BiRtHdAy!!!











I turned 25 on Thursday. It was a great day. Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes. I got some sweet presents this year. Hilary got me a way cute bracelet. Thanks Hil. But here is another post about my sweet, thoughtful husband. First he took me to lunch while Hilary watched the girls. Then he got off early and sent me off to a massage. It felt great. He told me to call him when my massage was over before heading home. When I called he told me to go read my book somewhere for 30 minutes then call again. Which I did, and he still wasn't ready for me to come home yet. By this time, I'm thinking....wow is he cleaning the house? Cooking me dinner? I had no idea. When he said I could finally come home there was nothing different about the house, I did notice the girls were bathed, but couldn't understand why he kept me away. He told me I wasn't allowed in the computer room and that is when I noticed a sound coming from within. It sounded like an air pump. I was soooo confused! He kept going in an out and wouldn't let me in. Finally around 7:30pm, he said I could see my present. Hilary had just arrived and brought carrot cake and cupcakes. So she was obviously in on the plan. Jeff brought out a large present. He said I had to open one thing at a time. The first was a card from him and the girls. It said the girls got me the massage and a cute baby sweater....Huh? That is when I pulled out the next present and it was a cute brown and pink jacket, but that is not what caught my attention. It was the cute baby feet prints in glitter paint and a G and M that caught my eye. Then it all made sense. While I was getting my massage, Jeff was sweating trying to get the girls to cooperate and make feet and hand prints on this jacket. And the noise was a blow dryer and fan to get it to dry in time for me to open it. I LOVE it! It is sooooo priceless. Jeff went through a lot to get it done, especially with the girls who just loved getting all dirty. That is why the girls were bathed too! The next present was a dozen cookies from a bakery that I love. The last present was a printout of a hair straightener and money to get my hair done. My flat iron has been broken forever. I always get the $50 ones and they keep busting within a year. So this time he bought me one that is supposed to be better than the Chi. My sister Kelsey researched it on the Internet for him. So thanks! I can't wait to get it in the mail and try it out. So with that money what should I do? I'm definitely growing my hair out, but I can't decide what color to dye it. Highlights? One solid color? I know I want it lighter. I look better with light hair with my complexion. So help me out!!! Thanks Jeffrey! I love you soooo much. Thanks to everyone for your gifts and thoughts. I forgot to say that their hand prints are on the front of the jacket. Don't have a pic of it though, okay bye.

{Happy Birthday} How fun... If I remember right- You got spoiled last year too! :) I'm glad that you got spoiled again...
Your hair is getting long- I'm trying to grow mine out as well- You are much more patient though to take the time to straighten it. I don't have the time or patience for that!
Love the jacket! :) SUPER CUTE!

Jeff cetainly makes it hard on other husbands. He is remarkable. We are so grateful he is your husband. Thanks Jeff for making Lea's birthday so fun and special. Even I'm a little jealous that Rick has never done stuff like you do. The girls are as beautiful as ever. They sure pull at my heart strings. Lea, you are blessed, I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday. Love you, mom and dad.
