BIRD SANCTUARY

After our great night out for my birthday we met my in-laws at the Bird Sanctuary the next day to pick up the kids.  My father in law has been volunteering there.  It was fun to see all the work he has put in to make is a nicer and safer place for all the animals.  The kids love to go see all the birds.

30 on the 30th

Image
Birthday's are ALWAYS very important to me, but this year was my Golden Birthday 30 on the 30th! Not to mention a BIG birthday so I wanted to make sure it was fun.  Fun doesn't even describe my day! My good friend Rachel went above and beyond for my birthday.  She started by surprising me with a lunch with friends from the ward.  Being that my birthday is during the holidays their were only a few ladies but I still had a great time.  She also managed to get all three of my sisters there too!

After lunch we went shopping "Charming Charlies"
Once we got home from that I took the kids over to my mother-in-laws for a sleep over.  When I came home these beautiful flowers were waiting for me.
Image
One of my favorite restaurants is Benihana's in the Hilton so that's were I chose for dinner.

 There is always a show when we eat there and this time the chef made Jordan catch an egg on a spachela.  Needless to say the egg cracked everywhere.
Image
Image
Image
 I love you out of the fried rice
Image
Image
 The chef told me I needed to trust him, he was going to throw the bowl of rice in my hands.
Image
 Luckily he tossed it up and then caught it and set it in my hands

This is a statue in the restaurant and I felt it needed to be covered!
