One Year Wiser... But that's it.

 I'm not allowed to mention who's birthday it was recently. Or how old he turned. In fact, we weren't even allowed to celebrate. I obeyed these requests with respect... see for yourself...

Just us have dessert with a few friends - clearly not a celebration.

Sticky rice with mangos. A Thai delicacy. A unique dessert - but not for celebration of course.

A test drive on a newly remodeled motorcycle. But obviously not for any sort of celebration.

As you can see, Jake and I had a fun filled weekend just like any other weekend with no mention of a birthday and no celebrating of any kind....

The End of Summer...

The hardest part about Labor Day is saying goodbye to the long days, warm nights, and outdoor adventures of summer... Jake and I made sure we experienced every last minute of the long weekend with a few of our favorite things...

1. slurpees and a midnight walk...

2. cooking our favorite breakfast together - eggs in a basket...

3. 7 Peaks and the Boomerang. This ride gets both of us screaming every time...

4. expensive, greasy amusement park food on a park bench people watching...

5. an outdoor dinner with family to celebrate mom's birthday...

6. A run around and around and around Sugarhouse Park with the boy that pushes my pace...

7. take-out and a late night movie with friends...

8. one last camping trip at our favorite place... Logan Canyon...

9. miniature golf in the rain followed by a warm breakfast and hot chocolate...

and...

10. an afternoon relaxing with a nap, strawberries dipped in homemade fudge sauce, and laughing until we were crying (when you're already laughing pretty hard and then Jake gets the hiccups so he starts squeaking between laughs there is no stopping the hysteria).

I'm putting this one on the list for the best Labor Day weekend yet...
