3. BOOKS!!
Thanks to all my friends that constantly post about new books you read! I love that I can get ideas if new books and already have a review done!! It sure makes life a little easier :)
I have found a new love for books in the last couple of weeks and I can't seem to get enough

4. Friends....

5. My bed... Oh how I LOVE my bed. I wish I could stay in it ALL day...... *sigh*

6. Olive Garden's Italian Dressing!!!
I had NO idea that they sell it by the bottle and my co-workers took me there for my birthday lunch and bought me a bottle! OMG thank you! I AM OBSESSED! I have had like 10 salads since then.

7. Pretty Little Liars- This show is absolutely addicting....  and it was a book series before it was a show so I'm dying to read the series....

8. HUGE... I didn't think I would like this show but I do. Its kind of captivating and different than all the other shows that are on right now....


9. SLEEP- need I say more??

10. My new house! I LOVE the house we are renting! Its so beautiful!

I'm going to go relax... My birthday is tomorrow.... the BIG 23! I'm hoping to just relax and spend some quality time with the family!! And then a much needed date night with the hubby.

HaPpy Birthday & 4th Of July

We celebrated Matthew's 1st Birthday on Saturday. 

Thanks to everyone that came and for the birthday wishes. He 

had a really great day!!  He got lots of gifts and had a lot of 

people come to his party!! He had 2 cupcakes, (vanilla and chocolate) 

and a scoop of ice cream. (He didn't have a nap ALL day long.....) 

Thanks Leek family for pushing the sweets :)

We did his party ALL Toy Story. AND just about 

every toy he gotwas Toy Story! We re-did his room that theme so it 

was nice to receive a lot of the toys from the movie. We just have to 

finish decorating and put up some shelves and then we will be done!!

All in all it was a good party. Like 2 days before we 

found out Matty has another ear infection so for being sicky he was 

really happy! You would never know he was sick!

I've said it a thousand times and I'm saying it again.... 

I CAN'T BELIEVE MATTHEW IS ONE!!! 

He's old now.... Haha j/k.

On Sunday we got to see fireworks. We made sure Matthew got 

to see them. The last few years we haven't really seen any good fireworks. 

Th e first year we were married I think we watched them on TV. (woo hoo) 

The 2nd year we drove to the airport and watched them from the top 

story of the parking structure... (again woo hoo) And last year I had Just

barely had Matthew, literally, he was barely a day old, and we tried going to 

the airport again but we were late and ended up parking on the freeway 

from the traffic!!

So this year we were gonna go to Schnepf Farms and watch them there 

but we ended up in a parking lot near the new Banner Ironwood hospital with

a PERFECT view! Matty just loved all the lights and colors and had a blast! 

I'm glad we were able to see them!

It has been one AWESOME weekend! I've had Berto 

home with me since Friday and he doesn't go back to work until Thursday! 

Almost an entire week offof work and home with me! This hasn't happened 

since he started working  for Verizon.

Tomorrow is Matthew's 12 Month Well Check so I will have

stats and updates from his visit. He's getting shots tomorrow too so he

probably won't be happy.

Here's pics from the whole weekend! Enjoy!

The Party table
