It's been quite the week around here! We've had something going on almost every night in honor of my birthday - hahahaha. I've had a great time but I'm ready for some down time and things to get back to normal.

Chad 100% COMPLETELY surprised me and took me to Hibachi only to see 9 of our good friends there waiting for us. I thought we were just going to dinner with the Schroder's "Neighbors" for my birthday dinner, which isn't anything out of the norm... So they pick us up, the 4 of us drive to Hibachi and when we walk in Jess stepped aside for Chad to let them know we were there for our reservation. Hhhmmm...suspicion #1... since Jess supposedly had taken care of the arrangements. Then the hostess asks how many are in our party and Chad says "14"..... Uuuhhhhh what's going on!!! I then look over to see everyone there waiting for us. The thought sometimes crosses my mind that he might be doing something for my birthday but this time I HAD NO IDEA! It was awesome!!! I had the best night ever!! We had an amazing dinner and then a few of us headed over to Robbie T's for a bit.
* Yes, Chad got me a birthday tiara to wear, LOL *

* My good friend Katie who took Tyler's pictures a few weeks back printed and framed one of them for my birthday - And yes it made both Chad and I cry - It's sooooo precious!! *

* The tricks started!! And our guy, Jeremy, had quite a few too. He was HILARIOUS!! *

* I wasn't so sure about the shrimp flying at my face... *

* ... but I caught it!!! Well on try #2 that is... *

* Getting ready for Sake Bombs... thanks to Dave & Jackie :) *

On my actual birthday just Chad and I went to Arnold Palmer's. It was sooooooo yummy!! We ordered they're homemade potato chips with this crazy chunky bleu cheese dip for our appetizer and it was to die for! I'm not a big plain potato chip fan, nor a bleu cheese fan at all, but this was so tasty!! We were pretty tired from the previous night so we just came home after dinner to cuddle and watch the olympics. The games this year have been amazing!! We've had such a good time watching them almost every night!

A day of nothing!! Chad actually worked like 13 hours on Wednesday and I had great intentions of making a nice, yummy dinner for him to come home to but that didn't quite work out. I went to the store earlier in the day to get everything I needed for Chicken Piccata. Well by the time I fed Tyler his dinner, gave him a bath and got him down, I was too exhausted to do anything else. I called Chad and had him pick up a pizza from Mario's down the street and bring it home... Oh well... it was just one of those nights.

Thursday night we went to The Right Bank with my mom, dad and grandma for my birthday dinner with them. It was a nice, yummy place! I guess it's been in Rancho Mirage for years and I've never heard of it. It's a nicer, older crowd, kind of quiet atmosphere so when we walked in with a baby that had hardly napped all day I was a little nervous. He did just fine though and we all took turns passing him around to walk around the restaurant and distract him.

The Malestic's took us out to Maki Maki on Friday for my birthday. Gosh, it has been a BUSY week!! Grandma and Leo came with us also. Tyler actually slept in his stroller the first 30-45 minutes we were there. He again hardly napped that day (good 'ol teething) but I was so glad that he stayed asleep for the first part of dinner. Once he was up he was a happy boy! We went over to Ben & Jerry's afterwards for dessert and Tyler had his first bite of ice cream - Mmmmmm!!
* You can almost see his second top tooth coming through *
