (my favorite) in the background and engraved in the tree is a heart with Clayton heart Cristy inside and under that is all our kids names!! Such a neat idea and a great addition to my decor, I love it!!

On Saturday .. Lacey & my Momma with maybe a little help from my hubby, put together the MOST AMAZING 30th birthday party for me in the world and we had a blast!! Here is the evidence (as my friend Candis put it) .. I mean the pictures from our great night out!!! For any of you who don't know, I asked my husband for one thing on my 30th birthday and that was for him to dress like a cowboy for the night, being that I came out of a cake in lingerie for him on his 30th I'm pretty sure he knew there was no way he could deny me this one little request .. hahaaaa!!! So Momma & Lay took him shoppin for his get up and from the stories I hear, they had a great time on this little adventure of turning Clayton into a cowboy or better yet "Jason Aldean" hahaaaa, my boyfriend!!! I must say they did a darn good job and I was very impressed with my birthday cowboy .. he was lookin mighty sexy (not that he isn't always sexy) and much hotter than Jason Aldean!!! Lol!! And you didn't hear this from me, but I actually think he likes being a cowboy!! Hahaaaa!! So anyways back to our night out (sorry got a little distracted there!!), we got rooms in Tempe for the night and checked in around 3:00 so we could hang by the pool before getting ready to go out. When I arrived at our rooms Lacey had it all decorated along with 2 big ol' jugs of pre-made Boat Drinks & Jaime Drinks all labeled and decorated (still so mad at myself that I didn't get a picture of the jugs) and the party was on!!! We hung out at the pool for a while and then came back up to the rooms to get ready for our night out at Graham Central Station. Graham's was a blast, we danced the night away, ate some damn good food, rode the bull (not me .. didn't think that would be such a good idea in my skirt!!), and I even got a huge surprise when my girlfriends Donna & Jamie,that I have known since Kindergarten, showed up even though we thought they weren't gonna be able to make it!! Here are some pics & proof that everyone really did "cowboy/girl" it up for the night and had a great time!!
