Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Today was my birthday. Woo Hoo! =) I usually don't get to excited about getting a year older. But Steve and the kids are sure good about making me feel special on my birthdays. Steve took the day off work so we could spend the day together. When I got up this morning the kids were waiting to give me their presents. I got two bags of candy, Milky Ways dark chocolate and Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets with almonds. Yummy!!! Steve made my favorite breakfast of waffles with strawberries and cool whip on top. I asked the kids to make there beds really good for one of my presents. They came out a few minutes later and wanted me to go and look in my room. They not only made there beds the best they ever had they had gone into my room and made my bed. They did a pretty good job with it. When I was growing up we would ask my mom what she wanted for her birthday. She would always tell us she wanted a clean house. I don't know if we ever did that for her, but I now tell my kids that is what I want. It truly is the best gift ever, to have a clean house and I didn't have to do it!
Steve took me shopping for my birthday present this afternoon. I have wanted a jogging stroller since I had Jakob. I finally decided our old stroller wouldn't make it too much longer and it was time to get a new one. Steve had found one at Target for a pretty good deal so we went to pick it up. I love it! After that we then went to the Dinosaur park. It is amazing how the things we do to celebrate our birthday's change when we have kids. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun. They had decorated the park for Halloween, it was very festive. After the dinosaur park we went to the Olive Garden to eat. It was so yummy!!! We came home and the kids sang Happy Birthday to me and we had of course chocolate cake. Today was a very fun day and I'm grateful for my sweet little family who made me feel so loved.






Notice the stroller. It is so easy to push. We all had to take a turn pushing it.
