This past weekend we celebrated my 26th birthday along with Valentine's Day. We started the celebrating on Saturday. I went out to breakfast with some friends, and had a blast sitting and chatting about babies, our hubbies almost being in their 4th yr of dental school, Cleveland winters, and not wanting to make new friends after we all move away. Then I came home to find Justin mopping the kitchen floor and cleaning other areas of the house that were in need. I have a good husband. Then I left Justin home with the boys again so I could head to the gym. Then later, Justin and Jack left to run some errands and came back with a beautiful bouquet of roses and P.F. Chang's takeout. Did I mention that I have a good husband?? This is one of our favorite restaurants and it's nice to eat it at home and not worry about taking our kids out. Then Spencer and Suzy showed up to put our boys down while we went and saw the Blind Side at the theater. Such a good movie!!! We had so much fun going out and tried to think of the last time we actually went on a date... alone. With no friends, no kiddos, just us. We still can't think of the last time. Needless to say it was long over due and we really enjoyed ourselves.
My actual birthday was on Sunday and was filled with meetings, church and a baptism although I did make Justin a yummy breakfast that he didn't really get to eat because my alarm didn't go off and he had to run to his first meeting. It's nice that we were able to celebrate the day before. We talked to my family on speaker phone and my dad gave Justin a hard time about not having a birthday cake. So for family night tonight, Jack and Justin were busy baking away and came up with this yummy strawberry cake, complete with sprinkles. They totally redeemed themselves :) It was super yummy! Plus my birthday dragged on for 3 days in a row. I think we should do it that way every year.
Jack made us relight the candles about 25 times so he could blow them out again.
Love the action shot :)
I think after the next couple birthdays I am just going to stop having them. I really, really don't want to turn 30. I still feel like I'm 18 and according to the woman at the grocery store, I still look like it. She asked Justin and I if Jack was our little brother. This was when I was like 9 months pregnant with Anderson. I kindly responded and pointed to my huge pregnant belly, "No, that would be our son and I have one more on the way!" She looked a little surprised. Oh well, I guess when I really do start getting older that looking young will be a good thing... right?
Thanks for a great birthday!!
I've had a couple requests to put a picture of my birthday present. I have been wanting new bedding for a long time and I found this on clearance at Target. I had been eying it for a while but we had decided it was too much and didn't quite fit into the budget. But luckily my birthday came around and it went on clearance just in time. Love it!!!
