One year OLDER!!!

And wiser too Ü

So Yesterday was my birthday!! I wasn't thrilled to be a year older, but I have no control over my age right!!! SO, that said~ I turned 36... Yep, I am now closer to 40 then I am to 30! YIKES!! So anyways, it started off as a great morning- I take my girls' to School every morning but Shawn said he would take the girls yesterday morning so I could get ready to go and to what I was SO excited to do when I was 16 years old.. That's to get my driver's license. Only, it was a lot more fun to get it when your 16- renewing is not so much fun.. But it had to be done!!

~Backing up a little tiny bit: Buzy was having a VERY hard time with her dad taking them to School, she was crying all the way through morning prayers.. She wanted me to take her- I said but Dad wants to take you, she said but I am used to you taking me all the time.. So, they left and she cried, Shawn said that the cute Principal  helped Bryhn and walked her to her class because she was so upset! Poor buzy!! She is my baby.

So, Shawn and I were driving and the sun was out SO bright so I pulled down my visor as Shawn knew that I would and a card landed on the ground.. I opened it up and it was a cute card- I will have to insert a picture of it in a bit, there was also a gift card to Barnes N Nobles (luv ♥ that place). So, we went to breakfast at kneaders- it was yummy!

Here is the funny card Ü

We then went to Barnes N Nobles I was able to get a few books, I have a list on my cell phone of one's I would like but they had none of them.. So, I will have to go to Amazon for those one's Ü I have a goal of reading as many books as I can this year including the scriptures! So, after we went their we went over to my parents house and spent some time there with my Dad, it's always fun to sit and talk with my parents: I love  my Family so much!

My dad gave me a million dollars- aren't you so Jealous!! Could you even imagine getting this for real's!!Well, I cannot... But it's the thought that counts right! 

So afterwards we made our way to the School to pick up the kids since it was early day! After that we went to lunch at La Hacienda I ♥ Mexican food, we decided to stay with in our city and support them! Afterwards we went over to See's.. I was able to get some candy (choc/nuts) Love them!! Afterwards we went home..It was a really fun day.. My family had a little party for me and my sister in law made my birthday cake- you don't get to see the cake until they sing happy birthday!! I must say I LOVE the cake, Steph does such an awesome job~ If you need a cake let her know..

 Not my best look, but what do ya do!! It's a party and you have to blow out the candles.. This year on my cake I turned 1 Ü isn't that awesome, Thanks Steph LOVE the cake.. ♥U!

Love the cake, we had mexican dinner! Yep, Yummy!! It's probably the first day that I have had 3 meals.. Ha! Ha!
