no idea what to title this post...

I don't even know where to begin... Last month I went home to Seattle for Spring Break. My family always plans the funnest things to do and it's nice catching up with my three nieces and seeing how much they've grown.

Above: The most amazing mango frozen yogurt with pineapple, my niece's pants falling down as she hopped down the street, and of course the pedicure with my mom and sister Carrie.


Above: The most adorable two year old in the world.


Above: We always do too much antique shopping and drag the girls along - they were dying at this point.

Above and Below: Rock Art - don't we look exactly the same?!

Below: Then we took a train down to Portland for the weekend to shop.



Below: Okay, so now this stuff is from my birthday which was March 19th. We went to the Russian Tea Room for tea service a few days before my birthday (the same day we did the St. Patrick's Day stuff). Then on my actual birthday Ben made me an amazing breakfast in bed, a homemade german chocolate cake, and took me to see Mary Poppins.



Below: At school my parent's sent this balloon + cookie bouquet. Every year that I've taught they've sent something like flowers, balloons, carmel apples from Rocky Mountain, etc. Then my students went crazy and bought me a TON of gum (because I chew it all the dang time), two cakes, flowers, and balloons. So cute. It was a pretty dang fine birthday.
