35... that would be the birthday I just celebrated, and it was a special one! I was able to really take it all in, and just be so so thankful for all that God has blessed us with! I realized that for the past 6 years on my birthday I have either been sick and pregnant or had a newborn. Last year, I remember not even caring and just wanting September to get here so I could feel better. And next year I will getting my baby boy ready for kindergarten and their won't be a baby in the house or on the way. I want to cherish this year just like I was able to cherish my birthday. To enjoy every moment and just take it all in.
I was woken up by my sweet boy whispering "Happy Birthday Mommy!", and he even waited until 7:20 to wake me up:-) I created a boy that loves birthdays!!! He asked his dad to take him to get flowers and asked Ms. Linda if she would help him make a cake. I convinced him by cupcakes was great too. The first the he told Micah was, "Micah it is mommy's birthday. Say Happy birthday Mommy!" And he also got me a Monsters Inc. card and birthday donuts. I also had a special birthday lunch with sweet friends that definitely made me feel very loved and valued!
Did I mention I dyed my hair? 35 time for something different:-) Being sick last year on my birthday was so worth it to have our precious Reagan!
So blessed by my little blessings and awesome husband who is taking the picture!
Look at my beautiful flowers...orange of coarse
My card! And this is hilarious.... when you ask Micah what her name is she says, Mike Wazowski. Ha! That is the green guy in case you are wondering. She can barely say Micah Reece Bellamy but can say Mike Wazowski loud and clear.
How lucky am I?
Afternoon birthday swim with the Harpers...
A perfect ending to the day...Reagan likes to put herself to sleep so this rarely happens anymore. I enjoy it every time I can!
Reagan likes to eat her toes...
Cuddle time with my Micah...
This was this morning, and a reason I need my other camera ready. We officially have a roller. Mason and I were cooking breakfast and I looked at Reagan's mat and she was gone. I think she was rolling to see Mason's mess in the other room.
PS...we just watched Toy Story 3 for family movie night. Wow! Good movie but talk about sad and can get you a little teary eyed... another great reminder how quickly they will grow up. We kept telling Mason to stop growing up so fast, and he said he just has to grow up. I told him I will be the mommy crying when he goes to college but 1st kindergarten. Praying we can truly cherish every day of this year before we send our big guy off to school every day!
