Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Just so you know, there is less than six months until Christmas.....yes, I can always keep track of that because of my birthday!  And I always know it is close to my birthday because the fireflies come out and the fireworks stands do too!  This year my birthday was busy!  I had two doctors appointments, once again trying to be aggressive about figuring out my crazy health issues.  The kids also had appointments.  My dad was so sweet!  He called and told me he needed chocolate frosting to go with the chocolate cake he made me for my birthday.  Savannah helped to frost it......

 In the afternoon, there was some down time and I sat and watched my dad and the girls play "monster" on the trampoline.  The squealing and laughter was so enjoyable!

 We had a yummy dinner of chicken enchiladas, my choice, and then it was off to a Court of Honor for Xander and Garrett.  Xander went up in rank to Star.  

 I came home to this awesome table decorated for the party!

 The chocolate cake......and the cute hubby....

 Happy Birthday to me!!!

 These are the best presents in the world!

 I can blow out four candles in one breath.....

 No birthday would be complete without balloon dogs, of course!

 I decided we were going to do firecrackers to celebrate how awesome I am.....

 Stuplefy!

 Stuplefy right back atcha!  This is the game the kid play and sparklers made it even better!

 Lovin' my husband!

 Forty three and fabulous!

 It was such a beautiful night we just hung out in the driveway and talked and played.....with the balloon dog, of course.....

 Xander being weird on his bike!

 Lovin' with Grandpa Johnnie.....

 Remember the "super cool" dance?  It's back!

 Just a little more sassy and a little more grown up.....

 The boys rode their bikes until they couldn't see anything!

It was a great birthday!  I am so blessed to have a great family, good kids, an awesome husband and a dad who likes to bake chocolate cakes!  Here'e to another great year!!!
