Amazing Arboretum!

Today my pass to the Arboretum expired. I LOVE this place! I will miss it.

We had a great time with the Braithwaites!

My 40th Birthday

Happy 40th! It started on Monday because Joe works all day on Tuesdays. Joe made yummy dinners Sunday and Monday though. Sweet and Sour Pork like the Noodle parlor on Sunday and Salmon and scones on Monday. SOOOO good! :) Opened gifts on Monday too. Joe and kids gave me a new watch! And Spencer gave me a pack of good pens! :)  My parents sent a box of 40 gifts. Crazy! The kids were freaking out. I need to remember they like quanity. 

 Helping me open!

 Take note of this pie family/friends. Found in the frozen section at Walmart. SOOOO YUMMY!

 My real birthday was a pretty regular day. I met Amber and Stephanie at the park though. Then went on a walk with kids. My friend Kassandra told me she was picking me up at 7. She didn't say anything else. So I didn't think we were doing anything but getting a treat or something. She took me up the road to Painting with a Twist where several of my friends were waiting. Christina, Myrna, Bridgette, and Mindy were all there with a spread of treats. We had a great time! I recieved so many texts, phone calls, sweet posts on Facebook. It was a Great day!!!
