Once I hit 21, birthdays haven't been a huge deal to me. Having just moved from Japan, this birthday was one of the last ones on my mind. The past few birthdays have been quite un-eventful to say the least. Daddy Step and I have only spent a few together in the past 5 years and we were very excited that this year we would be together. I didn't expect much thanks to the craziness our lives have been lately, but it ended being a wonderful birthday.
The morning was spent having breakfast with my boys while Daddy Step was at work for a few hours. Once he got home I was surprised with two birthday cards. One from my boys with lots of love for Mommy. The other was from Daddy Step with my birthday gift- tickets to see Trace Atkins in Fredericksburg in August! We've gone 4 years without country concerts- and they are our favorite kind of date. Our relationship all started with a trip to a Brooks and Dunn/Alan Jackson Concert years ago. Thanks love for a wonderful gift. Can't wait to go!
We then headed to Fredericksburg to go to a summer fun event going on. We got to meet two famous guys. Who did we meet? Buzz Lightyear and Elmo! Now that's a birthday if you ask me. Z Step got to dance with Buzz for a second and eat lots of popcorn.

| All he wanted was that popcorn. Sorry Buzz. He's more of a Woody fan anyway |
After all the fun, we headed home to play. Z Step got to play in the sprinkler while Mommy and Daddy prepped Dinner.
 |
| He loved playing in the sprinkler! We have a special one on the way- can't wait for it to come! |
For dinner, I picked a recipe I found online for salmon kebabs. Two things I love the most- Salmon and a grill.
 |
| We don't have our wine glasses from Oki yet so I was drinking my wine with a kid's cup. I threw some frozen strawberries and grapes in it to keep it cold and to eat afterwards. |
 |
| I didn't need a cake but Z Step kept asking me for one. He helped sing and blow the candles out. Thanks Z! |
 |
| Salmon kebabs with a spring mix salad with tomatoes and mozzarella. Perfect birthday dinner! |
Thanks for a wonderful birthday, Daddy Step! And my boys. Love you guys!
