My 38th...

Simply put was wonderful!!! Geromi surprised me the night before and came home with flowers, fun treats ( that he knows I love), a good read for work (in all my spare time, lol) and of course, wine and cheese!!!

Then on my Birthday I got to...WORK...

So, this is a shout out to the girls at work who made my night so freaking awesome!!! I was greeted with Jamba Juice, cheese cake, chocolate truffle cake and treated to Greek dinner. For having to be at work they made it A-OK. My very special primary's parents even had wine, chocolate and a Russian nesting doll for me (they are Russian). So nice!!!

************************************************

Next is my present from Gage... This is a 1x1 inch barbie box! Brenna doesnt understand that mommys presents done have to be wrapped and we were talking about it when Gage ran off. He came back holding this teeny-tiny present and said "Happy Burf-day mommy heres your pwesent!!!" He then opened it for me and screamed "I got woo roller skates!!!" Inside were 2 even smaller my little pony (the little ponys) skates. I swear I almost cried. It was the sweetest thing!

So, 38 is off to a rocking good start!!!

Cheer Party...

5 going on ???...

All glitzed out for the cheer party...

Mama's boy just needing a little photo attention...

Brenna went to a super fun cheerleader party where a REAL LIVE CHEERLEADER (Brenna speak) taught them 4 new cheers! She had a blast and to say I am over the moon excited with her new love for cheering would be an understatement.

For those of you who know me you know I would trip over myself dialing the phone if she showed any interest in gymnastics or cheer. But I cant push and be one of those moms...

So, I patiently wait...tick-tock!

Happy 4th of July '09...

A very fun swim party with a very serious swimmer...

Even Gage stayed in til prune-dom..



So, we had to bust out the goggles to fight the chlorine...



Ms. Amanda taking one for the team...She was the FUN mom...That is Riley on the right trying to get away. Can you believe she was an ex-25wkr??? Chunky, chatty little thing...and there is G's head. He was all over Ms. Amanda!

Ella, Amanda's lil girl, showing her excitement waiting for the fireworks...

And here they GO...

Ella and Brenna dont get to see each other nearly enough but everytime is just like old times...

And little man Gage hanging with the girls watching the 'works...


The ride home, in all her 4th of July gear, a sleepy princess...

And our rockstar, never giving it up for sleep, holding a cupcake he is saving for breakfast...



Geromi went home for his 20th high school reunion so he missed out on all the fun. I bet he is having his own fun reliving all those old high school tales.

Thanks Lacy and Keith for a GREAT party. We had a blast!

Wonder who stole my camera...

You thinking what I'm thinking...

Could this be thier BFF's...

Starting to think I know who it is...

That narrows it down even further...

Another G-man and its not me so that leaves...

Yep, sissy...our future photographer, right behind Chef, nurse, Dr., Mommy, etc... The list is growing daily!

For good measure (and for Aunt Dina, yes she takes pics like you Ding)...

And we will finish the shoot off with an abstract...
