It's My Birthday!!

I'm old...er  today. A whoppin 23 years! I'm proud of it. I don't think I will be too disappointed until I hit 40, that will be rough.

Today has been fabulous & it's not even over yet. My husband remembered my birthday, which is always a good thing (for him more-so than me).

He told me, "Happy birthday, ya old fart" when he woke up. Thanks honey.

Then he watched the kiddos while my mama took me shoppin for the morning & we went out for breakfast & coffee as well. It was nice & I found some great deals at some discount shops! (Mostly for the boys, but still exciting!)

I received my freebie of 3 Atkin's bars in the mail. 

 

We then went to Papa's house for ice cream cake, my favorite! Forgetting all about that diet I'm on today (What diet??)

 

 

Hubby also got a card for me with gummy bears & twizzlers from the kids.

My mama & papa got me a really sweet card with a couple even sweeter giftcards! Yahoo! Me loves giftcards.

Noah got me a little stuffed puppy that barks...but then he took it back after I opened it. Ha!

Now me & the hubs are home just hanging out until dinner time rolls around, then we're hittin the big city of B-man for some dinner out, I'm thinkin Chili's. Yuuuum!

<3 my family & my friends. I got about a million happy birthday's on Facebook, makes me feel famous! 

Thanks everyone!!

Happy birthday my baby boy!

I cannot believe you're 4 years old today.

Wow.

I remember when you were first born, you have always been a pistol, a challenge.
But that only makes the memories greater.
How can I forget going 11 days overdue because you were too stubborn to come out?
You waited until 2 hrs before the induction!
How can I ever forget your crying for 6 months straight & the Dr's telling me it was colic?
But I knew better.

You have always been my stubborn boy, but I believe it will only benefit you one day.
You will be persistent, strong, & confident. You are one of a kind.

1st birthday

I miss you bein so little. You never have been a cuddly bug, you are too busy exploring, studying, learning & being the independent guy you are.


Wow we look so young here! Christmas '07.









2nd birthday...you can get a jist of his personality here! Hehe!








And from this mornin, his birthday (from my phone because I can't upload from my cam!)

With his brand new Incredibles costume & "Dash" hat. He was so thrilled. Said, "I've been wishin for this for a long time!" So sweet. It takes alot to get him excited about something!

Even though you exasperate your mama, I love you dearly. It's the only thing that keeps me goin every day. I hope you know that, sweetie. Love you so very much & I'm glad you had a happy birthday!

I'm not lame, I promise!

Is lame even a cool word anymore? That makes me feel old even having to ask if something is cool anymore. Like I'm 60 or something.

Oh well, anyway...I promise I'm not lame. I don't know when or how I will be uploading pictures to my blog unless they are done by webcam or mobile because my USB adapter is broke on my camera and now my computer has decided to cramp my style & let the memory card port thingy break! What is UP with that? I'm sad.

A few updates....

The cake balls are absolutely divine! I think it might be my new traditional "holiday" treat. It sure was a pain in the butt to make those, lemme tell you!! Tooooo time consuming, which is why I will only do it for the holidays! I mean, who needs time around the holidays, right?

The cake for Chris' birthday....NOT so great. um, yeah. It tasted yummy, yes. After all, it was only an instant cake mix. Decoration to it was frighteningly pathetic. I've never done such a bad job! Trying to do an Incredibles logo didn't work out in my favor. I didn't know that the cheapy food coloring wouldn't be able to turn my icing red! So it was pink. Then I wasn't able to find a black "gel" to line the edges so I bought a squeeze package of "cookie icing" figuring it would be my easiest bet. Not so much. All the colors blended together, everything goo'ed all over. Yuck, not pretty. No one will be seeing pics of that anytime soon!! However, I did take a picture for memories...

Chris had a great lil 4th birthday party! The day wasn't so good leading UP to the party but whatever. I'm over it now. Maybe I need a couple more Valium & then I'll be completely over it. *shudder* He LOVES the Incredibles (And boy they are hard to find!!) but my husband & I & nana & papa all were able to find him some random Incredibles things. He got the DVD, a book, a personalized shirt, stickers, and a bunch of the figurines from my mom. (We found the figurines for .5 cents at a yard sale! And I mean .5 for like 8 of them! He was psyched!) I found an Incredibles costume just like in the movie for $1 at a yard sale! We are frugal, yes. I also got him 6 more Pixar Cars cars to add to his collection, he has a ton of those things. I think I may just love them more than he does...

I also have a review & giveaway coming up so stay tuned! It's gonna be a good one!

Cake balls & more cake...

Yum. Cake balls.

Actually, I've never had 'em but don't they sound yummy??

I found em on the net & I'm attempting them tonight...waiting for them to freeze so I can coat em.

I'll let you know how it tastes!!

Sorry I haven't been posting much, worked my 7th day today. Last day tomorrow before a day off.

Gotta bake again (where is this gonna fit in my schedule??) before Tues for Chris' bday cake.

This is the cake I'm gonna aim for...


If I can even make it look halfway decent, I'll be okay with that. I'm kind of a perfectionist though so I might rip out my hair somewhere between decorating it....

Totally stressing about finances lately. Something drastic has to change in our lives but we're not sure what's best yet. Eek....not good. I just wish my hubby could graduate already & get a good job!!!

Also.....

Check out my friend, Jenn @ Peace.Love.Mommy's blog giveaway, a super cute gift pack from Marriott International! Ends 8/8


Anyway, I'm off to finish my cake balls. I'll update when I'm done & let ya know just how yummy in your tummy they are! Have a great Monday tomorrow!



(Boy was this a randomly interesting post or what??...)
