Another year older...

Yes, it's true, I got older yesterday. Like they say, it really doesn't matter how old you get after 21. It's just another birthday.

Anyways, it was a great day and having birthdays makes you realize how blessed you are each year. The day started off with Blaine surprising me with flowers and a card. I kept telling Emi that it was Mommy's birthday, but she kept saying back that it was her birthday. I guess once you have kids, your birthdays are never really yours until they understand that other people can have birthdays as well.

Then after we went to Red Robin for dinner because I refuse to cook on my birthday and since Blaine doesn't cook, then it means off to a restaurant. I am not a huge fan of Red Robin, but with two kids, I am all for the kid friendly restaurants.

Thank you for a great day and thanks again for all the birthday presents and birthday wishes from family and friends. I love you all!!!

The best gift... my kids. ;)


and now my favorite picture of the day...
This picture cracks me up because it shows a little of Brenden's crazy side.

Aika, Aika, Aika! Happy Birthday. CUTE kids. I love your little girls eye lashes. So adorable. So glad I found you. I have to admit that every time I sit and watch another Grey's Anatomy re-run I think of you. How have you been?! Oh BTW this is Leah (Getproof) Benson.

Happy Birthday! I am sad I missed all the action. I love that about Emi and Brenden's mad face that is hilarious.
