For My 30th Birthday...

...I've already got all I could wish for, but...
What I asked for, I got!  I got my amazing step-mom ("Mom") and baby sister to come down to do pictures with me and the family.  We got to make our own pizza for Matt to cook on the Green Egg.  I got a cookie cake.  Best of all...I got to spend the day with those that I love!  Mom, Madelon and I played gin rummy...Maddy killed us!  She is awesome at the game.

I wanted to get some "professional" pictures that I could get printed BIG to put on my walls.  My camera is of professional level, so why not just use mine?  Jamie came over and took pictures for us.  (Great gal!)  She could firm up her picture taking abilities ;) Love ya!

We are always laughing when we get together.  It is such a joy to see them!

So, for my birthday card from Maddy, there was this "badge" that says, "It's My Birthday.  Want to Spank me?"  Of course they made me wear it!  (Strange, I didn't get any spankings.)

My baby sister (19 years old) is a beautiful young woman.  I really love being her big sister.  She makes me feel so important to her.  (Of course as I am writing this, my eyes get teary.)  I love you Madelon!

Look at the "old fart" with the youngin'!
(When my dad called to wish my a happy birthday he called me old.  Wonder what that makes him.  I guess he was around when the dinosaurs were!)

The girls - we're so beautiful!


Jamie and me (She has GREAT style.  I am wearing her jeans and the shirt she was getting rid of, so I snagged it.  I am so lucky to have such a fashionista just down the street from me!)


Yay leaves!!

We watched "Tangled".  Poor Madelon had to keep pausing it so she could hear it - Sorry Mad!


See how intent she is?  Sage is sleeping with her number one carrot giver!

Kisses for her baby...


One of my "birthday wishes" was to get family pictures that could be shared and put on the wall.  So, we went out front and Maddy became photographer.



My baby girl!  She isn't such a baby anymore!  I can't believe she'll be SIX in January!

Mmmmmm leaves!

Monkey Lilah
I love this picture of her!

And, this one, too!

Wyatt investigating the front yard....What can he find to put in his mouth!?

My beautiful angels!

WEEEE!



Grandma Carol with her precious grandson!

Cheese!

Pizza making time!

Grrrr!  I think the knife wins over the pizza cutter.  

Maddy, Mom, me and Jamie
Thanks for photo-bombing it Mom!

It is funny though.  Of course Jamie is still smiling for the camera and the rest of us aren't.

Kensington and Lilah
Best friends

My pretty puppy!

Happy Birthday to me!
Goodbye 20s Hello 30s!

I guess in my age things start to sag and Maddy was just givin' 'em a lift!

Jamie and her family have become family to us.


A candle didnt' stay lit...I wonder if that is indicative of my mind.  Not all on/lit.

I had the girls help me blow out the candles.  


THANK YOU to everyone for coming and making my day special.  I really do feel loved.  Thank you for all the emails and calls, too!  I love you all!
