MY Happy Birth-Day Celebration:)

For my big "32" yesterday, my hubby had to work :( (but took me out to dinner tonight!)...but thank goodness for fam! My mom started off the day by bringing me special birthday balloons and my favorite coffee drink...Then off to town to breakfast with my sis, mom, and Kalani while my gracious dad offered to watch 6 kids!!! That alone is noteworthy! Thank you DAD! Here's a snapshot of what we walked into...hee hee...This is after a trip to the park, they were taking a "rest" :)

We got to finish a project we started a couple weeks ago at a little pottery shop and then headed home...Then off to Rocklin to celebrate with my grandparents who threw me a fun filled evening of yummy yummy food, yummy cake, and lots of fun! Thank you Gramps and Grams!...I just love my family!! Most of all, I thank God for giving me 32 years of life, and even though all those years were not used to glorify God, I am thankful that he has used those years to teach me and show me the life he rescued me from; a path that was filled with sin, selfishness, and who knows what!!! Thank You Savior for opening my eyes to my desperate state and great need to be forgiven and sealed for the day of salvation!!

I told all the kids that since it was "MY" birthday, the cake was "ALL" mine!!! "MINE...My CAke!" I told them!


Papa intervened on their behalf...

But was not very successful, or he just knew to do the bare minimum cause "paybacks" are hard to take....

Nana and Alina...

And finally I shared my cake (icecream cake) :)
