A Perfect Birthday

Yesterday I turned 36 years old! Man that sounds so old and I do NOT feel that old, it must be Todd and the kids that keep me feeling young.

For my birthday I wanted to go on a bike ride and I really wanted Todd to come and who could turn down a birthday request like that. So we loaded our bikes up and headed over to Traci's to ride up Southfork. And this is what we saw...



And here we are....


Hans, Traci and Josie (who obviously did not go on the ride), Kami, Me, Todd, and Leigh Anne

It was a little overcast (we started around 10:30 am) and by the time we got in the canyon and started up the mountain the rain came. It rained on us the entire 4 1/2 miles up (lightning and thunder included) then stopped sometime on our way down. The road was wet and there were lots of leaves on the ground, so it was a little scary and I didn't go fast coming down. Luckily, there were no casualties. Todd rocked the house for his first ride up Southfork! Even with the rain and wind the ride was awesome and we earned the right to a yummy b-day dinner at Cafe Rio.

Then after dinner Todd and I went to Chili's for desert (I really didn't want a whole b-day cake around the house) and we had molten lava cake...yummy!!!



Then we went to see "The Dark Knight". I realize I am way behind the times, but a newborn will do that to you.

It was such a great b-day! I decided I must really like road biking because I got 2 bike jersey's, bike shorts, a bike jacket, a bike pump and a bike ride for my b-day.

AND....I got a sweet new camera just for blogging!!! That's right a small camera that I can take with me everywhere and don't need a college degree to operate (maybe now my pictures will be in focus). Here is the camera Todd bought me in Crimson red.
