Jake Turns 30

It's official, Jake's an old man! Of course we had to celebrate, and we had an entire weekend to do so. Warning: there are way too many pictures of us in this post :)

I made cupcakes first thing in the morning and surprised Jake with them when I took him to lunch at Five Guys.

Doesn't he look happy??

I planned a fun evening for us and it was a surprise for Jake. So after he was done with work we drove to Scottsdale and went to Octane Raceway. We did one race and it was so much fun! I'm still really bummed I didn't get a picture of Jake on the track! After the race we headed over to CrackerJax and played some mini golf.

Here's Jake at his "hole in one" hole!

I got a hole in one too!

After Jake beat me pretty badly at mini golf, he hit the batting cages.

For dinner we went to La Hacienda. We've been there once before; it's in the perfect setting and it is so delicious! We got super lucky and overheard our waiter talking about fresh made churros for dessert and that there was only one order left so we stopped someone and reserved them for us. They were the best churros ever!

The next morning we headed over to Kneaders for breakfast.

That night we used the tickets my mom gave Jake for his birthday and went to the Phoenix Symphony.

We got all dressed up and had a great time :)

Happy Birthday Jake!

While Jake Was Away, We Played

It was time for Jake to spend a week in Michigan again, and I decided I needed some company. Lucky for me, my mom and my Kami (not a typo, she is my Kami) volunteered :)

We had an amazing week together soaking up the sun, shopping, touring, eating, and movie going! I didn't get very many pictures; that's how much fun we were having! But I did manage to get a few photos to share.

First item of business: pedicures!

I knew we needed to go to the botanical gardens and experience all of that wonderfulness at night, and we were not disappointed.

Simply the most amazing chocolate bar ever!

I cannot imagine a better way to spend my week than with two of my most favorite people! I love you both so much, please come back soon!
