It's Your Birthday.....Shake your........

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me! I knew the time was going to come when I had to start repeating my 21st birthday, and what better time to start then on my 26th birthday. I know I am getting older, taking on more responsibility, and all that hoopla—BUT I do not feel like I should be this old! Time is passing by quicker then I originally anticipated. As much as I love my little Brayden, I think he is helping the time pass even quicker! I know trying to savor every moment with him is extremely important to Mike and I. Brayden is soooo CUTE, and not to mention has two little girlfriends at school.

One little girl is Gracie, who is adorable. She is dressed to impress everyday and just too cute. She and Brayden (apparently) do everything together up at Daycare. They even (somehow) manage to sit next to each other at the table when they eat! Now how do you like that (As my Dad would say). The other little girl is my friends daughter, and when Brayden was not as school yesterday (I was told by his teacher), that Jessa (little girl) was looking for Brayden and said, “No Brayden?” What a little tushie-monster Brayden is!!!!!! I know this had NOTHING to do with my Birthday, but I had to share this information so in like 10 yrs. Brayden can know he had a girlfriend and was not even two-years-old yet! Seriously, though, Mike and I are so proud of our little/big boy and thoroughly impressed with his level of intellect.

All right, we know it was my Birthday yesterday and the reason I am even writing this post is to share how it all went. To start, Brayden wakes up at 2 a.m. just my luck on my birthday—Brayden does not want to sleep. THEN, he wakes up again at 4 a.m. and at this point I say forget it and stay awake. This little boy is something else! He wanted to go sit on the couch downstairs and watch MOUSH (AKA: Mickey Mouse!). Anyway, we are all up by 5 a.m. moving around. Brayden stayed home with Daddy sine Mike was off work and Brayden did not want to sleep. Therefore, I went to school and had a productive day. I was not able to come home until after 4 p.m. Hmmmmm???????? Why not, I wonder! Lol Of course, I could not study, focus, concentrate, or get anything accomplished because I wanted to know what my surprise was!

Finally, I leave school and head home. Now that my drive was cut from 40 to 25 min. life is GREAT! Therefore, I am cruising down the street, reach for the garage door opener, open the garage, and there it is! My brand new, high-speed, state of the art—Treadmill! I love my hubby (and Brayden)! What a superb Birthday present. That is the one thing I have been looking forward to after getting this house was a treadmill, because we could actually use it! How exciting.

After all the excitement with the treadmill, the next order of business is CAKE! Honestly, I would have been completely satisfied with that! Ha-ha, I guess when you do not eat sweets that often, cake for your birthday is a treat! As I suspected, there was cake! Once again, I love my hubby and little-monster boy! Mike spent all afternoon putting the TREADMILL together so we decided to go eat Mexican food for dinner. We went to a very nice place that has AMAZING food, very authentic.

Therefore, we ate, ate, and ate. Felt sick, but had one order of business left! CAKE! After we got home, we went and sang Happy Birthday and ate cake! Brayden (surprisingly) just wanted his milk. You know you LOVE milk when you pass on cake for some milk. Whose kid is this? Hahahah All in all, I had a great birthday!

Thank you, Mike and Brayden! You two are the bestest! Love you boys!

CAKE-
