Pretty sweet birthday

When Jon turned 30, we celebrated by going to Hawaii. We hiked for hours to Kilauea. See the silvery stuff just to the right behind us? That's active lava flowing. It was AMAZING. Certainly in my top 10 life experiences.

Here's how we celebrated my birthday last night:

Laura's birthday


I am pretty much made to be a boy mom. Nate and I tore up that track (Alex was more reserved until he got in and loved it), then we all played video games. I'd still love to take the boys to see active lava flowing one day but for right now, this was the best birthday I could imagine.

I also love this photo because it is a good reminder of just how small the boys really are. Lately I've felt sad about how fast the time is passing but this picture reminds me we still have a lot of years together.

Looks and sounds like an awesome birthday. You know, it's funny how things change over time. When you are younger it's all about going out and party to till you drop and being all adventurous and crazy and now it is more about intimate and simple celebrations with your family. I love that I have a wild past BUT my life now? I wouldn't want it any other way.
