{Fabulous 32nd Birthday!}

I had a wonderful 32nd birthday! It started with snuggles in bed at 6 am from Owen. He wished me a happy birthday and then asked me, "Mom, does this mean you are a grandma now?" I guess in the eyes of a 5 year old, a 32 year old is OLD! He then went on to tell me, "I love you all the way to the moon and back, the earth and back, the mountains and back, and to the sun!" Thats a lot of Love!

My sweet husband surprised me with a dozen yellow roses and made the kids and I delicious french toast for breakfast. The kids then showered me with gifts! They each came up with their own gifts for me and I loved each and every one of them! Mya wrapped up her dolls pink blanket, 6 of her books from her book shelf, her salt and pepper shaker and pan from her kitchen, and her door sign that says, "Mya's Room" into a Captain America bag for me! She was very pleased with herself and I told her we would read all the books today together. Owen covered up a box of space bags that I had bought at Costco yesterday, with a blankie and gave it to me. I acted totally surprised and gushed over how much I need them. Ian wrote me a card and told me that he loves when i rub his back and that I am kind and a good mom! He also strung me a necklace out of ribbon and plastic rings and gave me $ .62! He believes getting money is the best, even if its just change! Drew had a little help, unknown to him, by me with a gift. He told Kenny that he wanted to give me a book and "50 bucks!" Kenny asked him where he was going to get the money and told him he could give it to me from his birthday stash. Drew didn't seem to eager about that and let it go. I told Kenny I had a book I bought for myself for Christmas and to give it to Drew to give to me. He did and Drew was smiling from ear to ear as I told him that the book, "Forget me Not," By Dieter Uchtdorf was a book that I had always wanted to read. I adore my little family so much. These thoughtful gifts mean more to me than any store bought gift. I am so blessed to have four amazing children and a husband who loves and respects me.

I received tons of cards, texts, phone calls, & facebook birthday wishes from friends and family. Then the goodies started piling in throughout the day!!!! The way to my heart is through my stomach & that means Chocolate!

Jessica made the biggest mint chocolate cookies that were to die for!!! Mint and chocolate are a favorite of mine. In the card she wrote that the cookies were "MINT" for me!

Girlfriends surprised me at Pizza Hut for lunch and brought cinnamon rolls, a platter full of chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting! I was in Heaven at this point! I love my friends!!!

Kenny came home from work and handed me a new i phone 5!!!! Its beautiful and I went and picked out a K-State purple case to protect it!

That evening I left Kenny with the kids and went to church to spend time with ladies. We had a western theme and danced the night away. We ate chili and cornbread, my stomach by this point was belly ache full! Which in my eyes, means my birthday was a success!

I even won an award for best dressed!

Friends from church

I came home and Kenny and I watched the movie, "What to expect when your expecting." It made me glad that my pregnancy days are in the past!

I felt so loved today, so thank you all for making me feel so special! I was given bubble bath and lotions and a gift card for a pedicure, so I am going to pamper myself again tomorrow!

I love being in my 30's and look forward to many more birthdays to come!

They say the cutest things.....

Mya, my little girl, said in her prayers last night, "Please help us to be strong and healthy like the Hulk!"

Owen almost ran straight into a woman as we entered a dark parking garage. As I told him to watch out, he quickly yelled, "Well she's all black!" Coincidentally she was African American! She was wearing a black dress, which is what he was referring too!

Owen told me today, "You are the best mom I ever had! I love you all the way up to Jesus!" He also loves kissing and told Kenny, "I just want to stay home from school and kiss mom all day!"

Drew lost a tooth at school when he bit into his apple. He felt the tooth inside his mouth as he was chewing and when I asked him about it, he said, "I didn't realize it was mine and I wondered if it was one of the workers!"

While at church, a teacher asked the kids what happened to Jesus right after he was baptized and brought up from the water. Ian enthusiastically raised his hand and said, "He asked for a towel!"

After a long struggle with my boys, to get them inside, bathed, and into bed, I yelled, "I am done, go to sleep!" Owen looked up at me and said, "Mommy I'm sorry you're sad, but the problem is that you don't beat up Drew and Ian. Just beat them up and I will be on your team!"

We are not a family who eats beans, so when Drew went to a friends house to play and eat dinner, he was hesitant to eat the burrito that had refried beans in it. When I picked him up he said to me, "Mom she put mud inside the burrito!"

Aunt Connie pleaded with Owen to shoot his daddy with the gun instead of her and his response, "No, he's the best daddy i've ever had!"

I begged the boys to quit fighting and Drew looked at me and said, "Its not Mothers Day anymore mom!"

Owen got kicked in his "man hood" and said, "Oh, I hurt my Tenders!"

Drew asked this morning, "Mom in 2011 can we get a cat?"

Everytime I feed Mya prunes, Owen comes up to me and says, "Me like chocolate mom!" I give him a bite and his face turns to total disgust.

Owen ran up to me after wrestling the dogs and said, "Me see Cassie's boobies!"

While I was nursing Mya, Drew walked in and said, "Is she done drinking from your boob?" I replied, "No and it is called a breast, thats the proper way to say it." He looked at me puzzled and said, "No thats the Spanish word for it."

Kenny opened the fridge and said, "Something in here stinks." Ian looked at him and said, "Dad, sometimes I toot over there!"

Last night as the boys were saying good night to Mya, Drew looked up at me and said, "Mom, Mya has a boy haircut!"

Drew was reminding me about how when we saw macaws in Hawaii, that one of the macaws was chewing on a woman's hair. He said, about the macaw, "Thats not very nice, it's not choosing the right."

My favorite word Drew and Ian used to say when they were toddlers was, Laddie- for water. I thought it was such a cute word. Owen comes to the fridge and points his little finger and says, "Wa-Wa" for water. So cute!

Last night Kenny went in on a call to deliver a goat and Ian came into our bed. He climbed in and snuggled up beside me, he usually snuggles into Kenny. I asked him why he was snuggling with me and he said, "I can snuggle you because daddy isn't here mom!" He is such a daddy's boy.

Ian is such a daddy's boy. The other night Kenny had to go to the clinic and Ian was sobbing for him for a good twenty minutes because he wanted to go too. When I asked him why he was so upset he replied, "I just want my daddy, he is my favorite boy!"

Birthday parties celebrated in California are usually BIG! There is always a huge jumper, pinata, food for the whole family, and tons of presents. Well we went to a party last night and the boys spent 2 hrs. jumping in a big jumper. On our way home we saw another party going on that had an even bigger jumper with a slide attached. Ian asked, "Can we go to that party too?" I replied, "We don't even know who those people are. " His response, "Well lets just go ask them their names."

As we prepared to go to the Glenwood Springs pool in Colorado with Kenny's four sisters Drew impatiently said, "Come on girls, you're taking too long!" Kenny told him, "Get used to it, this is what men do, wait for girls to get ready."

Much to my dismay I found black ink all over our white sheets on our bed. I of course went straight to Ian and asked very sternly, "Did you write on my sheets with a pen?" With an innocent look he replied, "I was just trying to write my name."

Drew was watching me as I divided my hair into sections with clips to straighten it. He looked up at me and said, "Wow, you look beautiful!" Then when I was completely done with my hair he said, "You're a cute little mommy!"

Ian was dipping his finger in Kenny's contact solution and then touching his eye. I asked him what he was doing and he replied, "Just putting my eyes in mom!"
