jealous???

The weather on Saturday was perfect, so we hit the beach in the 90 degree weather, it was so beautiful and the waves were huge and they crashed like thunder.... I love living here! except we got a lame parking ticket for backing into a space and not just pulling in like normal.

hockey game

Ben won tickets to the hockey game at work so we got to sit in the box seats, I always have so much fun when we get tickets from work because I get to meet people that Ben works with and hang in the  seats with them. 

My camera died so these are the only pictures I got, 

(me and ben being silly:)

Ben's Birthday day!

For Ben's Birthday he wanted to spend the day at the beach, so we did.  We had a great time it was a little chilly but not to bad.
                          Jackson had so much fun giving Ben his gifts I think he was more excited than Ben. 

                                And then this is what happens at the beach after you have caught to many rays.

                                         This is Ben and I he was totally asleep :) and I thought I was so so funny.

                                                      And the birthday cake.... German Chocolate Ben's favorite.

Happy Birthday Ben!
