Happy Birthday to me!!

This post will be broken up because my birthday was great in so many ways. First, we spent last night with my side of the family for all the September birthdays. My mom got me an awesome gift of something I have wanted and drooled over for a long time...a CRICUT!!!!! In the scrap booking world it is a big deal! Derek so sweetly asked my mom to make me a blanket(to be from him) in maroon and white for his high school pride. Go RAMS! Now I won't be freezing my butt off at the games!-love it.


I began my day with a great run/walk of a little over 4 miles. I am soo sore but hey, I made it. Then I went shopping with some birthday money and got my oh so wonderful flip flops. Seriously, I consider these my work shoes. I wear them EVERYWHERE! I am a busy mom and need easy shoes....anyway, I love them. I paid 30 bucks for them but they are worth every penny.

Then we loaded up the van and headed out to Poteet. I couldn't have been going to a better place for my birthday. They are so dear to me and I loved every minute of the day with them! Seeing everyone, skeet shooting, four wheeling, Jenna cooked a delicious dinner, Wii boxing, and just hanging out. One of my favorite things to do is hang out with friends. They are top of the list! The kids got to play in the tank, fish, play with the sprinkler on the trampoline, practice shooting with shot guns and play the wii. Good times, Good times.

My final present was from Aaron and the kids. He took me to a mysterious location. Once we got to 410 he had me blindfolded till we got there. I knew he had been working on this plan for weeks and I was dying to know what it was. He led me to his parents' house. He had his dad make me a hutch for the kitchen!!! Tim is a super talented carpenter!!! I was super blessed and now have the perfect place for all our wine and beer glasses and my cake supplies. !!!!

Thank you everyone for the blessings today. This is definitely the best birthday yet!
Love ya!
