He's baaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaccckk!!!!!!

Isaac Paul is back to visit us here in AZ for a little while. We are all excited! Especially Desi. And he is extremely excited to see Desi. He'll walk around with his arms out going 'De-si?' when she's at school or not in the same room. We've already started to have fun!

Oh! And Miss Desi-do got her hair cut!

A Hiking I Will Goooooo....

The other day on my day off I decided I would go to Lake Pleasant and do a little hiking. Lake Pleasant is the lake here in Phoenix that everyone goes to for boating, hiking, etc. I hadn't been hiking in close to two years.. yea... I'm convinced this was God's way of telling me I'm out of shape... But I managed it.. I did 3 miles round trip. And it was so peaceful. I was the only one on the trail..well except for the wild burro I came across and the numerous fast little lizards or whatever I saw.(I have to admit at first I was a little afraid of the wild burros... But then I realized if I didn't do anything to them they would leave me alone. So all I did was snap pictures of them while they watched me) But I had fun and am actually considering making hiking a more frequent thing. But note to self-don't go when temperatures are close to 100 degrees... makes for a hot hike! Here are a few pics I took while hiking.

Happy Birthday.... TO ME!

So this past Monday October 3, I turned 27. Do I feel 27? Nope. Do I care? Nope. I still feel young so that must mean 27 is still young! :-) Last year on my birthday Mike took me up in a hot air balloon ride. Nothing can top that yet since that is something I had been wanting to do for a VERY long time. But this year was still pretty awesome. Since my birthday was on a Monday and because Desi had cheerleading that she couldn't miss on that Monday we decided to do the celebrating over the weekend. So, on Saturday, Mike got my nails and a pedicure done for me. I LOVE getting pampered! He took Desi for me so I could just relax and not be rushed or stressing about what kinda stuff she's getting into at the nail place or the fact that she doesn't shut her mouth for 2 seconds(LOL). So since they were out doing their thing still when I got done I went and did a little shopping at Kohls. I happen to get some awesome deals. I got a pair of jean shorts(which I haven't worn in probably 8 or 9 years because I usually can't find any that work with my legs..) which cost me all of $2.80. I also got 2 tops at less than $4 a piece, and OF COURSE a pair of shoes, which cost me $24(they were originally $60 shoes). I couldn't complain! So,then that night Mike and Desi took me to our favorite cajun restaurant in Phoenix, Baby Kay's. Had some yummy Etouffe and Green Olive Coleslaw. A nommy birthday dinner.

Sunday Mike took me to get my hair done. It had been about 6 or 7 months since the last color. The girl I had at Beauty Brands did a great job. Love my cut and color.While I was getting my hair done Mike and Desi went to Trader Joes... They brought me flowers while there.

Then on Monday I had to work all day and then take Desi to cheerleading. Afterwards Mike made dinner and he had brought home my favorite cupcakes: Sprinkles!!!
All in all I must say I had a great birthday. And I have the best boyfriend and daughter ever.

Ohhhhh... and I forgot to mention that I bought myself a birthday present:
a MacBook Air! I <3 it!!!
