I just have to post about my birthday. My family was so nice to me. I had a super day---I don't even feel older...yet :)!

This is the cutest birthday cake I have ever seen. Savanna made it for me. It is a barn with farm animals. So good for that country heart of mine. It took her 7.5 hours. What a trooper. It was so cute, I had a hard time wanting to eat it.
Breakfast in bed!! Muffins, omelet, berry smoothie! It was YUMMO!!
A ring at the door, and a neighbor had this in hand. It's an ice cream cake. Holy cow, it was so GOOD!!
A quote from Karissa, "Mom, today I will not whine, complain or cry. I won't even tell you if Rebecca hurts me." (Can I have a birthday everyday?)
I got to listen to my choice of music, on Jessica's iPod, on Pandora. No one even complained as I sang to every 60's, 70's and 80's song I know!! :)

My new YELLOW purse.

Jessica hung birthday signs around the house.

Jessica wanted to get a present for me, however, I was in the car with her. She made me promise to close my eyes while she drove and got it. Hence, I got car sick. I do that easily. I had to eat pretzels.

Jessica picking out fresh pineapple for dinner she decided to cook for me.
Choosing the beef for dinner, too.
Savanna was in a junior high play called Mulan, Jr. I was a backstage Mom today, so I helped with that, and then we watched it as a family. It was fabulous.
Savanna with two of her friends right before the play started. They did 4 performances and sold out each one. What a great experience.
Whoosh!! I looked wiped out. This was after the play. I got some flowers and a pedicure at a day spa. What a fun day!! Here's to being 44!! Life is good!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie
