I'm Not 30, I'm 20-10

So it finally happened.  I turned...30.  Actually it hasn't been too bad.  Honestly I can't say I feel different.  Although, it is strange when I have to fill out a survey and I am no longer in the 25-29 age group.  Naturally there are those feelings of...I thought I would have accomplished more in my life by now, but hey I still done a lot of wonderful things.  I have a lot to proud of.  At least that is what I keep telling myself! 

Rather than the traditional birthday cake...my very hip mom had cupcakes instead.  Here are some pics...it looks like the cupcakes may cave in or completely melt.  After all, 30 candles is A LOT.  I still got them all in one breathe.  Okay, Cassidy and Lewie helped a little!

Check out that flame!  This is most certainly close to a fire hazard.

Disney On Ice

I had the chance to go with my niece, sister, and my parents to Disney On Ice.  It was so much fun.  We were of course running late because it was in Council Bluffs.  Grandpa turned right to Cassidy and said, don't step in this puddle of mud--naturally Cassidy decided she would step in the mud.  She left her shoe in the mud and then she was so confused as to how this happened.  So, I picked her up and we ran into the bathroom...what a mess.  Although once we got to our seats we had a blast.  We were pretty close to all the action and we got to see all the Disney favorites.  It was quite the show.  I have to say I wasn't expecting much, but it was really good.  Cassidy didn't take her eyes off the rink except to say...Is there going to be more?  She loved it!  Naturally being the unprepared auntie that I am I forgot my camera, so I just have some pics from by crackberry.  Now of course I keep my camera in my purse at all times! :) 

They had a part where all of the famous couples came out and "danced" together.  It was pretty cute.  Naturally Cassidy was naming off all of them and looking around at all the different couples.  Then of course she said, "Where is Sleeping Beauty?"  Oh crap, how did she notice that!  Naturally my sister and I thought fast...um, "She must be sleeping."  Thankfully that one worked.  She is only 4, so we can slip a few things by her!

So here are some pics from the event:


See that picture of Nemo in the bottom corner.  That was a Nemo hat being worn by a 40+ woman.  Seriously, I think those are for kids.  She had it on the entire show!
All sorts of Disney characters.  It was really fun to see all the couples.  Honestly, I had forgotten half of them!

Cassidy and mommy Ashley
She was very excited to eat her frozen ice drink.
The show ended with fireworks...I was pretty impressed with this little ice show.
