:: 24 on the 9th ::
{my birthday gift from Brock}

I am now 24.
Where has the time gone? I say that every year, 
and I'm sure I will keep saying it every year.
I have lived 24 years of bliss.
My birthday was perfect, just perfect.
I was side by side with my prince charming the WHOLE day in Park City, Utah. 
Being with Brock for a whole day is a treat to me.
We shopped, ate and laughed more than we have in a long time, and that was heavenly.
Sadly, Brock did not buy my the beautiful Porche in the picture above, but we were lucky to happen to be in the right spot at the right time to hit up a Porche car show. Beautiful.
The dark blue one was my favorite. One day, it will be mine.
 The car show was all the way down Main Street. Every Porche owner looked exactly the same - black jacket, jeans and a baseball cap. Hmm. Interesting. Brock and I found that funny.
 We ate lunch at the Red Banjo. YUM. It was a packed house, with one server. We surprisingly got our food quickly, although this sweet, stress-case of a server was hilarious. She would ask a table a question, for example: "How does everything taste folks?" but she would ask the question as she was speed walking away to get to her next order. HA. FUNNY. What topped it off for me was when she rushed to our table to bring drinks, she takes out ONE straw from her apron and set it down saying, "Oops, I only have one straw." then walked away. HA. Another funny. We thought for sure she would bring a second straw...NOPE.
Our food did hit the spot.
Bless our server's heart.
She gave us some very good laughs.
 Mr. Cohen was a sport. He shopped with us til we dropped. Needing to let some energy out, we let him down to explore every so often. This little man never stops when let loose. Like in the pictures below - one second wants to climb the railing, the next second runs away. All within the time of me clicking my camera to take a picture. I love him.
 ENOUGH SAID. We were all POOPED on our way home.
{notice his left sock pulled half way off, one of his new corks} 
After the babies were in bed, we had brownies and ice cream and cupcakes. And played the most funny game of Spades-hearts-heck.of.a {which ever name you want to call it} 
with Ty, Laura, Tiffy and Jade.
Needless to say my 24th birthday was perfect.
It didn't have one flaw.

I woke to my favorite breakfast made {sweet rolls and hashbrowns}.
I opened gifts from Brock and Cohen, 
then we were off for Park City for the day.
Half way through the day I even found a birthday-love note in my back pocket of my jeans. WHAT THE? How did he do that?!


I love my boys.
I LOVE birthdays.
Dang, now I have to wait a WHOLE year for another.
