!!!My Birthday Blog!!!

My Birthday is coming up and sometimes you just get so excited about these things. Ohhh, to have a day all to yourself, or so we would like to think. The thought of it makes me so excited, like when you tingle inside with giddiness. Oh Great, now I am building this up so much, my day is going to blow!

So tonight Rich asked me what I wanted to do on my Birthday and I literally was blank. What can a girl do with a "Saturday Birthday" all to herself? Oh, it is weird but I wasn't sure. I do however share my Birthday with my Mom, it is the BEST, we always plan "Our" day. In years past we have even made or bought our own freakin' cake!

So this year, with it being a Saturday, ahhhhhh! A Saturday Birthday should be granted every year. For several reasons: Husbands are home, there is no church, you don't have to do carpool, Room Mother or work. It is the ultimate best day of the week EVER to have a birthday!

So these are my ideas for my Saturday Birthday:

-A day spent in Logan with my husband, we love Logan (the city and the kid, but in this case the city) we love to eat there and hang there.

-A pedicure and bra shopping, totally depressing in my case.

-Lunch at the Olive Garden with Rich and the kids

-Gardner's Village with my Mom and Sister

-Taking the boat out for one last (cold) spin, just to empty the gas for the year

-Sitting home and scrapbooking all day

Those are the only things I could come up with for my Satur"DAY" Birthday. I'm pretty sure Saturday night will be dinner with my parents and siblings, wahoo!

No seriously it will be a great day! I just need to decide what to do...

Then there is the 9th Wedding Anniversary SIX days later!

Nellie Mae is 1!

Nellie has been such a joy in our family. Unfortunately she has grown up FARRRRRR too fast. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking how fast it flew. And for those that know me best know I have the worst memory ever. I seriously cannot remember Nellie when she was super brand new. I think post pregnant head puts you in such a fog, which in some cases is a blessing, that life just whizzes by and the babies grow up without us even being able to comprehend and take it all in. Thank goodness for blogs and scrap booking to document all of my lost memories. In the first few months after Nellie was born I loved to do nothing else but hold her. The great thing was I could and took full advantage doing so knowing she is the caboose in the family. She is so entertaining and always, always smiley. She waves at the Yellow School Bus and giggles when she watches the kids get off the bus each day. She puts up with a lot of mauling from both Rileigh and Logan and Dad. They all play rough with her and she ends up screaming for help, poor thing. I thought her newness in our family would wear off and the kids would leave her alone. It hasn't, but it just proves how much they love having her in our family. We love you Nellsters Happy Birthday to YOU!

Logan and Rileigh turn 6 with SIX Sidekicks

So Rileigh who remembers everything these days reminded me we needed to send out invitations two days before their Birthday. So I made some phone calls to invite friends to a "family night" with the Whitemyer's. Giving parents the break of not having to come up with a present the day before the Birthday party. (I desperately wanted to get out of doing the "Friend Party" this year). Logan wanted to go to Sparetime Family Fun Center in Syracuse where the kids got unlimited Laser Tag, Bowling, Miniature Golf, 25 Tokens and Pizza. All to do in 2 1/2 hours. It was all the about the Laser Tag for Logan. It was even entertaining for the Grandparents, they challenged each other in a game of Bowling. I think the one that had the most fun, was DAD. What a memorable Birthday Party!

Rileigh got a new back-pack for Kindergarten

Logan got Star Wars toys

Guy Friends: Logan, Luke Tormen, Ethan and Cole Terry
