My B-Day

Yes, my big day has come and gone and I'm officially 28! How does time fly so quickly! I seriously feel like I am still in high school... well, except feeling like I've been hit w/ a MAC truck every morning because of my kids that sleep so great! Joel was a huge sweet heart and gave me a surprise party on Sunday. I thought something was up as Joel suddenly wanted to clean and vacuum the house, which he normally is very laid back about. My friends Kristen & Matt, Betsy & Seth, Mary & Kent, Jen & Mike, and Nicole & Sean all snuck into my house and surprised me while I was in the kitchen with Gianluca. It was overwhelming and exciting at the same time. I think that is the first time I've blushed in awhile.
Of course a few minutes into the party, crying emerges from the Dude's bedroom and low and behold Cameron (Betsy's son) is bleeding from his head. The culprit... Gianluca of course. I asked him after the party why he threw the toy and he said "Cam threw a toy at me so I threw one at him." AAAAHHHHHH BOYS ARE CRAZY!!! I told him "Hello, it's never okay to through a toy or anything at anyone... unless it's a pillow." But after all of that settled down, we ate lots of chips and B-day cake (which all of the kids helped me blow out the candles) and had a good time. THANKS JOEL FOR BEING SO THOUGHTFUL AND A GREAT HUBBY!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Monday (my actual B-Day) I didn't do much of anything except go crazy w/ an overly grumpy 3 year old. I did manage to take the kids to Kohl's and buy a cute b-day outfit. But other than that, not much. I did end up going out with my great friends Kristin and Betsy to P.F. Changs and had dinner. I was also tempted w/ a free apple martini, but w/stood temptation and asked the nice waiter for a coke instead. It was so fun to let lose w/ my girlfriends. They have made the move here so great! I don't know what I'd do w/out you guys!!!!
My great friend Mary and I will also be going out to dinner soon as my b-day present from her. She is terrific and just jumps in and helps. She is my long lost Idaho friend and I am soooo happy we met up here in Texas after all these years!
P.S. Joel is going through one of his growing out his beard stages and yes it is extremely annoying!!! But I love him anyways!
