Traveling with a toddler.

So this weekend Luke and I will be flying to Oregon for a family reunion on my moms side of the family. It is a short flight so I am hoping all will go well. Luke is really into planes right now so I know he will love the airport. Mom and dad will be going with us so I will have help, Thank God! I will report back on how it went later on.

We got back yesterday about 8:30 p.m. He did great on the flight to Portland. He didn't quite know what to think of all the new people he met. Napping was interesting. It was usually a few minutes here and there while we were in the car. Now, let's talk about the flight back. First, mommy was cranky because stupid people shouldn't be allowed in airports. I also just wanted to get home. Then our plane was late. Luke was so tired on the flight home that all he wanted to do was move around. We has some turbulence so everyone was told to stay in there seat. I had to hold him down until he finally fell asleep. Of course that included a lot of crying and screaming. The man sitting in front of us was thoroughly enjoying it. It is just a good think we don't do this very often.

In the doghouse!

How cute is this! Luke likes to kick Cargo out of his kennel and then he plays in it. Children are soooooo easily amused.

Like a kid in a candy store!

I couldn't wait to take Ryan on the surprise 30th birthday trip that I planned for him. I had been planning this since January and I thought June would never get here. We left on Friday, June 13th and flew into Louisville, KY. We then had to drive about a hour to Frenchlick, IN. We stayed in the Frenchlick Resort, which has been around since the late 1800s. It was hot and humid but we had a great weekend. Saturday was the day I took Ryan and surprised him by signing him up to do a World Class Driving event. He was able to drive 5 sports cars, that we would only be able to dream about. The least expensive one was $130,000.


The first car was a Corvette Callaway:










The next was a Audi R8








Then the Maserati, this one was brand new off the lot the night before we drove it (and my favorite)






Then the Ferrari 599, because of the cost of this car, I was not able to ride in it with Ryan. One of the staff had to be in it for liability reasons.






Then the Lamborghini Galardo (I have to admit that this one was the most fun to go fast in!)




The rest of the weekend was great also. We golfed and played in the casino a little. I think it was a perfect all around weekend.

In my mommy's shoes!

This would make any father proud!

30th Birthday Pictures

Leave it to Carrie to get me the pictures so fast. Here are just a few......
I really don't drink that much.....My poker friends must think I need to a little more.

My 30th Birthday!

Can I tell everyone what a fabulous husband I have?! My birthday was May 7 and I was having a little bit of a hard time with turning 30. So on my birthday we went to dinner and the regular stuff. Ryan gave me a card and I thought that was it. The saturday following he took me golfing, which was fun. While we were at the golf course we got a call from his mother, who was watching Luke for us, and she said we had forgotten to leave the car seat. After golfing we ran back to their house and SURPRISE, all my friends and family were there. I could not believe it. The first thing I thought was "I need a shower". That party made entering into the 30's better that I could ever imagined. I can't begin to tell you what that did for me. Following the party was a limosine ride to meet friends for drinks and then we stayed at the Anniversary Inn. Sunday went took in a movie and went to the Parade of Homes. I have never had a better birthday.

To all those who attended and to all those who helped with the party, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. It makes me realize what a great family and group of friends that I have. One can only be blessed to have such a close group of people around me. I LOVE YOU ALL.

I don't have any pictures as of yet, but some will follow.

Again I LOVE YOU ALL
