The Big 3-1

It's true, I'm spoiled. I've officially had four, no five, birthday celebrations and some friends are planning on taking me out tomorrow, so I guess that makes six celebrations.
Celebration #1 with Rachel, Joe, Kara, Mom, Dad, Jeff, Hannah and Kate
Celebration #2 with Jenna (and soon to be Josiah? Jedidiah? Esau?), Clint, Amy, Mom, Dad, Jeff (taking picture), Hannah and Kate
Celebration #3 Jeff arranged for babysitters for the girls and then took me out to dinner and a comedy show Friday night. We had a great, great time!
Celebration #4 Today at playgroup the other moms and kids sang happy birthday and I blew out a candle on a brownie bite...the kids were totally wound up and on the way home Hannah told me I had a great party!

Celebration #5 Involved Jeff being super husband/dad/man. Jeff got up at 5am this morning to bake me a cake, wrap my present and then he let me sleep in (which meant a late start to his very hectic day). Tonight he got home from work and cooked and cleaned dinner, bathed the kids (so I can blog) and we plan on watching the last finale of LOST!

While putting the candles with the girls Jeff was hiliarious about how old I am (even though he will always be older!). Here are some comments he made tonight:

Hannah, I hate to break it to you but we have to use almost all of these candles. That's just how old your mom is.

Let's see if I can get these all lit in three matches.




He topped off his comments with, "That's a lot of smoke...Yowzers! Someone turn a fan on!"

Jeff has a great way of both spoiling and keeping things real at the same time! I love my husband and appreciate all the things he coordinated and did to make my birthday so special. Thank you Jeff for all you do!! I love you!!

Well, happy belated birthday, my friend! Wish I could have been there to celebrate you too. Don't you love a man who does dishes and bath time?! Keep serving each other with love and laughter, great example to your girls!

Happy Birthday (late)! Sounds like it was a great one. I'm glad for you that you're surrounded by those who love and know you. Sweet.

Happy Birthday! I'm so sad I wasn't there to be celebration #7. So glad you're getting so many celebrations, you're worth it! And thanks for sharing the Jeff-comments. Man, I miss that guy.
