My 21st Birthday

I have the most wonderful hubby ever! Because he couldnt take yesterday, the actual day of my birthday, off, he made plans for the weekend!

We went to Maddie's 1st birthday party at Norfolk, which was a ton of fun! Maddie is so cute, I cant believe its already been a year! I even got to decorate her cake, but was stupid and didnt take any pics of it. Woops!

From the party, we drove to Williamsburg and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge. Its an indoor water park/resort. It was a blast! There were so many things to do that we ran out of time. I loved the raft slide and the wave pool the most, and Peter made me go on the Tornado slide thing a couple of times. I liked the outdoor pool as well, and it wasnt as crowded.
This is one of the kids areas...

They had a create your own slush station, which made Peter very happy...he LOVES slushes!
I convinced Peter to take this picture...it took a lot of convincing!

After we left the water park, we went to Historic Williamsburg.
Peter made me a confetti birthday cake!

Since yesterday was my actual birthday, we went to this bistro that Ive really been wanting to go to in Staunton. I would really recommend it if I could remember the name...haha. I also got to go on a shopping spree at Short Pump! This was definitely my best birthday yet! Thank you baby!

P.S. Blogger is being a pain downloading pictures, so the rest will be on my facebook.

And So Fourth....

I know this is a little late, but Happy 4th of July! I love BBQing and watching the fireworks! This year we didnt go see any fireworks, instead we watched Peter's brother, Brandon, lite some off after a BBQ. They got some really cool fire works, so it was fun - minus the bugs. Overall it was a good day, and I know Peter enjoys spending time with his fam damily.

Other than the 4th, life has been full of working. The kids I nanny have had swimming lessons, so its nice to get to hang out at the pool for awhile. Even with screaming, splashing kids, its pretty relaxing! Who would have thought? haha. Peter has been working an insane amount, but what can I say, hes good at what he does :) He'll be going to Mexico in a few weeks to meet with some high ranking officials of the Mexican Government, which, needless to say is pretty cool. This is an unbelievable opportunity, and I'm sooo proud of him! I know I sound like Im bragging, but I'm allowed to brag about my awesome hubby every once in a while, right? hehe.

Anyone have any dinner ideas for this week? We need some new ideas - Im in the mood for a change :)

This was a really random post, but it's all what's on my - very - disorganized mind! I'll try to be more organized next time.
