Today is my birthday...

and it was a great day, it's been a great week. I've pampered myself and my mom has helped. Earlier in the week I went and got my eyebrows waxed, to save money I have been tweezing my eyebrows for over a year, A YEAR!!!! It was great to have someone do them for me. Yesterday I went and got a new hairdo and my mom scheduled and paid for me to get a manicure and pedicure. It's been a long time for both of those too. Feels great and yet wierd to have my fingernails painted and I love a great pedicure, hot pink is my color of choice and I just love how they look. Thanks mom!!!!

The kids slept at my mom's house with Norris and Brenna, they built a huge fort in the living room and they all slept in it. What a great Uncle and Auntie! I got to sleep in on my birthday. I got up at about 8:40am, but I didn't get out of bed until 9:00am. Brenna, Sierra and Ashton made me breakfast at my mom's house and brought it down to me. I had homemade waffles made from scratch and they were delicious. Thanks so much to the 3 of you!!! Love you tons!!!


Then we headed to the beach! I love the beach and was excited to spend my birthday there. Sophi came with her boys and mom-in-law (Charlene), and sis-in-law (Trisha) who were visiting for the week. Norris and Brenna came with Brenna's mom and dad. Marshall and James came and Jake came with me and the kids. We all had a relaxing and play filled day at the beach! :)



Jake was throwing the football with James. He threw it with me a little bit too! :)

These guys had a great rally going, they made it to 103!

This was my favorite part of the beach birthday, Sierra out in the water with Norris!


Norris is surfing...

and then he asked Sierra if she wanted to try!

She is SURFING!!! She is so cute!!!







Ashton told me "I want to surf with Uncle Norris!"Here he goes...




Let's do it again...


There's another cute surfer in the water...






What a great day!!! When we got home the kids went to my mom's and Jake and I went and had sushi, it's half off at GEISHO and it was so so yummy!!!! Went back to mom's and had some freshly baked cookies and played a game that Brenna taught us with mom, Chris, Norris, Brenna, Sierra, Jake, me, James and Marshall and later Norris' friends, Scott C. and Adam R., came and joined us. We were all in a circle passing signs, really fun!!!! We laughed alot, I love those fun games. Came home and put kids to bed and watched "Mr. Woodcock." I had a great birthday and I told Jake, I'm not a year older, I'm a year wiser. :)
