Did I just turn 16 or 26?


The answer: 26...that would be scary if I was 16 with a hubby and three kids! (Ron just said that happened in Medieval times...eek!) Notice that both boys were sick on the couch-a mom's best birthday present:) Present #2, I took Jace to the doc due to his 4th week in a row brochialitis problem...fyi for those who know how many times I have fought this illness with my boys, a doc finally gave me a preventive inhaler so I won't have to go through the steroids and blah every time a cold invades-wahoo!
I got other stuff but I won't bore you with those details...my favorite part of this picture is our feet! Sorry about that :)
Ron taught a super late class so the rest of us at stayed at home and watched movies, some coughed a lot, made pizza, coughed some more and had medicine, supported our local ice cream man, and went to bed coughing! But we had a good time doing it! Good thing no one came for dinner!




Jace's face sums up the best 26th birthday ever! Thanks to my mom for going through with delivering me...even though I am often reminded that you almost had a blood transfusion, and contracted shingles and a bladder infection after wards...but come on, wasn't I worth it?

Happy Birthday Rachelle! I need to write down your birthday so that I don't forget. I'm glad to see you guys supporting your local ice cream man. We love our ice cream man. The best part of Summer.

Hurray for doctors who choose a course to help mom instead of just the standard prescription.
Sorry you had to spend your birthday tending to sick kids and your husband getting home late. You always have a good attitude about everything, though. You are amazing. Happy BIrthday!
