Birthday Fun

I wrote a long blog about my birthday yesterday and somehow it all got erased before could publish it! grrr. So here we go again...

I just celebrated my 27th birthday this weekend! I can't believe I'm in my "late twenties"...that sounds so old! Scott keeps reminding me that he's still 26 until October and likes to rub it in that I'm an "older woman"...such a nice husband, isn't he?

We had a wonderful weekend to celebrate and actually enjoyed a little bit of sunshine in this month of rain that we've had! Scott let me sleep in on Saturday morning and then after Camden's morning nap we went on an adventure! We explored all these new dirt roads that we had never been on and made it safely to our destination - Beech Hill Farm! I don't know how I've lived in New Hampshire my entire life and never heard of this incredible farm! They serve the best ice cream around (with big servings - that's my kind of place!) and also have a bunch of animals to look at, a huge green house with beautiful plants and flowers and a nature trail. We had a blast showing Camden the animals. He's a bit tentative at this point, but it will be such a fun place to bring him in the future! Here are some pictures from our time at Beech Hill Farm...

Looking at the Shetland ponies - one of them was 45 years old!


Enjoying delicious ice cream and my little boy...doesn't get much better than that!


Scott's parents came up on Saturday night and babysat while Scott and I went out for a special birthday dinner to the New London Inn! We had a blast eating all the fancy food we wanted (thanks to two gift certificates we had) and actually having adult conversation rather than trying to keep Camden clean, quiet and happy like we usually do when we go out to eat! Sunday we had fun bringing Scott's parents to our church for the first time and just happened to stop at Beech Hill Farm for a little more ice cream on the way home! (That's right - twice in two days! That's how we roll around here!) After a much needed two hour nap for Scott, Camden and me, (we had had a bad teething night the night before), we all headed over to my parents house for a birthday party! My little niece, Clara, turned four on June 7th and so we had a joint family party to celebrate both of our birthdays. It was great to all be together with lots of laughter and delicious food.

Mr. Busy...

Don't be fooled...he's not really crawling here...

On the move...

Smelling the flowers...(it's adorable! He tries to sniff but doesn't really know how so he kind of just pants like a little puppy dog...so cute!)

Our beautiful cake that Nancy made!

All together!

Our crazy family...

The Birthday girls...
