birthdays.

yep, everyone has them.  if anyone out there knows how to stop them (while continuing to LIVE, lol) please let me know, k?!?!  so....i had another one.  i usually don't want to talk about them and this came on shortly after i turned 30.  for some reason this year i was in a totally great mood and felt great on my birthday....turning 35 wasn't all that bad. hm.

i had breakfast in bed.....served by the cutest little server guy eva!  i was greeted with orange juice and breakfast wraps (which in our house consists of; eggs, sausage, velveeta & soft flour shells).  as the day seemed to fly by i was surrounded by family and treated to dinner at my fav-o-rite steakhouse for a meal i couldn't even eat HALF of. lol  i was gifted cards, money and this...

now i gotta figure it out. lol  umm, i was told it holds movies too.  oh, hubby topped my day off with a cake from dairy queen....mmmmm....icecream cake. :)

i also wanted badly to get a family photo shoot in (nothing too great but something recent that we all look appropriately dressed at the same time) that didn't happen.  i did manage to get a photo of my kiddos the day before though...

THIS is what i live for.  THIS is why i am a mother.  THIS is what makes me smile daily.  THIS is what gives me gray hair. lol  THIS is why i was put on earth.  THIS is why i take photos.  THIS is why i scrapbook.  THIS is why i don't buy things for myself.   THIS is why i am always thinking of the future.

i could go on but i figure i would lose you sooner or later. ;)  if you're a mom then you can totally relate....if not....maybe you can atleast tell that i am very loving. hee.
