So here is her Birthday post of what she did all birthday weekend to celebrate! She got her birthday highlights which was my last post! That evening she hung out with Sadie and Bridget! She went to the movies and then spent the night at Sadie's! I had been asking for months...weeks what she wanted to do for her birthday! She always replied no party just take me shopping! That's my kind of girl! Take the money you would spend on a party and spend on me! lol So that's just what we did!!!

All she really wanted was Sadie to drive her and take her to the best mall in town! The Fashion Show Mall to shop! Yay! The morning of she last minute invited her 2 other besties! Addie and Ainsley to come along and shop with her and Bestie Bridget was still in town visiting from Washington!

Penny obviously needs me there for my money! lol We had a freakn blast! Girls day out and these cute girls all have the best time together! 

We shopped our little hearts out! Ate dinner together at Maggiano's! It was delicious! She wore her cute Birthday sash all day and had so many people wish her Happy Birthday! She loved it! 

Even had to get birthday cupcakes from the Sprinkles vending machine! That was a party in itself! The vending machine sings to you when you get your cupcake! lol They were so yummy! We literally shopped until we dropped! We shut the mall  down! lol Penny had the best day with her besties shopping! It was so fun to see the girls pick clothes out and try them on for a mini fashion show in each store! lol The girls all built each other up! It was such a good vibe! She got so many cute new clothes for school! This is the 1st year that she will not have to wear a uniform! Yikes! Mama is not ready for that! lol but she is ready for big kid school.... public High School! :)

Where do I need to be and when....I'm so there! I never want the fun to end! lol So we were kicking off Penny's Birthday in style! The Beach Life!

So after complaining and honz complaining (which he was back in Vegas) there  was no other rooms avail mind you it's 10:45pm when we got checked in and settled into the no ac room! Ugh! Anyhow I made them bring fans to my room which helped a little but man was it hot! We got though the night and we are still to date trying to get a full refund! What a joke and such a hassle!

Checked out of the low end hotel! lol and headed to shop! We hit up the Rip Curl outlet which was freaking awesome! Then over to the outlet mall! You know I love to shop and especially when it's a good deal! Holy Moly! Practically Free! lol

Lucky Links Permanent Jewelry!

Also this Summer Fun wk 8 before our spontaneous trip to the beach Penny was trained and certified in doing permanent jewelry! I have always wanted permanent jewelry and I recently had a bracelet and anklet put on by my cousin Megan! My girls got them too!
