Birthday Fun!

I have been SO bad at keeping my blog updated lately. We have been extra busy this summer so I haven't really taken the time to update. I will work on getting better.

This past weekend was my 25th birthday! Wow...I can't believe I am 25.
As my brother said...I am old enough to rent a car. Hmmm....something seems strange about the fact that I have graduated college, am married, and have a kid and couldn't rent a car until now. Interesting!

Anyway, we had a fantastic weekend. Nick surprised me on Friday by taking off work to take Eden and I to lunch at the Aquarium downtown. We had so much fun and Eden had a blast. She LOVES fish tanks!!! By the way - if you live in town or near by click here to receive a coupon to buy one all day pass for $15.99 and get another one free. That pass gives you all day access to everything at the Aquarium. (A GREAT deal)

Saturday morning after we all got up and got ready, we dropped Eden off at my parent's house and Nick and I took off to get some Starbucks - mmmmmm yummy - White Chocolate Mocha!! It was so nice to just sit outside and sip my coffee next to my sweetie and enjoy the calmness. After we finished our coffee's we walked down to this amazing salon and had a couple's massage. Oh, it was so relaxing. I didn't want that hour to end.

After our massages we went to have lunch at Five Guy's burgers! Delicious!

Then we went to our hotel down in the Museum District. It was called Hotel ZaZa and it was eclectic and fun. We went out to the pool and got some drinks and relaxed for about an hour. Afterward, we went up to our room and took naps - oh naps - I love them!!

For dinner Nick took me to The Melting Pot.
The Melting Pot is a fondue place where you get a 4 course meal. The first course was a cheese fondue and the dippers were bread, vegetables, and Granny Smith apples. The second course was a gourmet salad. The third course was the main course consisting of lobster tail, chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp. They actually bring the meat out raw and you cook it in the fondue pot of broth. It was interesting, but very tasty. The last course was the best part which was a chocolate fondue. The dippers for that were brownie bites, rice Krispy squares, pound cake, strawberries, banana's and cheesecake. It was all very good and worth the money - but I think it's a one time experience. Nick and I decided we would rather have our food cooked :)

We had a nice relaxing weekend and it was just what I needed for my birthday. Eden did great at GG and Papa's house and she didn't want to leave!

Since we didn't take any pictures on our weekend get-away (oops) here are some cute pictures of Eden I promised in my last post! Enjoy! :)

Look what Eden decided to do....


Eden thinks she wants Mommy's help now...


Little sassy pants...


This is what she does when we ask her what a piggy says...


And this is what she does when she is looking for something...


Just look at those precious curls...


She is addicted at a very early age. When we get Sonic drinks she always says "Eye, eye, eye" (trying to say ice) She gets to eat the ice when we are done.


And this is where I found Eden after she disappeared this morning...she must think I needed to update my blog!
