Birthdays aren't all that great once you're a "grown up", because you are just getting older. But my family was so nice to me today, I just wanted to thank them. Yesterday, Mike and the girls made this cheesecake for me, complete with "leaves" thanks Kenna, on the top.
Today, Mike made me a nice omelet with all of the vegetables in it that he doesn't like. Then at church, Katie kindly told everyone that yesterday my mom was 37, but today she is 38. After church, Katie asked what my favorite game was, so we could play as a family.
Then all the kids helped Mike make me a great dinner. I didn't have to cook all day and I even got a nap! Thanks to all my friends and family who remembered me. The best thing was getting some new skis! Bring on the snow.
For the last few years, I have used either Mike's old skis or Mike's mom's old skis, neither of which was quite the right length for me, so this will be great. Mike got some too, we got a pretty good deal at the ski swap. This is a picture of Katie's ankle.
About 2-3 weeks ago, she got a bunch of these wrist bands and put them on her ankles. She only takes them off for baths. I have to make her take them off for church. Just one of those weird kid quirks, I guess. I wanted to put it on here just so I could remember.
-Funny story for this week. I picked Chase up from school Thursday and as he got in the car, he said his backpack was dripping on him. I asked if he had a water bottle in there. He said no and so I thought it was probably just cold and that made it feel wet. We both forgot about it. Later that night, when he was taking out his homework, it was definately wet, so he started cleaning everything out of it. He put his hand in one of the smaller front pockets and pulled out part of a disinigrated milk carton and his hand was covered with curdled chocolate milk! Super bad smell coming out too. Turns out one week previously, this kid at his after school math club had given his milk to Chase. Chase then put it in his backpack to drink later at home and forgot about it. Milk in the backpack for a week = gross!!! We washed his backpack and cleaned up his papers as best we could. Stinky.

ohhh cheescake, now that IS a good birthday present. Yum.
And how about those snazzy boots and skis? That silver reminds me of the tennis shoes in Italy. (really)
Glad your day was memorable!
Hugs!
Cheesecake and curdled milk. That's quite a combo! Glad you had a nice day young lady! You deserve it. I like the ankle bracelets - Reminds me of Tyson love of his hammer pants. I would literally have to strip them off him to wash them. You think curdled milk is stinky! :0)
What a good B-day.
I can't tell you last time I went skiing. I used to love it, now.....not so much. I hate being cold, and I am either cold or sweating when I ski.
I hate curdled milk. I refuse to let me kids have milk in sippies for that very reason!
Sounds like a great bday. Who doesn't like cheesecake?? Now curdled milk--that's another story. Nice that your family does the skiing thing together. I decided years ago that I didn't really like it and never really did. My feet always hurt and I never could get the turning down. Haven't been since.
I am with you, as if our kids birthdays aren't enough of a reminder of how old we are getting! On the other hand it is nice to have the preferential treatment. Sounds like it was a good day, and a nice reminder of how your family loves you!,
Just like chocolate milk, Amy, you only get better with age!! Just kidding. Your skis look great, can't wait to go!!
