The B turns 10, A gets pearly whites, D gets older..

Here's what's cool. Bray turned 10! Except here's what's not so cool: my baby boy turned 10! Sigh...I can't believe this kid is 10 years old. We watched family movies the other day and he was just 2 years old. He was adorable! He was absolutely obsessed with his mom. We had video of him running to me for hugs and blowing me kisses, and also hilarious video of him dancing to the Backstreet Boys and to Lord of the Dance. He loved that, for some reason. The best thing was when I told Braden, "you used to be a baby that was crazy for his mom." He said, "now I'm a big boy who is crazy for his mom." Ahhh, shucks, how sweet is that? We spent the day doing Harry Potter stuff...seeing the new movie, which Braden has planned on since last December...and B got the new HP WII game too. Followed with a BBQ and chocolate cake, it was a great day...(despite the fact the truck broke down when S and I were "racing" home...Oops!)

That same day Austen got his braces off...looking very nice. Worth the money?? Oh yeah!!

Today my friends Michelle and Tina took me out to lunch for my birthday. So nice..I love my friends! My coworkers threw me a little party too...I am feeling very special. I really don't have any expectations for my birthday..haven't given it hardly any thought. Just a little McD's diet coke, a little scrapbooking, maybe a garage sale or two, perhaps a nap and a delicious steak taco dinner made by Steve..oh, and some Costco chocolate cake! and I'm a happy girl! Ahhh, may my dreams come true...
