here's the kids 'making' & enjoying brock's homemade carrot cake...yum!
so friday was my birthday & i received my first gift around 2 am when i heard mia coughing...so i went in to check on her and she couldn't catch her breath, so i yanked her up and hollered at brock as i took her outside...the cool air helped a bit as i told her to take 'big breaths'...finally, she calmed down and began to breath...well wheeze...so long story short, she ended up in bed with us for the night and for the next 3..which although it seems like an inconvenience, i secretly like it...she layed and talked-no joke- till at least 6am...it would get really quiet, then i'd hear "mama, on my next bday, i'm gonna be 4..." (me"uh-huh") "...when i'm 4, i'm gonna be really tall.." (me "uh-huh") "...and i'll be able to wear my new jeans" ("uh-huh") .......silence...."mama, when i get my ears pierced, i'm gonna be able to do a cartwheel" ...(duh..) the last thing i remember between my catnaps was "mama, it's getting light outside"...so even though the night was eventful, i just couldn't bring myself to tell to quiet down...i could just tell how special it was for her to be in there...
ok, so my gifts this year so pretty geeky & i thought twice about posting them but, you know, they really are what i wanted....so here is my glass door -complete with coordinating brushed nickle handles for our original wood door...brock & i started around 11 to install it (look, Lowe's only charges $100 to install it but i refused to give in once we started...) and i went upstairs for lunch around 4:30...around 6 uncle brynee & leelee got here to keep the kids while we went out...i, of course, was exhausted from the lack of sleep & simply being pregnant...but we had a blast...we went to melting pot...i simply can't bring myself to choose another place...seriously, what is better than melted cheese with bread & melted chocolate with strawberries...not much! of course brock got his share of steak bc i was so full from the cheese course! back here at home, they played 'dollhouse', made cookies, watched lion king, & read TWO books... brax & mia always get so excited when brian & leanne come...they're still asking "unc. brynee go?" "leelee outside?"...we're grateful for people who enjoy our children, & vise versa...
so the door is on...our neighboor must have pitied us, because for the past 2 days he's been over here trying to help us finish the job(the drip plate, hydraulic close, & who knows what else...) here pictured is my super cute mailbox cover that brock's mom sent down, and my tulip mix that i intend to plant around the mailbox (ehhhh..i'm little nervous on this one...hope they live...) so 25 i am. and glad to be living...
*oh, & maybe the best gift....was starting to feel the baby move... :)
Happy Birthday! Isn't it funny how our birthday gifts goes from things that we want to things that we need? I was so excited about getting a new set of pots and pans this Christmas! I hope everything is fine with Mia. She is so precious! When we come up we're going to have to go to the Melting Pot! Take care!
