The "Fros": I'm 30

I'm 30

I have officially turned 30!

I knew it was going to happen, and I

knew it wouldn't be easy, but i am 30!!

I remember walking down the road with my

friends growing up and walking along the hot tar

in our bare feet and talking about what age was old,

and we all agreed that 30 seemed so far away, and

that 30 was OLD!!

Now that I am here, Not BAD!!!

30 is a GREAT AGE!!

I kicked off the Big weekend with a little get together with

some of my bestest buds, since elementary! My friend

Jen has a house in Holliday and a pool, and so we had

some fun in the sun. Jen also had some cake to help celebrate!

Thanks Jen, it was a lot of fun and I LOVE your house.

Then my only request for my birthday was to go

CAMPING!!

I wanted nothing more than to camp on my day.

But due to my CRAPPY back, and leg issues I am having

we had to settle for the next best thing- pretend camping

as my little sis calls it. We get to enjoy the mountains,

enjoy the fire, but enjoy our beds when it is all said and done.

I have to admit, it was WONDERFUL!!

My whole family came up and we played by the river,

had some delicious food (thanks britto-especially for the

oreo cookies that everyone LOVED!!!

you know what I am talking about!!)

Two of my favorite sisters!!

(Heather as always, we miss you!)

All the other pictures are on my sisters camera

so this is all I could post for now!

My dad took all the kids on a little mountain

adventure, and he made them all camoflauge.

they loved it and they love pappa!

To kick off the actual day I got to start the day off with

one of my favorite people in the world- My DAD!!

It is my favorite tradition to play tennis the morning

of my birthday. This year I was so worried it wasn't

going to happen because I haven't had feeling in my

legs and I was so sad I started crying that I wouldn't

get to play tennis with my dad. I made my sisters

cry too, it was great. But with some luck, I made it!!

We tied by the way- of course!! I wasn't about to let my

65 year old dad beat me on my birthday!!

Thanks Dad- You made my birthday.

Then after that we headed to lunch with my sister

and her family to TUCANOS. It was delicious

we only shattered one plate, and ended up FULL!

Then For my birthday Fro gave me a bizzillion

gift cards (well almost 30!) So i could go have some

shopping fun!! So that is what I did, all by myself.

Shopping without kids is HEAVENLY!!

Then to top off the night, I went with Fro to see

the movie, THe Proposal.

It was a lot of fun, and was a fun way to top

off the night.

I had mentioned to a few people one of my favorite desserts

are these special cupcakes that my old boyfriends Mom

makes. I thought, wouldn't that be so wonderful if I

could have those for my 30th birthday. They are that good!!

Well my best friend LINDSAY came through!!

I couldn't call up my old boyfriend, so of course she

did all the dirty work-- just kidding!! She made it all

happen and suprised me with them- I have the best

friends in the world- not just because they give me

food, but they bend over backwards for me!!

These are the most delicious cupcakes in the world.

I tried to make them once, but it wasn't the same.

They are only good if Judy Beck makes them,

and boy were they worth all the calories. I had them

gone in two days, and I only shared a couple!!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Thanks everyone for all the fun, presents,

and memories- It was Great!!!
