If I post about an event that happened within the month, I feel like I'm doing pretty good. Here's a few pics from my birthday weekend. Troy and I got a 4! star hotel (for $70 bucks!) in downtown Portland. It was a lot of fun to walk around and find fun restuarants. I didn't take many pictures, I think I don't take many pics anymore since it stresses me out to think of all the pictures I have stuck on my computer that I need to order prints for, then get them into albums. So I don't take pictures, which isn't good. Anyway, the hotel was super nice. Everything was beautiful. We drank Martenelli's in bed and watched movies. For breakfast we went to a cute funky little place called Pudding On The Rice. I guess they used to be in Utah. Anyway, I had an awesome Crepe (above) with vanilla rice pudding and fresh strawberries. It was SOOOO goooood. Mmmm.
There were some neat old churches downtown. It was a little cloudy and sprinkly, but not too cold.
Here's my birthday card wall. Audrey felt the heart added some much needed 'umph' to it. Kate's card was cute with cut out letters. Everyone enjoyed reading it!
So these pictures are very unorganized, but you get the point, another cool old church.
Friday night we went to the temple and did sealings, then afterwards I chose Outback Steakhouse for dinner. I was craving a fat steak. We also got as Michael Scott would say an "awesome blossom, extra on the awesome."
Post temple, checking into the hotel, Zoolander style.
And there's the steak and potatoes. My plate definenently could've used some veggies. But it was my birthday.
Mom sent me these beautiful flowers from Hawaii. Who knew you could do that? They arrived packaged all nice and secure. They smell good. I'm glad they are still alive in our rainy, cold environment!
Dev had fun with basketball the last few months. Next year he is too old to do the city league, so who knows if he'll go out for the 7th (gulp) grade team.
This ice cream is to die for. I highly recommend.
Cameron did this quite a while ago, probably Sept. I thought it was very creative, maybe a little morbid? he was fasincated with the twin towers going down. He loves to create stuff. I should do a post just on that! I have more pics, but must go take a kid somewhere and pick up another kiddo!

Looks like a good birthday, Brooke! Those flowers look amazing!
fun pictures!!! the food looked so yummy! I'm glad you guys got a little get a way for your bday. Cam's creation is very creative!
I remember pudding on the rice, i went there once when I lived in Provo. Also...I am familiar with Tillamook mudslide :) It is amazing. Glad you had a fun bday!
Brooke, what a fun birthday weekend! Cam's creation is pretty cool, did he draw those planes? I'm impressed....in a morbid sort of way...=) I know what you mean with the pictures, I have literally 10 years of pictures on my computer. I recently just made a "2011" album and ordered it from Shutterfly and it turned out great! And it was faster than scrapbooking, too. So I'm not printing pictures anymore, just doing that. Now I'm working on 2010....eventually I'll get all the way back to 2001!!!
I love the old churches in Portland. Very pretty. The steak and mashed potatoes makes my mouth water, and glad the orchids are doing well. Is Dev #13? He looks pretty good. Also, Cam has some impressive skills - such details.
