I had such a wonder full weekend and past week! My kids and family made a point to make my birthday a special event and they sure succeeded! Kaiden and Karsyn went to a benefit auction with my parents a couple weekends ago for a neighbor kid of ours(my parents) who was in a bad accident and is currently paralyzed. He has a little feeling in his leg and knees, so we are praying that we will continue to gain his feeling back. Instead of picking out things for them selves they did their birthday shopping for me! They each got to pick out an item and bid on it. This was very cool when they gave me the gifts because they told me about where they got it and how it was going to help out Josh. I was disappointed that I could be there so I am glad that my children were able to represent our family in the support we have for the family!
Kaiden got me a big Yankee candle and after buying it he smelled it and told my Mom, "I hope Mom keeps this at the office, 'cause it doesn't smell good". It is Rose scented and he didn't get to smell it before he bought it. I think it smells wonderful and yes it is staying at my office! I think of him everytime I look at it!
Karsyn got me a Chai Tea gift set, which is just awesome! I absolutely love Chai Tea and that is our special drink that we have together, as the kids love it too! Karsyn even had to have a Chai Tea Party for part of her last birthday. It was also a perfect gift!
The day before my birthday, my father-in-Law Lowell and the kids brought me a vase of 12 pink long stemmed roses. They were so beautiful and some of the most fragrant roses I have ever smelled! Lowell said he took the kids to the store and they got to pick them out. After a lot of arguing they finally picked them and I think they did a wonderful job. And finally my Birthday, we got up and headed for Sioux Falls. It was my Mom, Lowell and the kids. We headed out for day of school clothes shopping and I can't believe some of the cute clothes that we found!!!! Karsyn is very into skirts right now, so I got her some of those and decided that we can do tights and boots through the winter if need be! For Kaiden clothes aren't as exciting so we did a few less items but a little more $$$. He got the Broncos Jersey he had been wanting and a really cool pair of shoes, along with the standard t-shirts etc.
We had an awesome lunch and a Mexican restaurant and finished up our shopping so I could get Lowell and Justin back to Madison to play softball on Mike's team. They were short on players so they filled in for them. After the games Lowell wanted to take me out for a birthday drink, and since Mike had volunteered Justin to Ump the next set of games (which he was going to babysit for me), Mike went home with the kids and I went down for a Birthday cocktail! It was a wonderful day!!!!
Among that I got a lot of phone calls and emails from all sorts of family and friends to wish me a special day, so I was certainly spoiled and pampered and thanks to everyone for making it such a special day!! I am so blessed to have so many people that care about me and my family as well as for our health in which we so often take for granted!
