Happy Birthday to Me....

Yesterday was my birthday and I actually got some pictures of the event!  I love this camera so much, I find excuses to use it and have others learn how to use it!  Now, mind you, I am coming off a 5 day migraine (ughhhh), so I don't look very well.  I went to the ENT yesterday morning and he added a couple new prescriptions.  I am praying they work!


My Angie-Bunny and her mother, Tina.  Angie calls me "Granny", by the way.  I tried getting her to call me "Me maw" when I got back from the south, but she replied, "But your name is Granny!"  Incidentally, Angie started calling me "Granny" when she was about 2.  At first, I was like... "Gee thanks, kid", but it really grew on me.  No one knows where she came up with that as she calls her other grandmother "Grandma".  


 Casi joined in the coloring fun with Angie and Tina.  Note the hockey game in the background.  Yea, we are sick like that :)



And then there's my babies...Tayelor and Jacy.  Taye has a bit of a stomach bug, so she doesn't look real good, either :(



And, of course, Herr Lukas just is not happy until he sticks his nose in there.  Always has to be the center of attention!



Here's the fun part.....Presents!  Mike got me tons of metalworking tools this year.  I have been thinking of taking my jewelry in a new direction...bet you can't guess where it is going!  I'll post pics of the tools I got...



So, it's cake time and Angie's birthday is next.  As the tradition goes, the birthday person makes the first cut and the next birthday person pulls the knife out...



Well, it went all well with me helping Angie pull the knife out...but then she watches me cut the cake in glee saying "Granny, I wanna do that..."



To which I, of course, answer "No, Angie.  This knife is big and I don't want you to get hurt."

Well, you can imagine what came next...



Now I did it.  She is mad at Granny.  And to make matters worse, she doesn't give up...(look to the bottom left corner)



Don't worry, Uncle Jacy came to the rescue!



She loves her Uncle Jay!  They settle down to play a video game together :)

Now, remember the colored frosting on the cake?  There is a joke that the woman who makes the cakes uses toxic plutonium icing colors.....


You see why?  Your mouth is stained with the colors!  We all walked around with purple tongues!  I would post a picture of that, but it is far too gross!


Ugghhhhh.  I hate migraines.  Especially on my birthday....

Happy Birthday, Boo!

My baby turns 14 today! I'm happy for Jacy, but sad for me. He's my baby, after all. He'll be driving in two years...sheesh! Where does the time go?


I am actually very lucky to have him. When I was four months pregnant, a young woman side-swiped my car. I barreled out of the car so fast, yelling at her that I am pregnant. Well, I must have scared her because she drove away. I was so pissed! Later that night, her father shows up at my door yelling at me for yelling at her and insisting the accident was my fault. I explained that she passed me on the left just as I was getting ready to turn left into my driveway, then the kids' father comes storming in the room telling the father he was going to sue them because it was clearly his daughter's fault and I am pregnant. The father apologized and somehow managed to leave without leaving insurance or contact information. I started hemorrhaging the next day.

I almost lost him and was on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, continuing to hemorrhage. So, you see, when Jacy has a birthday, it really is a special event for me (and him!). I almost didn't have the opportunity to celebrate his birthday every year :)
