Momma Turns 35!






Its so funny that my kids call me Momma. I thought I was a city girl, growing up in bustling Clearwater, FL- never expected to have kids that would call me "Momma". My kids rock! My family rocks! All I wanted to do for my birthday was spend the day with them. I got spoiled in lots of ways: Friday night went to dinner with Tim & Desi, Sara & Brett, Andi & Jared. They are such a fun group, we are lucky to have only been in this neighborhood a little over a year and have already found a great gang to hang with! We had a ball, went to Samuri 21 Japanese restaurant and sat at a hibachi table where they cooked in front of us. We had the most obnoxious cook, he really enjoyed making fun of all of us! After dinner Andi suprised me with a delicious lemon cake that she made for my BD! We sat outside & enjoyed it in the perfect 70 degrees St. George weather. Andi is SOO thoughtful! Then Sat. I got up and ran 19 miles (I needed over 17 for the day to complete my goal of running 35 miles last week for my 35th BD). Had a ball with Heather & the Eschlers on my birthday morning as we all groaned & sweated out 19 miles together! Next, got to watch my athletic son play a wonderful soccer game where he made some SWEET passes. (Meanwhile Arielle was at a "makeover" birthday party, getting all dolled up.) As I already mentioned the weather was PERFECT this weekend, so we spent some time Sat. afternoon in the yard just watching the kids do tricks on the tramp (Arielle likes to perform her gymnastics moves for us & Toby has taken up "tramp boarding"). Lastly, I cozied up on the couch with my fam Sat. night to watch THE JAZZ beat Houston. Perfect ending to a perfect day! I am so blessed!

Happy Birthday, girl! I am so glad your BD was just how you wanted it to be. I still cant believe you got out and ran 19 miles Sat. Way to stick to your goal.

Happy Belated! I love Samurai 21! Kylee called me mommy when she was little and would try and call me mama and I wouldn't let her because I felt it made her sound too grown up. Now they all call me mama or MOM!!!! Even Brynlee

Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a perfect day! Sounds a lot like my perfect day - only my perfect day would not include running 19 miles. LOL! Way to go!

It's so cute that your kids call you "Momma". Henry calls me "Ma" now...too "Little House on the Prairie" for my liking. Oh Well. So glad your birthday was fabulous. I think it's great that two of my favorite people(you and my Momma) came into this world on the same day :)

Oh my gosh....19 miles! I just started running again. Wish I was already great shape like you. Happy Birthday. I might be coming down the first week of June so we'll have to go to lunch or something.
