Cort's Birthday

Cort's 32nd birthday was this past Friday. We were both lucky that we had institute days at school, so we were able to do lunch together, which we normally can't do. Later that night we dropped Mia off at my Mom's, Cort played softball, and then we had a nice dinner together. Saturday after Cort worked detention, we went to the Arboretum (we are making sure to use that membership!!) to see the big bug exhibit they have. Mia had been super-crabby that day and I was in desperate need of getting out of the house or going crazy. :) The bugs were very cool and I highly recommend seeing them if you have a chance!

Mia's favorite bug-the ladybug

Mia was pointing to the giant dragonfly in the water
And pretending to flap her "wings" like a dragonfly
Mia was so funny, she had to seriously smell every single tulip there was

We were obviously by the flowers for a long time

Here is my little girl who gets upset when there is a drop of applesauce on her hand playing in the dirt
