Okay...I've been very aware of its coming for a long time...On October 13, 2010 I turned 40. I'm not afraid of the number
in fact, I embrace it. So far things have turned out pretty good for me with only a few bumps in the road. Bring on the next 40+.
In preparation for the big day, I told Wes that all I wanted for my birthday was for my sister to come from Chicago so that she, my mom and I could spend time together. Well, he pulled through and brought her out. I knew she was coming, but they surprised me and she came a day earlier than expected. We got pedicures, went out to eat, shopped and stayed up late chatting. They even babysat for me so that Wes and I could have a date. FUN FUN FUN. What a great week long celebration. I was so sad when everyone left, but then school started back up and all is right in the world.
During the kids two week fall break from school we got away for a few days and went to our cabin up in
Heber/
Overgaard. It was so beautiful, none of us wanted to leave. Wes made the kids stay outside all day on Saturday. I was the only one that could go inside so that I could make lunch and dinner. We went on many long walks and played made up games around the cabin.
After church on Sunday, we went for a ride to visit the Snowflake
LDS temple. It was beautiful, but we were sad that the fountain was turned off.
The kids all ready for church. What a beautiful bunch!
The kids and I took rocks and made a border around the driveway and walkway while Wes cleaned up the yard. I think it turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself.
All in all, the last few weeks have been wonderful and very memorable. I am looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas which are just around the corner. Bring on the holidays and all the fun, excitement and craziness that come with them!
Madison is Tinkerbell this year. What a beauty!
