Channeling Kate Gosselin

Ava work up with some pretty sweet bed head yesterday.





I'm thinking she is channeling Kate Gosselin with that hair, what do you think? At least Ava is just cute, and not crazy!
I love that my kids make me smile and laugh everyday, and this made me laugh out loud!

So this is what 32 looks like.

I turned 32 this past Saturday, and I have to admit I feel a bit old. I have started to notice the past few months that my face is starting to change, especially my eyes. I'm getting some wrinkles, and it makes me sad! I know I will get old eventually, I just didn't know eventually was starting now! Oh well.


I did get woken up with breakfast in bed, and the kids sang to me as they delivered my eggs, Canadian bacon, English muffin, and diet coke with a giant lemon wedge (my kids know me so well!). It was very sweet! In fact, Ava has been singing her version of Happy Birthday ever since. She just says "happy you you, happy you you" over and over! I LOVE her version!


It was Saturday business as usual with dance class, birthday parties, and house cleaning, but it was still a great day. Chuck and I went out to dinner, which is always a treat, then off to a company party for one of his clients, and then we ended my birthday date by seeing "The Blind Side". It was such a great movie, and I can't wait to see it again!

I have so much to be thankful for. I love my life. I love my amazing, hard working, funny husband who is always making me laugh (I am often rolling my eyes at the same time too, but that's okay)! I love my four children. In all my life I've never wanted anything more than to be a mother. They keep me on my toes, they keep me humble, they keep me laughing, they keep me prayerful, they are forever mine, and I love that.

So if this is what 32 looks like, then I'm okay with that. I've accomplished a lot for my age, and I have lots more I plan to do. All these plans are gonna take time, which means I'll get older and have more wrinkles, but so be it!
