Hello Sunshine

I am off to Disneyland today to celebrate my 26th birthday! I feel like a little kiddo all excited for a big trip to see Minnie and Mickey. 

Here is a picture of my big sister and I on one of our many trips to Disneyland over the years (pre little Frankie of course). How cute are our matching monogramed dresses?

Happy Birthday to the cutest, funniest, strongest, happiest, coziest, and most creative boy around. You can truly accomplish anything. I may be biased, but I just think Dougie Mann is the best and I feel so blessed to spend the rest of my life with this amazing boy. You were a “bundle of joy” and loved by so many since the day you arrived 28 years ago. I love you Husband!

I am very excited for this weekend begin where lots of good times are to be had! First off the cutest and bestest friend ever, Blair Socci, is having a little birthday celebration where some serious knee sliding is guaranteed to take place on the dance floor. Then Mr. Dougie Mann and I are off to Palm Springs to stay at the Parker and celebrate our one year anniversary. Oh baby I’m excited!

Mr.Frank Page Hurst, my Daddy, the one the only turns the big 60 today!! Let me tell you a little something about that dapper young man in the photo. When I walk into a room with my Dad I feel a sense of pride to be known as his daughter. I can’t wait to introduce all my friends to him, because I know, know matter what kind of of person they are they are they are going to love my Dad. He gets along and LOVES everybody and I mean everybody. I have never heard him say a negative word about anyone, a trait that I much admire. All the girls think he’s handsome and the men think he’s cool. His thick brown hair parted and combed perfectly to the side has been a topic of many conversations among young men. I have had complete strangers come up to me and tell me how amazing my father’s hair is. Really it is quite something to see. He is a man of all trades, he skis like a pro (he was a ski instructor back in the day), surfs, fishes, hunts, he’s a boater, golfer, and can grill a mean steak. I’ve only heard him say one curse word (and that was in the past year). He is an incredible dressed men, always classic, the staff at Ralph Lauren know him by name and come running the moment he steps in the store. He has had success in all walks of life. He’s a wonderful son, brother, husband, business man, father, and friend. It’s good to be Frank Hurst’s daughter, because what he is best at doing is making you feel loved. I know my Daddy loves me, oh yes I do. This girl will never have any Daddy issues I can guarantee that. We often catch my Dad just starring at us from across the dining room table and when eye contact is made he just gives a little smile and a hand cuped wave. He hugs and kisses us and tells us how cute we look all the time. I love him so much and am beyond honored to call him my Daddy. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you! 

Doesn’t this look heavenly? This is my kind of birthday party.

(Although I’m a day late on this post) Happy birthday to the best little brother there is!! Thanks for putting up with two big sisters who forced you into playing with barbies and putting on “performances” that required you dressing up like a girl. You may kill me for putting up this picture, but being the good sport you are I know you can appreciate the amazingness in this photo. I love you Frankie!

Happy Birthday to ME!! My hubby has been treating me like the ultimate birthday girl starting with cinnamon rolls, home made signs, and sheepskin rugs. I’m one lucky little 25 year old girl.

Happy Birthday Mama! My cute Grandma turns 87 today and is still as much a firecracker as ever. How cute does she look at our wedding?!
