Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday To Me!



So since I'm the only one to update our blog I guess I have to make an entry for myself, can't overlook a special day right?!

As I think back over the years of my birthday this is what I can remember: As a kid we would have cake & ice cream and my grandparents would come over to celebrate. I had a party once with kids, I think I was eight. One of my birthday's I was given a surprise party but I'm such a dunce I don't know how old I was. I remember voting for a President on my birthday too. I always remember Halloween Candy and decorations since my birthday is just 3 days afterwards, and one of my good friends while growing up (Kenda Gadish) birthday is on Halloween. After marriage my birthday was forgotten or put off three years in a row, mostly because of hunting!!! (that doesn't happen anymore) And one year even though it was remembered somebody feel asleep in the Restaurant!! But I'm not bitter anymore, I just laugh. In 2004, I didn't celebrate because all three kids had the chicken pox! I remember getting a chocolate birthday cake and not being able to eat it, because I was nursing Mason and apparently it didn't agree with his stomach. But then last year I will always remember because I went to the Boise Temple to take out my Endowments, Oscar met me in the waiting room there and then showed me my present - a new car, and then I was able to have lunch with some great friends. Yep I have some great memories.

This year I didn't have a party, but my loving husband Oscar took me out to dinner and waited until after we had ordered to give me my present. Two tickets to see TWILIGHT!!! WOW I was very excited. I guess he is starting to pay attention to things that interest me, plus I can't stop talking about it, and I have the countdown on the blog. Thanks honey you're the best!!

I had a few phone calls throughout the day one even with my sick sister and her kids yelling/singing Happy Birthday, thanks Sis. I even got to celebrate for a couple of days after, with well wishes and cute gifts. Thanks Jessica for the yummy lunch, next time we go without the kids *wink*

So I do this for my kids and family so I guess I have to do it for myself:

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birtdhay to me
Happy Birthday to Vicki
Happy Birthday to me!
