Brunch and Boat

My BFF Sherry invited us all for a day of brunching and boating from Marina Del Rey to Palos Verdes.  Yes, we did this for my 40th and Sherry thought it would be fun to do a repeat birthday.  Besides getting a little sea sick, I had a great time with my sweet friends who spoiled me and made me feel 41 and fabulous!  I feel grateful to have these lovely ladies in my life who I've known since Junior High and College.  It's fun for us Mom's to take a day off to laugh and let loose once in a while!  Thanks Sherry... you're wonderful!

Sherry, Joyce, Renee, Michelle, Debbie, Angie, Roni, Heather, Lynn and Trista.

We anchored right in front of the Struble house where Jeff and I lived when we got married.

My 41st Birthday

We made cupcakes, the girls made me gifts and Jeff took me to a nice dinner at Buona Vita.  During dinner I got a call that Jessie fell and knocked out her 2nd tooth riding her scooter.  We rushed home and she was happy to show us her new smile.  I wanted to kill that little bugga who wasn't wearing her helmet.  How many 5 year old's do you know who've managed to knock out both of their front teeth?  By the next morning I was over it and felt bad for her.  Even with her teeth missing that girl is so damn cute!

A day filled with activities and fun... bike parade, chilli cook off, hula hoop contest, pie eating, face painting, balloon making, BBQ, John Brown Band, and fireworks.  All with friends, family and neighbors.
