This weekend was busy.
Ridiculously busy.
Here’s what happened….
Be aware….
I took a million photos this weekend.
FRIDAY:
My mom had a zumba party
for her 50th birthday.
It was a lot of fun.
Afterward I had tacos and gelato with
James and Ash.
SATURDAY:
I spent the day with my mom and her friend Pam.
Pam was visiting from California.
So we showed her around Portland.
The sun was out and so were people everywhere.
{Japanese Gardens.}
Then we went to Bunk Sandwiches.
…as seen on “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives“
We all split 3 different sandwiches…
AND a Meyer lemon cupcake :).
I saved my ginger ale bottle to use as a vase.
Then we headed over to a cute little shop:
Is that not the most clever name ever??
Super pretty little treasures hiding in every nook and cranny.
I finally got this lovely card I’ve been wanting.
FOR-Eh-VER!
I think I’m going to frame it.
Oh wait…just did.
I also found a cute place for my sweet
embroidery that Cole sent me.
(It’s the one with the “L”)
Thanks Cole!
SUNDAY:
Hosted my mom’s 50th birthday lunch.
It was fun…and I came up with cute decor.
BUT…this post is already super long.
So I’ll just do another post about it.
Oh…and here are some random
photos I took around town….
Happy Monday.
No exclamation point.
It is Monday afterall.
But hope it’s good anyway.

I love that last picture that you posted. Your mom for real had a zumba party for her birthday? That is awesome. I totally want to try a zumba class.
Beautiful pictures! Looks like you had an awesome weekend. 🙂 I did, too — Saturday I went to see “Wicked” for the very first time, which I loved, and Sunday was a stay-at-home day for me and boyf, and we cuddled in between me working like a mad person trying to grade essays before the end of term. Have a great Monday!
