Happy Birthday Kellie

We celebrated Kellie's Birthday Today!  I forgot her Birthday Crown.  I know why....I was watching Behrenger.  I got distracted by a very cute little guy and left the crown home.  Kellie might have been happy about it.  At the last minute I did decide to print some silly eyes to make things silly.  "I have my EYE on you!"

We went to the Greenery.  They have seating outside now but we chose to stay inside since it was cooler.  I love these cute gals.  I'm glad this lunch didn't get cancelled like it almost was.  There  is always a lot going on but nothing more important than celebrating someone's life!  I'm glad Kellie was born and that we became friends.  I really love this sweet friend of mine.

I was in line to pay and heard someone call my name.  I looked around and saw three of my cousins coming toward me with huge smiles.  They were celebrating Julie's (in front) birthday, which was yesterday.  They made my day.  I feel like a giant around these ladies.  They must have all got shorter as well.  These cute cousins are distant cousins and I always forget how exactly we are related.  I'm just glad we are.  I love them all so much and it's fun connecting with them every now and then.

I got to enjoy Behr more when I got home.  When Trichelle came to get him she decided to stay and visit for a while.  I loved visiting with her and having Zaden tell me about his fun outing with his mom. (they went to some motorcycle and go-cart races)  It was a fun day!

Breakfast ~ What was a happy moment this week? When I finished typing everything for Jared's book.  It was kind of overwhelming at first trying to organize my thoughts and everything that was shared with us. It's taken me months and it's a quick read.   It's done as good as I am going to do it! YIPPEE!

Lunch ~ What was a sad moment this week? I can't really think of anything too sad.  I did feel bad for an older gentleman that we saw going into the store on Tuesday.  He was trying to get on his scooter by himself.  Tonya and I went and helped him and got his ramp secured back to his trailer.  Because we stopped to help another gal stopped to see if she could help too.  So kind of a sad thing that didn't end so sad.  Our son needed a blessing this week and it always breaks my heart to see my kids sick or struggling.  It's even harder when I see tears in their eyes.

Dinner ~ What happened that surprised you this week? I got a very exciting text announcing some really great news.

Also, spur of the moment our family was invited to have dinner and play cards with Carla and Roger.

Midnight Snack ~ What happened that didn't surprise you this week? When I got home I had lots of laundry to do even though the kids were suppose to do it before I got home.  Jared saved his on his floor and brought it down the next day.  The dishes didn't get done for a few days.  I reminded my child it was their responsibility this week and even though I wasn't surprised they weren't getting done I was disappointed.

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?) Never Give Up On Yourself!  I didn't want to write a book because I didn't think I could.  It's not long and it's not perfect.  It's not professional by any means, but it is finished and our family will have it to remember some of the ripples from our experience.
