Happy Birthday To Me

So, as most know, the 18th was my birthday.

I'm 29. not sure how I feel about it,

but I figure I should feel fine because I'm happy.

I'm super happy to be married to

my hubby, and I love my 2 beautiful kids.

I guess I'll just do what I can to make my

last year of the 20's a great one!

Okay..blah, blah, blah.

My birthday was a great day.

I woke up earlier then the kids (rarely happens)

and rolled over to squint :) at the clock.

Upon rolling over I saw that Greg

was still in bed. What?! He's always gone before 6am

and it was 6:30! I asked him if he knew what

time it was and if he forgot to set his alarm??

He just sleepily smiled and said "surprise".

:) ...he stayed home from work to be here for

my birthday! Seriously, how sweet!

He did still work from home

so he was in the office most of the day,

but because he was here he was able to

make me breakfast :). Also, when I put Olivia

down for her nap and had Luke on his

daily dose of the wii Greg gently directed me to the

door and told me to go shopping! Rock on!

I was gone for more than 2 hours and had

a wonderful time walking

around stores and trying

things on just by myself.

Thanks babe!!

A couple of weeks before my birthday

I told Greg that I wanted a make-over

for my bday. :) hehe. And thats exactly

what I got. I got a hair cut (a free one

thanks to my dear friend KeLe), new make-up,

about 5-6 hours of shopping time with my

super great friend Erin, and lots of new clothes

...including 2 new church outfits, SUPER cute shoes,

2 pairs of shorts, and a bunch of diff. tops!

I also received some beautiful jewlery from

Greg's mom, and some i-tunes gift cards

from Greg's siblings...thank you so much!!!

Thank you all who called...I was able to talk to

a bunch of people, and I also had some

great messages on my phone

and facebook page! Thanks!

Yeah for birthdays!

(and to answer Tam's question...no, I didn't make myself

a fondant cake--I was randomly wanting a black forest

cake, so thats what we made) :)

And last...

in honor of my birthday, but most importantly

in honor of Luke being 100% potty/poop trained

YEAH!!! (he's been fully trained now for

more than a month!)

we spent the evening of my birthday at.....

drum roll please.....

Chuck E. Cheese's!

We had a really great time.

Luke loved it (almost as much as Greg, hehe)

and Olivia and I also had a fantastic time.

What a great little family outing!

We played lots of games....first picture

at top shows one of them (can't switch pics around

once I get them on here??)

oh, and of course Luke won!
