Happy Birthday To Me

Happy Birthday to Me. This year was a great birthday but different. Rachel is in Boise still and so she wasn't around for my birthday. She wasn't too sad though because she spent the day at Roaring Springs water park.

I started off the day with Jacob coming in to wish me a Happy Birthday. It was so cute and he was so excited to wish me one as well. Oh I guess Enoch wished me Happy Birthday at 6 AM when he left for work. After I got up we went to Jacob's baseball game and then spent the rest of the day tiding up a little and then watching a movie. I watched 27 dresses. Much more vulgar than the edited version I watched first. I still enjoyed it though.

Enoch came home early from work to wrap presents and stuff. We then just the four of us, Enoch, Jacob, Kaelen and I went to Texas Road House to eat. It was really good.

This year because Rachel was gone and I wasn't feeling like cake till after my race this weekend I said that I wanted ice cream instead. So to change things even more we all went to a movie. We saw "UP". It was very cute. Jacob loved it and Kaelen loved the balloons. He would point to them and say ball. Kaelen fell asleep during the movie and acutally stayed asleep even after we got home. The movie was longer than I thought and so we didn't get home till after 9. I still had to open presents too.

Well it was even weirder opening presents with just Enoch and Jacob. I don't know when the last time was it was that quiet on my birthday. Jacob was so fun though. He hid all my presents around the room and made me play 'hot and cold' to find them. He didn't know though that I already knew where they were. I being a good mom though looked around in odd places and made him laugh.


I got almost everything I asked for this year which was amazing and only because what I wanted was not cheap and yes not your normal gifts. I first opened a 24 count mini muffin tin. Yes I am a total homemaker if that is what I wanted for my birthday. Next I opened three new bread pans. I have one really nice one and wanted three more. Well I got them. I am very excited to be able to make bread and not have to borrow other peoples.



I then got an amazing shirt from Layers clothing that I have wanted for a long time. It is so cute. My next present and biggest was a bike trailer. I am so excited. I got a new bike a couple of years ago and have been able to use it really because I have no way of taking the kids around with me. Well now I do. We are going to use it a lot this summer. I want to bike to swim lessons and stuff. I was so excited that we set it up and put it together right a way.



I mentioned above that I didn't want a cake. Yes I didn't want one for the reason of cake right now does not seem great to me because of my race this weekend but also with not many of us in the house a cake would just sit their. So instead I asked for some yummy ice cream. We put a candle on it and Enoch and Jacob sung happy birthday to me. I still am not sure why Jacob stopped singing in the video. Maybe he felt that his Dad needed a solo.

For my birthday as well I got lots of phone calls and emails. It was really awesome. My favorite of course was from Rachel who called me twice and then also wanted to know about everything I got and was so excited when she heard what I got. We are actually going to celebrate my birthday again when Rachel gets home. We are going to go to Red Robins to eat and then have a cake and open my present from Rachel that she bought while in Boise. Rachel was sad to miss everything so I told her that we would celebrate it again later. I don't mind that one bit.

I had a really nice birthday this year so far (I get to have it again next week) I was spoiled from my whole family and I knew from friends and family that I was loved. I am grateful to everybody who made it special. I enjoyed getting another year older.
