I started celebrating my birthday today,and it was perfect. First, I went to lunch with Marivi. We never go to lunch without our children so today was a huge treat for us. I love having the kids around, but it was so nice to be able to sit and talk without interruption. Marivi gave me a beautiful memory book highlighting our friendship over the past twenty years. I always thought my hair got frizzy after having kids. After looking at some of the pictures, it appears I’ve always had this problem. I also got some awesome Snoopy stuff, which makes me smile every time I look at it. And then there is the cake. She made a perfect birthday cake for me. I can’t say there is much left of it!

Chelsea came over this afternoon bearing sunflowers for me! The family went to Sushi, where the boys mostly behaved. It was fun visiting and discussing her current dating situation. It’s pretty cute watching the boys with her and Kobra actually told her he loved her and gave her a hug.

And lastly, my mother’s day painting from Lance arrived in the mail today. It is a beautiful piece of art with tons of symbolism. I love it and am amazed that my husband had someone create a piece of art just for me. The artist took the time to get to know who I am and then created this piece. Thank you, baby for my gift. You are the best, Lance.
