35

 (8/29/14) 

Well, I am 35.  Goodness, I felt like a long time ago that it would take me FOREVER to get to 35 and now I am like "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TIME!?"  I talked to my cousins about this subject this weekend.  TIME flies by too fast!  The boys are getting too big too fast ...... I am getting too old too fast!  

Even though Pierce was very sickly and Reid on the cusp of getting it..... I had a really good day!  I got to stay home that morning with them and then I went to work for the afternoon!  The girls at work surprised me with rotel and a cake!  :)  

Then I got home and I was COMPLETELY surprised with BEAUTIFUL flowers (which these pictures do NOT do it justice) and a delicious cake that I did NOT expect!   Brian had been working hard while I was working!!  

Brian always makes it so special for me, whether it be Mother's Day or my Birthday.... he is so thoughtful and caring!  I never do that for him on his special days!  One day I'll get better (my famous saying!)  

I received many phone calls and texts through out the day that made me feel very special too!  I am so thankful for my world and everyone in it!  

:)

Singing to me! 

All morning Pierce had been saying "when are you going to open your piggy bank???"  and I said "Oh is that what I am getting?" (He, Reid and Brian had wrapped my presents the night before and were really sneaky when I wanted to come in the room saying "No, you can not come in.....Daddy is fixing something, yes, yes, he is fixing something in the bathroom!" haha!)  Well, I didn't get a piggy bank, I got an awesome purse and some new shoes for work!  

 Pierce helping me with my shoes!  :) 

Reid was REAL interested in presents!  ha!!

Chocolate Chip Cream Pie = TO DIE FOR!  :) 

My first monthly flowers of the year!  :) 

A little SUNSHINE !

(8/27) On my way to acupuncture I saw some rows of these beautiful sunflowers!  I jumped off the road really quick to snap a few pictures at our AgriCenter in Shelby Farms! It was a ray of sunshine for me!  And everyday that I look at these pictures afterwards!  Even in the middle picture a Bee photo bombed it!  It makes me laugh!  ha!  Enjoy a ray of sunshine!  :)  

Head Lamp kind of Morning! :)

 My Coal Miners are kind of cute aren't they??  :)
