The day after my Birthday



This week has been crazy... Aaron and I stayed home from School on Monday because I had a bad cold and so did Aaron. On Tuesday I thought Aaron was ok to go back but when he got home he told me that his mouth had a boo boo...automotically you think "oh no" then I touched him and he was burning up... 103.00 I was crazed and took him to Beaumont. The Dr. looked at his throat and sure enough he had this infection "Hands, foot and mouth" anyways... no too much you can do about it because its a virus (I so hate them) so he stayed home with Daddy on Wednesday... He still has a cold but is doing better!!! Last night we did not do much for my Birthday because we still have colds but tonight I am going to see my Cousin Paco in a play and tomorrow Mark is taking me to my favorite place to eat...My awesome sister Robin surprised me at work yesterday and brought me doughnuts and the wonderful girls at work got me awesoem presents and a "TA DA" a traditional Michigan desert..... BUMPY CAKE!!!

rain, rain, and more rain....

Today Aaron and I ventured out into the nasty cold rain to ride the carousel at Lakeside with our Cousin Victoria... We had lunch at Panera bread where Aaron's Mamo and Papas were sipping coffee with their friends... We had a good day and now Aaron and I are going to take (hopefully) a long winter's nap... I am a stickler with naps but I usually let Aaron stay up at night until he becomes crabby!! That't it for now folks.. pretty boring...

just a few more...






and here is the last of the girl's day out...

I have to just say the Fire Engine ride was well worth the $2...

Girls Birthday day out....






Today was awesome...All the girls in Mark's family (he has no sisters so its my Sister in Law, me and my Mother in Law all the have a birthday within a couple weeks of each other) if you think thats great the Brothers all have a birthday within a couple weeks of each other including Mark's Dad... and guess what... yep you guessed it... The 2 Grandchildren are exactly 1 yr and 9 days apart... isn't that cool!! We started today by going to the Crackerl Barrell in Port Huron and then to Ruby Tree farm... It was a beautiful day and usually we only go on the wagon ride (only $2) but because the wagon driver told us how much better the Fire Engine ride was we did both for only $4 a person!! My family has been going to Ruby Tree Farm for years and Mark's family back in the 80's actually got a Christmas tree from there. When we got home I served Chicken Enchiladas and S got a awesome Birthday cake!! Here are some pics...
