th was my 32
nd birthday (scary that I would admit that huh?)! Life for the last couple of years have been overwhelmingly hard. Some of the hardest in my life but, I am sure not the last of hard times. But, you know what I have survived and continue to survive so yeah for me. I digress, I didn't want to go into a
sob story. The reason I said that was so I can explain that for my Birthday all I really wanted was to do something fun, relaxing, and something that got my mind away from life. I got exactly what I wanted!! The day of my Birthday was pretty normal mom stuff. I did get
a lot of nice texts, a visit from my wonderful in-laws, some calls, and some horrible HAPPY BIRTHDAY songs (you know who I am talking about Ryan
lol). In the evening Cory and I went to
Tepanyaki's for dinner ( my favorite) with my parents and we were going to go bowling afterward but, it was too long of a wait so we bought
ice cream and went back to their house to play games. It was very enjoyable. We got a baby sitter for a change so it was a relaxing night. The only down fall was I didn't get to spend it with my brother Joe. His Birthday is the same day and I think other than his mission this was the first time we didn't get to see each other. It's
ok though he had obligations and it get harder and harder the older we get and the bigger our families get. I did miss him though but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOE also!! I hope he had a good day too. Plus my Birthday didn't end there the next day I was spoiled by a couple of life longs friends. My two friends that I have known for about 21 years took me out to lunch at RED LOBSTER (another favorite), they got me a really cute necklace, and then we wandered around the mall for a little bit. Once again I didn't have my kids I love them but , it was nice to be without them for a few days. Then one of the most wonderful things of all was usually when I come home (when dad is in charge) the house is... to say the least a disaster. This time it was spotless!!!! Cory spent the time I was gone cleaning the whole house toilets and everything. It was
beeaauutiful:) I know that to someone else my Birthday didn't seem like a BIG party but, I thought it was perfect. I had loved ones around me and it was very peaceful and stress free. So THANKS to all who thought of me, I luv ya!:)
My baby boy Ty turned four years old on February 13th! We decided to take him to Pirate Island because we have not been there yet and he thought it sounded like a lot of fun. It turned out to be a BLAST!!! We invited everyone in the family that wanted to join us and to our surprise we had about 30 people there. One of the gifts he got was a Bumblebee outfit he has worn it every day since.
Doesn't Ty Aunt Brooke look hot in her Pirate Hat! His cousins Logan and Beckham loved the place too they kept raiding the souvenir shop it was so funny.

Here is Grandpa and the boys playing games it was hilarious Grandpa had just as much fun as they did. We ended up with 977 tickets in the end and around 600 or more were from Grandpa. It was a really good day lots of family, lots of fun, and the food was way better than Chucky Cheese, we will definitely do it again sometime. Happy Birthday to my (little sorry big boy) Ty!!!!!
