It's true....I turned 30.

While Jack was turning 22 months, I was busy entering another decade & turned 30!

I had a wonderful birthday weekend full of love, good food, family, & pampering.
Thank you for all the texts, calls, & Facebook messages...it sure does make a girl feel special!

My parents came into town to celebrate with us & to help do some work around the house, too.  Tyler worked most of the weekend so it was great to have family in town and to make me feel special & spoiled.

Saturday morning we headed to the Franklin Farmer's Market. Being winter there weren't too many fruits & veggies, but it's always fun & was a beautiful day.  We grabbed lunch in downtown Franklin at Puckett's Boathouse and were able to enjoy the warm weather & sunshine outside.  

After Jack's nap & a quick change, Jack & I headed to Lucas' 3rd birthday party where he was in heaven playing with the train table at Shipwrecked.  He could play at that thing for hours.

We had wonderful family birthday dinner Saturday night & Tyler was able to be there.  Jack was pretty much well behaved in a nice setting so there was not much more I could ask for.

Sunday was the big 3-0 birthday and we celebrated with church, brunch, & I was able to get pampered with a pedicure & solo trip to Target while Jack napped.  We spent some more time outside and I really couldn't have pictured a better birthday night as we relaxed at home with a glamarous dinner of pizza and salad.

Monday, Jack went to MDO, while my dad started on his major project (in addition to lots of little ones) which was to paint our master bedroom. It was the only room that hadn't been painted & we were ready for a change.  (note: my dad has now painted every room in our house, except the dining room, living room, & kitchen which we had professionally done...thank you, dad!)  My mom and I were able to run around and do some shopping & exchanges sans Jack, which is so much easier.

My parents also babysat Monday night so Tyler & I could have a date night at CityHouse with a stop at the mall afterwards to finalize my birthday present. 

Did I mention how great my parents are?  Not only do they come into town & help work on the house, but they love to babysit & I was also able to get my hair done Tuesday, which was much needed.  I pretty much feel like a new person in her 30's with a pretty pedicure & new hair. :) 

Jack loves to help grandad when he's working on projects.  We kept the door closed most of the time so he wasn't tempted, but when my dad would let him in he'd go straight for the stools & peek out the window.  My dad tried to get him to sit on a stool & watch, but that lasted about 30 seconds. 

I'm so excited about what this next year of life will bring and know it will be one of the best yet.
