You say it's your birthday...

My MOST favourite day of the whole year is definitely my birthday!! I love it!! Even more than Christmas. It's the only day that's all about me. What more could I ask for? I had dinner with my family a couple of weeks ago and my Mom made me a Turtle birthday cake. It was the best. I have been collecting turtles for years (I think I have over 200 of them) and my Mom loves giving me turtles. I seriously think my cake this year was one of my favourite turtles ever!! And it was yummy!

I don't think it matters how old you get, there's nothing like your Mom baking you a birthday cake.
My actual birthday was this past Saturday and my main man made me a wonderful dinner and hung streamers and blew up balloons and we had a couple of friends and the kids join us. It was awesome. Seriously, there is nothing I like better than my birthday!
Happy 41st to me!!

There's a kid in me....

A couple of weeks ago we went to Huntsville with some friends for the weekend. They have access to a condo at the Grandview Resort and we had a blast. These friends have two small children (2 & 4) and the four year old was having a hoot going down the slide over and over again. I just HAD to try it out. So, while I can hardly believe I'm posting a picture of myself in my bathing suit on my blog, I had to share that I was more afraid of hitting the water than the four year old was. Check out that look on my face!! It was fantastic and for some strange reason I was proud of myself for giving it a go!! When do we start worrying about looking like a kid and start missing out on all the fun?? I also played tennis for the first time ever that weekend and I think I did pretty good!! This loving life thing rocks!!!
