Meghan's Birthday and S'mores Day

Well, I had a great birthday this year! I've never taken the day off of work because I figure, what's the point? But invariably I get to work and wonder the whole day why the heck I'm there and why I didn't just take the day off and plant my butt on the couch or something. Then the next year my birthday comes around and, back to work I go haha. BUT this year was different. Three coworkers had asked me to complete their foursome for the Ancestry golf tournament that just happened to fall on my birthday. 

I tell you what, spending the day golfing was a much better choice than going to work!

We went to Wasatch Mountain golf course in Midway and it was amazing! The course is set beautifully on a hill overlooking Midway and the fall colors were in full bloom.

My group, L-R: Chris, Jeff, and Shane

We played best ball which I've decided I'm definitely a fan of. It makes it go faster and not as obvious or frustrating if you're not good! I definitely need to work on my putting and chipping, but my drives were awesome! Seriously, most of my drives were perfectly straight (I just need to get some muscles so I can hit it harder haha). It must have been the tees Nolan helped me pick out the night before.

We finished golfing at about 3:30 and I wasn't about to drive down to Provo for less than 2 hours of work. Plus it was my birthday so forget that. Instead I went to the outlets in Park City and went shopping ☺

I got home just after Justin who met me in the stairwell coming down as I was coming up. He was out of breath and asked, "What are you doing here?!" Haha, I think I ruined his plans by getting home a little early.

He was super sweet and got me a kitchen cart that I've been wanting. The problem was, he couldn't remember which one I wanted so he got one that was about 4x bigger and heavier and about 6x the price haha! He was out of breath from lugging it up the stairs! But hey, the fact that he would even get it for me because he thought I wanted it was super sweet!

He also got me Downton Abbey season 5 and a BYU water bottle that I wanted for hockey. Almost better than the gifts though, was his wrapping job. A much larger than necessary gift bag and "tissue paper" in the form of grocery bags. Love him! ☺

We didn't really get to celebrate that night because we had our last Thursday night softball game of the season. Worth it because we won the league! We had even moved up a division!

PTM came and watched Nolan for us cause he's the best!

Saturday was General Conference and, as you can see, Nolan really enjoys the MoTab.

He also made a pretty good writing table until he started wriggling, which was after about 2 seconds.

Out for a walk enjoying the fall weather.

After the second session we finally went to dinner for my birthday at Red Robin. I sure love this boy!

Nolan tried some shoes on for the first time and I'm not sure how he felt about them. He was more wobbly than usual standing up and at one point he was kicking his feet against the ground like he was trying to get them off.

Justin got a little huff from me at the end for messing up my video with silly questions ♥

As usual Nolan was a total charmer. I have to admit, I kind of love the attention he gets. He's just so cute and always gets comments on his awesome hair. We always see people pointing and whispering or they just flat out come up and tell us how cute he is! 

He loved the oreo shake!

After dinner we headed to the store to get the fixin's for our annual S'mores night. Justin and I met on October 3rd, 2011 over a bonfire. Justin offered me a s'more that I politely declined (Justin says 'rejected'). Since we got married we have decided that it would be a fun family tradition to have s'mores every October 3rd. I mean, who doesn't love s'mores?!

Also, I can't get over Nolan's face in the pic on the right haha.

Nolan definitely wanted in on the s'mores action!

Back to birthday celebrations. 

My friend Lis and I are October 1st birthday buddies (which works out since I kind of miss sharing a birthday ☺) so we got together at CPK to celebrate. Nolan of course was the life of the party. Look at him ham it up for the camera!

Thanks so much to every one of my family members who called or sent cards. I feel so loved and love you all so much!!

And lastly, I can't let a birthday pass without giving a shout out to my favorite twin brother! I love you Preston and hope you had a great birthday!!
