Birthday Weekend

I dont typically call attention to my own birthday, but this year was particularly fun because of several events surrounding my birthday.  It all started on Wednesday evening with a fun night out of the house (which rarely happens!!).  Then on Thursday I spent the morning running errands and that afternoon my college roommate, Jana, came in from Oklahoma and spent the night with us.  We laughed, talked about kids, our lives, old times, etc.  She even brought red velvet Sprinkles cupcakes to share.  We're such nerds in the picture below:  inter-locking our arms while taking a bite of our cupcake!  

Then on Friday (my actual birthday) we ate some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato basil soup from La Madeline (I can still feel all those calories).  I mean, who doesn't love La Madeline?  And our precious baby-sitter Angie sent me the edible arrangement as a surprise.  How sweet of her!!!

My oldest sister Cary drove in from Midland a little after lunch that day.  We spent some time sitting around the house and visiting until the boys woke up from their naps.  It wasn't long before we decided we should take Colt to the doctor.  All the boys had been coughing and seemed a little under the weather :(  So, before making a dinner run to Mattitos (and single-handedly inhaling a bowl of Bob Armstrong queso), we made a pit-stop long enough to find out Colt had a right ear infection and an upper respiratory infection.  We later found out Luke had an URI along with double ear infections and Jack has an URI.   Happy birthday to me, right??  Poor babies... :(

Cary was documenting the office visit and ended up taking a selfie.  Haha

On Saturday, Cary and I got to spend the whole day together.  We ate tons of food, lounged on super comfy couches while watching the Tech game and then finished the night off with dinner and a showing of Captain Phillips (which was super tense but excellent) at Studio Movie Grill.  We had originally planned to go to the Jason Aldean concert that night, but it got rained out :(. That just leaves something for next year, right?

So I would definitely say this was a fantastic birthday!  I loved getting to see friends and family as well as texting and talking to many other people that day!  Fun, fun, fun!!!
