i asked paisley if i could take her home with me and she said yes.

but then her beautiful mom reminded her of her pajama party

and so she said i could take her little brother instead.

surprise birthday party/camp out

i came home the other day to a clue from my husband on my front door. 

i followed the clues all over rexburg giddy outside my mind.

i ended up at this gorgeous place with a pavilion all decked out in gold decorations, 3 gold cakes, and all my friends waiting for me.

its my "golden birthday". (22 on the 22nd if any of you dont know what that is.)

and i was totally surprised which never happens.

my husband did so good.

he also brought all our stuff to camp out there.

we slept in our squareback and cooked breakfast over the fire in the morning.

while we were laying in the squareback we could hear the light sprinkling of rain 

and see the stars out of our back window. 

so dreamy. 

hands down best birthday ever.
