The Big 30

Well today I turned 30. To be honest, I have had a hard time with this birthday. It kind of makes me feel like I'm getting old, which I haven't really ever felt like before. I've started looking closer in the mirror and noticing things I hadn't noticed before....girls, you know what I mean. Everyone keeps telling me that 30 is the new 20, so I'm going to gonna go with that! I ended up having a wonderful ordinary Thursday with the kids. We went to the library this morning for a puppet show and to check out books, then to eat lunch with Kevin. Kevin surprised me with a new cell phone, which I desperately needed. I've had an ancient flip phone forever, and for anyone who texts me, they know it takes me hours! I had a little bit of a meltdown because I couldn't figure out how to use the darn thing, but I'm getting better now. After lunch I went to the chiropractor (with kids in tow) for an adjustment. I go every few months now, and after a bunch of cracking and popping, I felt awesome. Then we went to visit my mother for birthday cake and ice cream. Oh, and did I mention I've been to two different Targets today? Once with the kids, and once without. Now that's my kind of day. Thank you to all of my friends who have been so uplifting to me about this birthday, you are all so sweet and kind. I had a wonderful day!

Girls and Boys Days

A few weeks ago we decided to have an all boys day for Hunter and an all girls day for Hannah. Kevin and his Dad took Hunter fishing on the boat for the first time. Hunter was beyond excited and according to Kevin he caught one fish all by himself and reeled in all 20 fish that they caught. It melts my heart to know that this was just the first of many fishing trips for them. This little boy loves his Daddy and wants to be just like him. He looks so grown up to me in this picture...

Pam and I took Hannah to the movies to see Rio, which was awesome, and then to get a pedicure. They paint kiddos nails for $4. We had a lot of fun, but she wasn't thrilled to be left out of the fishing trip...she loves her Daddy too. The pedicure made up for it though...she picked a flower design and loved it. Sweet girl.
