happy 30th....

seriously can there be such a thing as happy & 30 in the same sentence? For some I suppose. For me it is just another day. But it did come on the beach in San Diego with a bunch of family around. And I got to sit around and read (and no one bothered me). I got donuts for breakfast and stuffed salmon for dinner (it was delish), what could be better than that!

... maybe a fancy dessert with rose petals on top!

Birthday Day!

It started early. Since the other day when I got up at 5 to clean the pool, I just can't seem to sleep past the little alarm in my head. Oh well. The older boys had spent the night at Hugh's to celebrate his birthday but, I have to say that was a pretty good present for me too!! Anyway, I made myself some blueberry muffins & had some OJ. At 7:30 I ran over to Karen's and she gave me the best hair cut I've ever had. Seriously if I can style it the way she did, some of you might not recognize me!! I tried to take a pic, but it just doesn't do it justice. We didn't do much during the day, Wade came home from work and we locked our selves in our room and chatted (yes that's all we did) and I took the kids to the park and we went by the library. We had Jack in the Box for lunch. I used to hate the place but they have a chipotle chicken sandwich that I LOVE, and I can get the kids 2 taco's for a buck!! And then we all had wonderful naps!! We went out for dinner with Wade's Family. We went to Macyo's. It is usually great there but, our server was a little past her prime. Heck when you are shoveling in the chips and salsa and there is no drink to quench the thirst things can get a little hectic especially if your 6, 4 or 2!! Oh well the food was still good. And I love hanging with Wade's Family. Thanks for the gifts!!

Oh yea on the way to dinner Wade gave me my present. Since I only told him the day before, what I wanted he did pretty good. It was a pink camo hair straightener. Yes it's a CHI and it better last till I die!! (at least that's what he's thinking I'm sure!!) Thanks Karen for getting it ASAP, I think Wade owes you big time!!

All in all it was a pretty good B-Day. Thanks to all who called and all those who sent gifts!!

Happy Birthday To ME!

Its my 29th Birthday today.

Last night my wonderful Girlie friends took me to get Dessert. They are great gals, who I look up to and respect probably more than any I've ever known.


So they asked me what I am looking forward to in my 29th year. And I didnt have much of an answer. I really had to think about it, and none of them will be life changing but here are some of the things I hope will happen this year, before I turn the dreaded 30!


In no particular order:
(When I was 16 I probably would have died if this was my list)


I look forward to seeing Garth walk
I look forward to Gavin telling me what he wants with words, not grunts.
I look forward to Jack learning new and wonderful things in 1st grade.
I look forward to Jasper becoming a little more obedient and thoughtful. (It is already starting to happen!!)
I look forward to having new flooring in our home, even if its just a couple rooms.
I look forward to having my in-laws come home. I miss them. I'll be honest I miss the free meals, I miss that they LIKE to watch my kids & I miss teasing my Father in Law!!
I look forward to game nights
I look forward to Hawaii (09) (who's in)
I look forward to spending time with my family
I look forward to not being pregnant or nursing
