Celebration started on the Friday before with Jason and I going out to Ruth Chris - YUMMY (thanks to a gift card we had). Timing wasn't right for a movie so we took a little time and went shopping at Kohl's - what a good night. Brittyn Carr kept the boys that night and Brody told her that I was turning 15 and he then told her that she was older than me - what a good feeling!!
Celebration #2 was the Monday before my birthday and we braved taking the boys out to eat with my parents. You never know how they will act in a restaurant, what Trevor will eat or throw on the floor - this is why we don't go out very much as a family. We headed out to Olive Garden which I love.
Well, on our way to River City, Jason told me that we were dropping off my vehicle at Best Buy - why I asked???? He had made an appointment for me to have a cord installed to my antenna so I can hook up my iphone to listen to Pandora, any songs I have on there, etc. We have gone through 2 different FM transmitters that were pieces of junk, so it was time to go a different route. I was very excited since Brody loves to listen to Disney on Pandora and I have been trying to listen to different podcasts for my morning devotion on my way to work. This was a great present and will be used a lot!!
Don't let this picture fool you - he didn't even try the spaghetti.
Thankfully the boys did great even with not so great service - we were there for over 2 hours.
Celebration #3 was on Tuesday on my birthday. I am blessed with a job that provides lunch for us everyday so I got to pick my choice - Mojo's and a HUGE chocolate cake - YUMMY!!! That night my dad cooked dinner for me since Jason had a basketball tournament that night & didn't get home until midnight (they did bring home the over 5 foot 1st place trophy) - see why we celebrated so early??
Yummy treats from Cinati's Bakery.
My boss turned 60 the week before and this was one of the gag gifts we bought him. He thought it would be funny for me to have it now.
Celebration #4 was last Friday when Jason brought home a chocolate ganache cake from Dessert First which was wonderful. I don't know who was happier - me or Brody - don't worry Trevor has enjoyed his fare share as well.
Celebration #5 was on Wednesday when I had the entire day to myself while my mom and Aunt LeeLee (Lynnda Cook) took the boys to the zoo. My day started out at the eye doctor and then 4 hours of shopping and then 3 hours at the spa for a massage, facial and pedicure. What a glorious day. It's such a good feeling to be able to take my time in a store and not have to worry about a child screaming. Oh how thankful I am to my mom for taking care of the boys for me - I so needed that day.
Well, I think that sums up my birthday celebration week (s). What a great time I've had and I can't believe I'm 35 - I really don't feel any older than 15 :)
