Happy Birthday to me!!!

Yes, it's true, I am now one year closer to the big 3-0... sigh... oh how it sucks getting older!! Yet even with the impending 3-0 looming on the horizon, I had a fantastic birthday! Will and I started off the day attending swimming class with our friends, where I discovered that Will had gotten pretty darn good at swimming and I was able to remove one of his floats! We then came home and Will gifted me a 3 hour and 15 minute nap... thank you little man!! After his nap we headed over to Spring's house to hang out with McKenzie, Spring, Evan, and Mindy. Being the wonderful friends that they are, they made me cupcakes and gave me beautiful flowers and a card~~you guys are awesome!! Will and I had a great time playing, and also had a great time playing in the leaves that Steve raked for the kids (I'm going to have to steal some of Spring's pictures since I was on the phone with Aaron for most of the leaf playing). After our fun with friends, we headed back to the house to have some birthday dinner with Grammy and Pappy! I really missed not having Aaron around today, but I do have to say my family and friends did such a great job of helping me celebrate... thanks for a great birthday everyone!! I can't wait to celebrate again with my husband when he gets home from England~~ sweet, two birthday celebrations!

My birthday cupcake... Will inhaled the whole thing about three second after this picture was taken

McKenzie and Will enjoying some chocolate... Evan wasn't so sure about his

Mindy teaching the kids how to play the Elefun game... it took three adults to figure out how to set this thing up...

Look Mom I caught one!

Yes, this is Mindy pushing my son away while he's trying to catch butterflies... apparently Mindy has a competitive nature we didn't know about :)

**Editor's note... alright alright Mindy was only joking with Will, but I still think the picture is hysterical Mindy!! You know I love ya!! **

What Evan really wants to say about his mom... "Don't ask me, I just live with her"

How did I get under here guys??

The kids trudging through the leaves

For me?

Throwing some leaves

Spring has a much better picture of the leaf throwing, but I thought I'd post this one until I can grab a good one from her... the kids were thrilled with all the leaves falling on their heads!
