Happy 43rd Birthday to Me!

By -

Always spoiled by my loved ones!

Lunch at Olive Garden
My birthday seems to always land on spring break.  Since we are not trip planners . . . we planned a little staycation for the weekend.  We did a few activities and stayed in a hotel for a night.
Painting plates at "Color Me Mine" was a definite highlight for the kids.  They all did such a great job!


Can't go on vacation without swimming in the hotel pool


Eating breakfast at the hotel and watching the news
While mom stayed home and enjoyed some quiet time . . . dad was a champ and took the kids to nickel Aracade.








Ending our fun weekend at a new pizza restaurant was recommended to us - Via131 - Did not disappoint.  I really love spending time with my family!

Pat and Rita wanted to join in on the birthday celebration with us.  They sang with us and ate cake!  So very sweett!

My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
