Another Birthday and Family Crafts.

This past Thursday was my day to turn 29. Although it's a harsh reality to be that much closer to 30, I had a great day that included a lunch date with Brandon and NO kids. (My mom offered to babysit for us). It was wonderful! While we were out and Cati and Braden were at school, my mom supervised as the boys baked me a cake. She let them do all the work, including cracking the eggs into the bowl...brave woman. It was a great cake and so special to me because it was made with love by my boys.


That night also happened to be family fun night. We took a suggestion from Cati and Braden's counselor a few weeks ago and now plan something special to do as a family every Thursday. Last week was a craft project. Everyone enjoyed crafting, even Brandon and my mom. Reese, as you will see, enjoyed painting both his craft and his body. What a fun kid he is turning out to be. I just love him to pieces!

Now I just have to work on embracing my age and stop worrying so much about turning 30 next year. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it sure does. Like my dad says...turning 30 is better than the alternative. I guess he's right.
