Life at 33

i love birthdays
i might not when the numbers are larger (who knows how large that will be)
but i love them
33 is great!
~~
i woke up to this smiling face
all of the others were still sleeping


mom and i spent the morning "running around," as bob puts it
then we went scrapbooking
it was a lovely surprise to have two gift cards handed to me when i signed in
thanks to max and amanda and to the sloans (whose third son was born this morning!)
a sweet friend joined us (forgot to take a photo!)
another dear friend stopped by with her beautiful daughters to
deliver a gift. see her back in the corner? she made that!

this photo was taken as we were checking out for the night...just
before the checker sang happy birthday to me over the speaker
believe me...i was red!

love it!


yum!
when mom came to the house at 10 am, she had this with her
when we got home at 9 pm. ... it became a little smaller!
(just a note...i'm not neglecting to take photos of ryan...he
was a sleep in the morning and at the races with dad in the evening)
our family minus one

on tuesday, we went to the caldwell night rodeo
you know, the one where the cowboys are the stars?
it was awesome...the amount of grit thosde cowboys and cowgirls has amazes me
i told ryan that there is no amount of money that would convince me to
get on a bull...nope, not even that much!
thanks to uncle max and aunt amanda for the "rotton candy"

amanda shared her duct tape knowledge
these are so much fun to make...well, except for one part...but besides that...


another dear friend (known her all my life) made this watch for me
isn't it awesome!
and she's gonna teach me how to make more bands...
sweet!
~~~
week two of year 33 will be spent in portland
mom and the kids and i are headed to portland to see some family, friends,
hopefully visit a nice warm beach (yep...wishful thinking) and
spend a few days receiving bread at boring
i'll try to pop in here and there
there's a give-away coming soon...who knows when...sometime in the next month or so
so keep your eyes peeled
i've been thoroughly enjoying my new sewing machine
(bob's birthday present to me)
but more on that later

The headband looks great! I tried to steal your watch from Dee! That cake is BEAUTIFUL! And you wear 33 so well! Glad it was a special day for you, my dear friend. I'm so glad to have you in my life!

Cas and Amy...as I've gotten
old(er), I've discovered how important friends are. Thanks for being mine.
