{ Wood blocks, Birthdays, & Primary }

The last few days have been so busy. Running here and there. Working on getting primary bulletin boards updated to the new theme: I am a Child of God, and sanding, painting and decorating 60 wooden blocks ( I don't have to do them all but I got a good start on them) we are giving them to our primary kids for their birthdays this year. I spent most of the afternoon working on those. I kind of get going and can't stop and just keep cranking out the finished products just to get them done. I'll post pictures they actually turned out cuter then I thought they would. Have I told you before that I love vinyl lettering!

Anyway my birthday was great you know what made it so good-- was the 40 facebook messages saying happy birthday, just the thought that they took the time to do it means alot. Then the 16 calls durning the day just to say HB! Emails, phone calls especially from good friends I haven't talked to in a long time (sad I missed your call ROSE but I got your message)! IT's so nice to be recognized and remembered on our birthdays because if not its like any other day-- get up, shower, bath kids, feed kids, car pool kids, nap kids, same as any other day usually ! SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A GREAT DAY the comments on my blog made my day too! The best part-- D made me a (skor) cake don't even remember the last time I had a cake with candles, and I got two willow tree figures one from my cute sister and one from D and the kids --I collect them and love each one. I have a great family! So ya made a big dinner and had some family over then we watched Mr bean's Vacation such a funny show!! It was a good night.

When we are growing up our birthdays are a special day at least in our house growing up we got to choose our breakfeast and supper, didn't have to do any chores and usually went to school and got a treat and sung to!! Okay so I'm the most predictable person ever every year as all my brothers and sisters can tell you that I always wanted fruit loops for breakfeast because we never had sugar cereals growing up (usually oatmeal) and then for dinner lasgana and cherry cheesecake!! So this year I bought fruit loops for myself and had that for breakfeast and tomorrow my mom is making my birthday supper lucky me!! So it was a good birthday!

What do you guys do for your birthdays any traditional things you do for birthdays?? Just curious!

Last night Kolten and I went on a date I love one on one time its so fun to ask them questions and just hang out with just them!!We went to the mall looked around got kolt a haircut( but get this I have a gift cert to the mall and couldn't find a thing I liked!! (So I came home and ordered a couple things from Target YAH) So I felt better after that ha ha!! We went for smoothies and then to walmart were Kolt had a gift cert from his birthday can I just say don't ever give a 6 year old a gift cert we were there for over an hour and he couldn't decide what he wanted. He finally decided on a western gun set and he was very happy with his final choice so He better be, eh !! after all that and all together it was a really fun night and he loves his mom date nights.

SO exciting news---my sisters and I are going on a roadtrip in February and meeting in Rexburg for a couple of days shopping, hanging out and no kids!! I can't wait! It's a weekend trip so the dad's are all watching there own kids should be interesting. But thats something to look forward to.

Well this is so much longer then I intended hope I didn't bore you all!
