It's My Birthday - 42

I can't believe I turned 42 today. I remember turning 21 yesterday. My how fast time doubles. Everyone has been so great to me today. I've had tons of phone calls and texts and the kids have all done so much for me. Jess brought me home starbucks this morning along with cakes and cards. Brooke put a page on my computer with pictures of all my kids. Mason made me some wonderful art projects. Alexia and Dalton washed the breakfast dishes for me. The kids all sang Happy Birthday to me and then we had cake. Alexia, knowing her dads tradition, decided to shove my face in the cake. I have to say, it was pretty funny.

I don't like having my picture taken but thought I would share this with you. That's icing all over my nose.

What a great day so far and it's only 12:45. Thank you all so much for making this such a memorable day.

Santa Time

I am so lucky to have such great children. Brett came home for the weekend and we had so much going on that he took the kids and got their pictures taken with Santa for me. Check them out.

Brooke was watching Jaylee and her brothers for a few hours so they tagged along and got their pictures taken too. What a fine looking group of kids.

Santa's Workshop

Today I ventured out to take the kids to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop. After arriving we found out that Santa is at the North Pole and would not be back til later tonight. We were a little disappointed but the kids still had lots of fun. We took our own pictures in his seat and by his workshop.

We found frosty hanging out so we took pictures with him...

They had lots of fun things for the kids to do. Coloring, shooting targets, driving race cars and big monster trucks. They had loads of fun.

We found the reindeer behind the workshop so we took some pictures with them:

We had a great time even if we were expecting to tell Santa what we wanted this year for Christmas. We left special notes for him just in case we miss him again.
