Birthday and Mother's Day

The weekend before my birthday Mark, Breckan and I went out to dinner at Bonefish Grill to celebrate. I could not believe how well behaved Breckan was. What a champ!! He ate so much for dinner and was enjoying the atmosphere just as much as we were. It was nice to celebrate with my little family.
On my actual birthday I went out to dinner with a few of my friends at Peking Tokyo, a Hibachi place here in Coral Springs (Mark was on shift). Once again Breckan was a champ! I seriously think our son loves to be out and about vs. being at home. He is so much better behaved with all new surroundings and new things to observe.
Then on Friday we went out to the Marlin's game with a group of friends while Mark's Dad and sister watched our little guy. I don't actually think I watched 5 minutes of the game. I was more enjoying the company that we went with! Ahhhhh adult conversation...it is much needed at times! We had so much fun.
Saturday Mark was on shift and was doing a Fire Fighter open house/demonstration for the city of Hollywood. Breckan and I drove down and watched Daddy show everyone what he does for a living! I enjoyed seeing my Husband in full uniform...he looks soooo.....HOT!!! And I think Breckan liked it too. Mark came up to us after the demonstration and Breckan had a HUGE smile on his face when he saw that it was his Dad in that uniform!
Mother's day here in FL was beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was shining and the heat was blazing. After Breckan's morning nap, we headed down to Hollywood and ate a the "world renowned" burger joint, Le Tub for the first time. Overall, the burger was jucy and HUGE but the atmosphere wasn't for a baby Breckan's age. There were no high chairs and the wait for a burger was 45 minutes. Needless to say, Breckan was getting fussy by the time we received our food. Following our lunch we took a bike ride on the boardwalk in Hollywood. Unlike all the other beaches here if South Florida that I have been to, this beach is set up where the restaurants line the boardwalk and then the beach is right next to that boardwalk. Usually, A1A is always lining the beach so there isn't as much space to ride our bikes. It was wonderful! (Besides my funny tan! HEHE)
Later that day, we went out to dinner with Mark's family at Blue Moon Fish Co. We were so full from our burgers and Breckan was super fussy for missing his second nap so we decided to just order appetizers and bolt! It is very hard to enjoy dinner with a little fussy boy on our hands anyways! I ordered Crab cakes which were KILLER and Mark had the Lobster Bisque. YUM!
And, what is better than topping off the evening with a FREE cold stone ice cream for this Mommy! Yep, they were giving out free ice cream for Moms!
When we got home, Breckan was about ready for bed but we wanted to try to hold him off until his actual bed time. He absolutely LOVES the hose. We turned on the water and let him splash around naked. He seriously played for a half an hour. SO funny!

WHEW what a busy week, but a fun one at that!
