My Day

Today is my day....my birthday! It's not a big one, just #31, but it's special to me, because I am the proud Mama to 2 GREAT little guys! Last year for my big 3-0, I was pregnant with Ben and didn't have some huge, blow-out party. I did get a surprise 30-60-90 party though! I turned 30 last year, then Gregg's grandma turned 90 2 days after, then his Mom turned 60 just 2 weeks after that! Gregg's mom hosted a wonderful party for us that Neen (grandma) and I had NO idea about it. Ben came around in May, so when he turns 30, I will be 60 and Gregg's mom will be 90! We will have to have a party then.

Anyway...today has been a good day. Henry & G made me oatmeal and toast for breakfast. I got to open cards from them and Henry & Ben made me a beautiful card with their hands traced in it. They sang happy birthday to me and then Henry asked where the cake was! We are leaving for Arkansas after work today and will be driving 5.5 hours, so no cake for me tonight, but that is fine. Henry told me that I get to pick where we will stop for dinner and my friend Renee' is bringing me lunch today! That is a special treat for a teacher since we don't get to leave at lunch.

G brought me lunch yesterday since he is not really taking a lunch today in hopes of leaving work a bit early so we can get on the road. One of my most favorite people in the world, Kelly (and her husband Justin), sent me a beautiful flower arrangement in the shape of a cupcake! It had a candle in the middle, so last night all 3 of my boys sang happy birthday to me & Henry helped me blow it out.

It's been a fun birthday so far. We are going to Rogers to celebrate my grandma's 95th birthday. Her birthday was the 18th and we are having a little party for her on Saturday. Later that night, G & I are going to go out for drinks with my brothers, sister-in-law, & friends from high school. I am looking forward to an evening with my friends! We'll celebrate my birthday on Sunday with my family before we leave. My grandma wants Saturday to be HER day and won't share it with anyone! I guess when you are 95 you get what you want.

Here are some picutres from last night.
