Remember when your birthday was coming up and you would get so excited and couldnt wait for the big day to get here?! Sometimes it was hard to sleep the night before your birthday cause the excitement was just too much! it was your special day. You could choose if you wanted to go to school or stay home! You picked what was for dinner. You got phone calls and presents all day! Oh, and who could forget having your birthday party at McDonalds? I loved my birthday WHEN I WAS YOUNG!!!
What happened to those days?
A birthday now is just another day! Another day of laundry, errands, changing diapers, and balancing the check book! This year I kind of forgot it was my birthday until Chasey sent me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY text the morning of! Life isnt as much fun when YOUR OLD!
However; I do have a wonderful husband and family who make birthdays FUN! Even though it was just a normal day it was still my birthday! The thing about my family is that your birthday is more like a birthweek. Im not complaining... who doesnt want a week devoted to them?
The day before my sister in laws, my mom, and step mom took me out to lunch. My step mom took me before and let me pick out the cutest watch, and headwrap! My sister in law Katie made me a very chic apron ( Ill have to post pictures of it- its too cute!). On my actual birthday Me and Ry went about our day just like any other day! I did get some great phone calls from all my family and friends, and some AWESOME renditions of "Happy Birthday!" I was drying my hair and looked up and saw a balloon with flowers and candy tied to it in the living room. Chase had snuck in and left it there for me! How sweet! That night my mom made me a homemade carrot cake with double cream cheese frosting. We all ( My mom, dad, and Karen) went to Mat and Katies and had cake and ice- cream. I got some more GREAT gifts from my mom and my sis in law Summer.... thanks EVERYONE!!! It was such a fun night! Friday day I got a package in the mail from one of my mom in laws. I love getting mail! dina sent me The Big Bang Theory, a Target gift card and some pictures! What a Wonderful package! That night Chase took me out to a movie and a fun dinner! We have been on a tight budget after all our vacations, so it was a low key birthday, but SUPER fun! We had FREE movie tickets, so we went and saw Date Night. Then we got a pizza and ate it on the back of the truck at the Park. I know you are thinking, " What a High School date!" Let me just say that it was one of the funnest nights! I have learned that you can be creative when your money in limited, and have alot more fun!!!
My cute little birthday surprise!
I dont know why this picture is in here, but I dont know how to take it off. You can see my cute new watch though!

YUMMMMMMM! My mom makes a mean carrot cake.
The best family picture we could get!
Ry got in the tub at Aunt Katies. Katie only has boys, which explains the dino jammies!
Our pizza at the park date!!!
Chase has pizza in his mouth, but its the only picture we took.
Chase thought he had a blanket in the car, but all that was in there was Ry's butterfly blanket!
