Nick's Birthday

Yesterday was my middle son's birthday! Happy 6th Birthday Nicky! We Love You! Because I have had a debilitating headache for a week now, I wasn't up to celebrating in my normal fashion, so it was a laid back birthday for him. I woke up and made him breakfast in bed, which he preferred not to eat because it would get crumbs in his bed...God bless him! So he ate at the coffee table in the family room, while watching TV. He got to play video games all morning until my wonderful sister came and picked up the boys and took them to her house for a few hours. While there, they jumped on the tramp, played video games and made a birthday cake for Nicky. Rob and I ended up going over there around 6 and Cindy made tacos made Nick's day extra special. My family is great. Thanks for all your help this past week. I have not been very much help with the headache that I have had, so it is wonderful that you can all pull things together and make my kids feel special!

Nicky was so excited to be 6. He kept saying to me, "Mom, it's great that I was 5, but now I am 6!" He just likes that number, for some reason.

My Hubby's Birthday

Well...Yesterday was my Fabulous Husband's birthday! Wow! I forgot to post about it! Big shocker!



Happy Birthday Honey! I Love You more every day! Pretty amazing for 10 years, huh?

Here are some reasons why I love him so

1. He supports my desire to go to church, praise God, and go to Bible Study.

2. He is my sounding pad. He always knows what to say to cheer me up. He fixes things for me verbally when I need and if I just want him to listen, he will do that too!

3. He gives GREAT back rubs. I never have to pay for a massage, because he is just as good, if not better.

4. He works hard for our family so that I am more able to take care of the little things. He is a strong worker and has a lot of respect at work!

5. He is a great dad and coach. Our boys adore him!

6. He is very laid back. My sister has said in the past, "If he were any more laid back, he'd be dead"

7. He keeps our yard perfect. I love staring out into our front yard because it is so beautiful.

8. He is such a handyman! If he doesn't know how to do something, he will ask!

9. He is very organized! Something I need to learn from him!

10. He never gets mad at me for playing on the computer all day.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Nolan

Today is my baby's 4th Birthday!

Here is how bad I am! I am dropping him off at Pam's early, so I can go buy some gifts for him! I have no idea what to do for his birthday. I have only really had 1 birthday party for him since he was born! At least that birthday was fun because he had some friends there at Peter Piper Pizza! But today is probably going to be just a normal day for him, except he will have pizza for dinner, even though he requested cookies for dinner. I hope he doesn't hate me when he gets older.

Happy Birthday Nolan! We love you lots!

More Birthdays posted late!

Last week was the week for birthdays!

My nephew, Matthew, turned 12 last week. Happy Birthday Matthew! I hope you had a great day!

My sister, Cindy, and my sister-in-law, Nancy, also had birthdays last week. Both were on Saturday. I was the first one to wish my sister a happy birthday...Which is always important for me. She had a packed day, as usual. I hope it was a great day for you Cindy! I Love you!



We had a birthday party for Nancy and her friend Wesley, at Wesley's house. It was a great time by all...Of course until Nolan had an accident and we had no other diapers. Thankfully we were able to put some of Wesley's step-daughter's shorts on Nolan...It was pretty silly looking...But back to happy thoughts!~ We were able to stay a bit longer at the party. It was cold that night for Arizona in October! The boys were all wearing shorts, but their little hands were freezing! It is always so wonderful to see Nancy, and we were so happy to be able to celebrate her birthday with her! We love you!

Happy Birthday Brenda

So I forget to post my family's birthdays so easily, but I could never forget to post a SPECIAL Birthday sendout to Brenda, my dear friend...One who forces me to blog, even though I have a pretty mundane life compared to her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDA!

I really hope you have a great day! I am so blessed to have you in my life! I just wish Jenna was here to make one of her beautiful cakes for you!

Birthdays!

I am so bad at remembering birthdays! My dad had a 75th birthday 5 days before my Mother-in-Law, but I forgot to post! Happy very Belated Birthday Dad!



My brother had a birthday on Monday. I never forget how old he is because he is the same age as Rob...44 this year! Happy Birthday David!


I should probably post my nephew's birthday wishes now, because I will forget, more than likely, and he is turning into an adult! Scary thought! I remember him being born 7 week premature, at 3 lbs 8 oz. He was a tiny thing! He was in the hospital for 3 weeks. I went down to see him after I got off work at 11:30 at night. He was the first nephew born, so he was pretty special to this 19 year old! Happy Early Birthday Doug!

If I don't remember to post a Birthday wish for you in my post, please forgive me. I am really bad about birthdays!

Happy 75th Birthday Jan!

Today is my Favorite Mother-in-Law's 75th Birthday! We had a surprise birthday party for her. All 7 of her sons were there and her sister, Toots, who will be saying good-bye to her husband of 50+ years any day now and put him in hospice the day before, came from Tucson. We had a huge waterslide in the back yard that the kiddos got to play on and one of Jan's favorite things in the whole world, Karaoke, was also there!

The party was catered by someone Greg (Rob's oldest brother) knew and it was so good! I have never tasted catering this good before!

Rob's middle brother, Ken, proposed to his girlfriend during the party.

The party was a great hit, and Jan had the time of her life!

Happy Birthday Mom! We Love You!
