Nice! Happy BDay! 28.... wew, getting dangerously close to 30. Mine is coming soon.
Just wanted to stop by and wish you a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (I don't know if you remember me, I was in your ward in Nampa for a while - and what a small world, I took some stamping classes from your sister-in-law Caitlin!)
Love your blog!
Thanks Rachel! I love to see what everyone is up to on blogs too. That would be funny if we'd been in the hospital at the same time. No I didn't make my background - I got all the digital items from shabbyprincess.com and my husband did the background/header design. I like to cut and paste with actual paper :)
Happy Birthday, what a day you had.....ugh, not much of a relaxing one though. But then again, is there ever a relaxing day with 3 kids???? Nope. Not till they are all old enough to be left alone......a good 10 yrs or so huh? :)
I hope you had fun regardless of the everyday mommy stuff.
What the heck are you doing all that work on your birthday for??? That's what hubbies and kids- I mean slaves are for- one day a year won't hurt them!!! Are you serioulsy on book #4 now? What do you think?
Happy Birthday! It doesn't sound like you had much down time! What a busy birthday, hope you had a good one!
Oh, Rach - I am so sorry I forgot your birthday!!! I feel extra bad because you remembered mine last month. Sounds like you had an average day with a few perks. Just know I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Rachel,
I just finished Breaking Dawn and Adam is reading it now. Happy Birthday!!! I love reading your blog to see what you guys are up to.
Love ~ Adam and Lauri
