It's MY BIRTHDAY

I worked a double last night and came home a little after 11pm. My children knew that they would not see me in the morning and decorated the house for me when I walked in. I was greeted by this sign and balloons taped to the wall and all over the floor! On each balloon was written sweet tender messages of love! "awe, so sweet".


WHAT THE HECK??? HELLO! Someone please send out the message! WHO WROTE this balloon??

SOMEONE IS GETTING NOTHING BUT COAL for CHRISTMAS!

For the past few months I have combed every store looking for these priceless wonders! I received them for my birthday and have been whistling dixie ever since! I had a marathon night watching them all! If you have never heard of them, you must seek these out!!! SERIOUSLY! Mr. Incredible went on line and bought the whole kit and caboodle. You know, 'cause he loves to make me happy!



Warrior's G'friend brought by a beautiful bouquet of flowers with roses. Thanks Y.

Unexpected, but appreciated. Mr. Incredible's boss sent me a bouquet of mixed flowers! That was so thoughtful and appreciated. Thank you K, who works for the company that should not be named!


A young couple in our ward, who serves as the YWP. Her and her husband dropped off this cute adorable and delicious little train set for us! How cute is that!

We went out for dinner to one of my favorite mexican restaurants! Mmmm.... good! But, before we left for dinner we played a short friendly game of basketball! The night air was brisk. I love it when the night air is cold enough to be thankful for a jacket but warm enough that your nose doesn't turn red!

SPEAKING OF RED!! My mom sent me my birthday present! It was red and beautiful! My mixer that I had for 16 years finally died! Secretly, I was praying that my OSTER would die so I could replace it with a kitchenAid but the sucker never would! To be fair. I loved that thing and may it rest in peace! But, now my home owns a kitchenaide too! I think I need to remodel my kitchen so it will be worthy to house such a beauty. It's like parking a corvette in a shed. :light bulbs go off:



Last but not least look what my kiddo's baked for me?? Thank you so much for a wonderful day! My gift to myself was time to blog and leave comments!

Oh, it looks like you were so blessed!!! Oh my gosh, I watched all those videos at my friends one night! It was our "girls night out." LOL!! I was balling!!!

Enjoy your new mixer! Can't wait to see all the goodies you make with it! Tell your kids & hubby, "Good job!!"

Happy Birthday! I can tell that you are loved. I'm loving the red mixer. Mine is boring ol' white. But I love it just the same. And you got it just in time to whip up some Christmas treats.

Hope you had a great day.

No Way! Oops! Wait! I mean happy birthday. We are both December girls. My birthday is this coming Sat. OMW! I have ever love comes softly. I found it by accident in the movie store several years ago and was blown away. I made my girls and all my friends watch it and now I own them all AND I have wanted a RED Kitchen Aid mixer for years. Congrats! Your birthday looks wonderful! That is so awesome girl! P.S. I LOVE your new header;)

Alyson | New England Living said...

Happy birthday!!!! What a great day you've had. You are obviously very loved. Oh, and why won't my mom get me a kitchenaid? No fair. That thing is beautiful, not to mention all the stuff it can do. Looks like you have just under an hour until it's over, so live it up baby!

Miranda said...

Happy Birthday to you!!! How cool! Your family is so sweet to decorate the house for you. LOVE your gift from your mom too! That's next on my list. In fact, I was just looking at those last night at a store while we were waiting for the saleman to get my camera. Those are nice!
My new camera is the first Nikon I have owned, but knew it was the right one for me after much research. My dream camera is the D90 and then move on up to maybe a D300. But it's good to know that you use Nikon too with you being a pro and all.
LOVE your new blog decor! The pictures are GREAT! Glad you gifted yourself blog time, it's great to hear from you. Happy birthday again!

Rhonda said...

Happy Birthday and I am so sending this post to my mom with a "take note" memo for my birthday.

Cynthia said...

Woot Woo! Happy birthday. Sounds like a great day and I'm glad those you love made you feel so special.

You are so going to love your Kitchenaid. My Mother-in-law gave me one as a wedding gift. She probably did it to ensure her son would be well fed. Judging by how much weight I've put on him, yeah, he's eatin' sweet! Maybe I need to do a worse job. LOL!

Happy Birthday Goose. Love it. How fun is your family. That is so cool. All the goods. That guy of yours is a champ. That kitchenaid is to die for. Love it. Everything was just fantastic. Enjoy your youthful year. Woo Hoo. The Goose was born a golden egg.

Blog Stalker said...

Happy late birthday!

It's always so intriguing when you are mysterious about 'the company' always makes me think of prison break and 'the company'. lol

But who am I to talk about being mysterious!

Have a great day!
