This weekend my sister, Nicole, turned 17. Just typing that, I am still thinking to myself, wow. She is 17 already. Holy Moly! Time sure does fly by. I have found myself looking at her over the past couple days, and she just looks older to me. She is really growing up. Next year she is going to be 18, a real life grown up. It is just so crazy to me. It just seems like yesterday she was a little baby, and I now she has her first job, and has all these plans and goals for her future. She is really turning into an amazing young woman. I am so proud to be her big sister. So Happy Birthday Nicole! I hope you had a great Birthday Weekend!!

My sister and I are 9 years apart, and yet we are constantly bridging that age gap like it doesn't even exist or matter. I am so thankful for her support and love as my not only my sister, but friend. I love her sense of humor, and that she is consistently cracking me up. I love how we have Sister Dates, and inside jokes, and that she has really become my partner in crime, in every great way possible! I love you so much Nicole! I would not trade you for the world, and my life wouldn't be the same or complete without in it as my sister. <333
I am so grateful for my work for working with me on my schedule for the weekend, so I was able to spend the whole weekend celebrating with my sister, and our family. Thank you so much guys; I really am fortunate enough to work with such amazing people, whom I not only can call my co-workers, but friends as well.
Saturday: Day Two of Nicole's Birthday Weekend!
Saturday (May 31st) was day one of two of my sisters birthday weekend. Day one being her actual birthday. I got off of work at 3p.m. and after work my Mom, Sister and I headed down to Voodoo Tattoo where the amazing Brandon Henry (he usually works at The Piercing Shop but he was there while the normal piercing guy was out of town) pierced my sisters belly button. Yup, that is what she wanted for her birthday. Actually, she has been nagging everyone about it for a year, and we finally got it done! She was so excited. My Mom was just there to pay, as soon as he started, she walked out of the room. I was there to be the moral support. I was holding her hand and taking pictures the whole time. At first though, she was like "I got this", but right before he was going to put the needle in she got nervous and needed that support. I wish I would have gotten a picture of her face at the very moment she got pierced, it was priceless. She went from fine to bright red and mouth open as wide as it could go in a matter of seconds.
When we got home the kids had did a little birthday party decorating at the house, and dinner was ready to eat. On the menu for the night was whatever Nicole wanted, which included some of her fave foods: Ribs, watermelon, pickles, and her all time fave potato salad. The only sad part of the whole day was that my Brother J.J could not be there, as he had to work, but he bought her a Google Chromecast... So now all three of us LaFon kids have one haha!
After dinner it was time for cards & presents!!! She got a aloofa on a stick, an Ed hardy bag, a candle, among-st other things.. and of course the aforementioned belly button piercing.
And of course I couldn't forget to take selfies with the fam bam (mostly with Puppy Bite) before the party was over.
Nicole left a little bit after the presents were opened to hang out with her co-workers/friends who wanted to take her out for her birthday. They went to Pole Position, which is an indoor go carting warehouse. She said she had a lot of fun, and they ended up going to Inn-N-Out and Fremont street afterwards. We didn't do cake because, while Nicole likes to make cakes, she doesn't like to eat them. Crazy right?
That brings us to Sunday. Day 2 of Nicole's Birthday Weekend!
It also happened to be the first day of June!
Since Nicole went out with her friends Saturday Night, we had made tentative plans to go see Neighbors at the Red Rock Hotel and Casino on Sunday. We just did not know what time, and money was potentially an issue, but we ended up making it work anyway. We ended up going at 4:50 which of course made it not a matinee, so it was super expensive, but it was worth it to have a Birthday Sister Date with Nicole!
I took a few selfies before we left for the movie. I thought I looked pretty cute! Meanwhile Nicole had hijacked my cat Zoey and was taking instagram selfies with her as well.
We got to the theater, got our tickets, got concessions (popcorn, pretzel, nachos, icee, and cherry coke), then went and saw the movie, which was freaking hilarious! I seriously almost peed my pants through out the whole movie and I was actually crying from laughing so hard at a few points. If you have not seen the movie yet, I highly suggest it! When we got inside the theater the previews had already started thankfully. I hate having to go through like twenty minutes worth of previews just to get to the movie I came to watch. Although this time most of the previews were not half bad. Saw a few that I will probably go back to see when they are released in the theaters like 22 Jump Street and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here is the trailer for Neighbors just to give you a little taste of what we saw!
Sorry, was in the movie theatere so I took my flash off so the pics are hard to see.. But its pix of our food and a couple of sister selfies!
So when we got in the car our Mom informed us that our neighbor was going out of town and was going to bring us over brownies.. and we were like brownie, what a beautiful word lol...
and here is where Nicole decided to get creative with her "birthday cake" because she doesn't like cake. She put a candle in one of the trays of brownies lol. and while my Dad was talking outside to neighbor my Mom and I sung Nicole Happy Birthday! it was pretty hilarious! And the brownies were delicious. They were just moist and melted in your mouth. We had two trays of them and they are already all gone lol... So that says something..
I also got a few cute pics of Turtle Man playing with his train set. He is obsessed with it right now!
What a weekend it was. Once again I feel like I need a day off from my day off! lol! I feel like I have been going, and, going, and going since Turtles birthday a week ago and have not stopped since. I think I need a vacation lol.
How was everyone else's weekend? Did any of you guys do anything fun??

Peace & Love
