One Weekend - My Birthday, Mickey LIVE and Valentine's Day, OH MY!

My Birthday
After waking up to a beautiful blanket of snow and Alan not being able to make it to work, I spent the morning yet again playing in the snow (building snowmen, making snowangels and having snowball fights with Alan, Isabella and my dad.) 

After lunch the sun came out and started melting the snow, so luckily we were able to make it to Lubbock for me to get my hair cut.  I was spending many days with it in a ponytail, so that is a sure fire way to know it's time for a new haircut.  I love it...again I went short & sassy, except this time it has more layers which I like because it gives it more volume which is something my hair is definitely lacking.  We then ran a few errands and returned home to get ready for a birthday dinner with friend's that had been set up.  Was suppose to be a surprise but I'm not good with surprises and generally figure things like this out.  HAHA!  We had an excellent dinner at Outback with some very special friends Thursday night. 
Thank you so much to all of those involved! 
To those of you who weren't able to attend, I understand and you were definitely missed. 
I had a wonderful birthday and am very blessed with amazing family and friends.

              The 29 yr old Birthday Girl!                           
   
Isabella and her adorable boyfriend! hehe...ok, ok, non-blood related cousin!!

Was this cake intended for a Wedding Shower or Baby Shower??  Not quite sure but I was assured it was a mistake on the bakery's part but who cares when it's DELICIOUS!!!  I'm use to ugly cakes on special occassions...seems to be something that doesn't only happen once to me.  It's always the thought that counts!
 

Isabella was so funny when they were singing Happy Birthday TO ME!!  She thought they were singing to her and she got all embarassed!!!  I love this kid!!

Mickey LIVE!!
Friday evening Hollie/Caitlin, Kyla/Kaegan and Isabella & I went to see Mickey LIVE!  We had so much fun and all three of the kiddos absolutely LOVED it!!  They each had their favorite parts and it was so fun to see the joy & excitement on their faces!!  Popcorn was the choice of snack for both of the girls, Isabella got after the cotton candy and Kaegan had some nachos.



Many of their favorite characters were there...The whole Mickey clan, several favorites from Toy Story, Cinderella, Tigger...







Visit from Hollie & Caitlin
Best of Friends!!  Silly Girls!!

They had their own little band going...

BATH TIME!

The girls were so cute with the binoculars we got them.  They looked for birds and went on safari and even peeked at each other across the table at lunch.



Isabella introduced Caitlin to the ball popper....
I think she enjoyed it just as much as Isabella has the past 2 years.

Valentine's Day
These two girls had so much fun together!  Can't wait till they come visit again!!

My lil' Valentine!

Isabella and Ricky played Rockband and several games of Hopscotch and even watch a little Max & Ruby!

Isabella's Valentine - Thank You Ricky for babysitting so that Alan and I could go to a movie!  Gotta love the Early Bird showing of the most seen movie on Valentine's Day 2010...Valentine's Day (most commercialized movie I have ever seen), sitting in the wrong theater for 20 minutes and spilling 3/4 of your large popcorn before even getting to your seat!  However, I definitely enjoyed the time spent with Alan!
Isabella was excited and enjoyed receiving mail  and goodies from family and friends for Valentine's Day!!
