Happy Birthday Me

Look at these party people!  And check out that cake!  Yikes to 37.  Honestly, I've been thinking about it recently, and I think if my knee wasn't still hurting I'd actually be feeling pretty good.  So here's to hoping it actually ever fully heals...  Anyway, my birthday was good.  We got thunderstormed out of the school carnival, which was our big plan for the day, but we still had a good time together.


Rolling back, looks like Monica and Grayson went to the garden store and came home with this beauty.


On Wednesday we got donuts at work, and as I was heading home my coworker mentioned that he accidentally ordered my donut twice, so I took home the extra.  The kids were very excited to try it out.  It was a samoa donut, and I really like them.


I took the kids to the library and Grayson picked up some Berenstain Bear books.  One of them even still had a really old stamp checkout thing, with the oldest stamp being from 1998!  That's pretty awesome!  It's been at the library since I was 10!


Here's Grayson hanging out at the park.


On my birthday there was a lovely thunderstorm.  I do love a good rain on my birthday, with the only downside here being that rain almost always comes with thunder, so I wasn't actually able to go out in the rain.  But it was still a really fantastic rain storm.


I played Mario Wonder with the kids after Winry got home from dance while we waited for dinner.  We've only got one more world to go before we can beat the game.  I went to pick up pizza for dinner, and on my way back I saw a McLaren!  I do believe this is the only time in my life I've seen on for real.  Happy birthday to me indeed!


Jelly even joined us at the table for dinner.  Yummy!



After we ate, we sang and had cake and ice cream and opened presents.  Winry made me a lovely card where she drew me with a mustache.  I also had a gift that conveniently had a ribbon on it, and so I was able to throw on a quick mustache as well.  Twins!


On Saturday I went to a church leadership meeting with Elder Christofferson, and it was super great.  There was some great instruction and chances for Q&A.  I definitely had some takeaways on things I need to work on to be better in my calling and life.  I'm really grateful I had the opportunity to attend.
