My Birthday

I've been really slacking in the month of July at posting. Between work, school, reading a couple of books and taking care of the kids I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write up a post. I can't promise to find more time to write. This summer still have lots of events left and I have a stack of books I want to read, and I'm only just over 50% done with my Accounting 1 class.

So about 2 weeks ago was my birthday. I can't believe how the years are just flying by. Aren't they suppose to be slow until you're older? Have I already reached the age where some of the years blur together and I'm not sure if it was this year or the previous when such and such happened? Ugh. I don't want to think about that right now. My birthday was pretty nice. We went to Lake Mills to go swimming, picked up some Subway on the way. Then went home and took a nap (I love naps if you didn't know that already). For dinner we went to the Great Dane and afterwards came back to the house for cake & presents. I received a Kindle Fire (which I love but still haven't actually read a book on it), some clothes, floor mats for my car (still have to clean it out so I can put them in), a new blender (really needed that) and a gift card to Boston Store (where I get my makeup). All in all I can't complain it was a nice birthday and I'm still glad I continue to take the day off of work each year.

Birthday Dinner

So we were suppose to be going to the Milwaukee Zoo today, but that got canned........darn! Stupid weather! Oh well I guess, we'll have to think of something else to do today........or just lounge around all day since it was a pretty crazy busy weekend.

So last night a bunch of us went to the Great Dane off of Cottage Grove Road to celebrate my birthday. I got a Cajun Chicken Sand which, and YUMMMMM it was so good! Scott got the Meat Loaf Again (we went there with the Jarrel Clan in March), and Connor got the Dinosaur Nuggets. Savannah ended up eating a sweet potato fry, green beans, and some baked apple with cinnamon on it. Afterwards the Veith side came over and we ate cupcakes and I got to open presents. I got a lot of Gift Cards to Best Buy, which is what I wanted, because I want to purchase a new digital camera before Disney next year. I also got some cook books I asked for, a school memory (for Connor) book, a Dale Jr. flash drive, a clear shower curtain (we needed!), a shirt, juicer, and a gift card to Marcus Theatres, which will come in handy cause we'll probably take Connor to go see Cars 2.

Swingin'

So I really should start getting ready for the day...........but I feel like being lazy right now, lol. After we do the strawberries & Jam, then we have a graduation party to go to, and then we are going to the Great Dane tonight for dinner to celebrate my birthday a night early, yummy, can't wait!

So after swimming in the pond, using the paddle boat, and then swimming a little bit in the pool we went over to the park. I have never put Savannah in a swing, and unless Jim & Pat have and I don't know about it, this was Savannah's first time in a swing. I got her giggling like crazy in the swing, I think she loved it! I can't wait until we get a swim set in our own backyard so I can take her on it more often (we got Connor one for his birthday that we are going to set up next Saturday, but shhhhhhhh he doesn't know!)
