♥ Forty One-derful! ♥ Turning 41 Was Painless! ♥

♥ Hello Girlies!

I wanted to THANK YOU for all of those Sweet Messages, Emails and Tickles you sent me on my Birthday Saturday! I had such a wonderful day. This was the only birthday that I can remember that I let Danny & the Kiddos buy me something. It was hard to do that. You know how you always put yourself last. My day started off up in the Playroom where the kiddos made me a great party! They even made me a Very Creative Cake!

 

           

                                ♥ My Special Cake! ♥

 

Then I unwrapped a bunch of gifts from my babies. They used their Pillowcases & Sophia’s Baby Blankets to wrap up some of their own Treasures just for me!

 

 

Then we came down stairs where I opened a few more presents. I had recently heard a song by Amy Winehouse and thought she had such a wonderful voice. The kiddos & Danny got me two of her CD’s. If you get a chance to take a listen to her sometime you will love her voice to. I can’t say I can relate to her Lyrics though.

 

 

I even got three pair of Sandals, which I wear year round! Danny gave me a Bouquet of my most favorite flowers…Pink Gerber Daisies!

 

           

 

Then I opened up one of the nicest gifts I’ve ever received (besides my babies & Danny). A Nikon D-60 DSLR Camera!!! It came with 3 DVD’s, Nikon 18-55mm VF Lens, Nikon 55-200mm Zoom Lens, Nikon Camera Bag and a HP Officejet All-in-one (Copier, printer, photo printer, Fax…blah, blah, blah). I have always had my Daddy’s old cameras. This is so exciting! There are so many buttons that I have no clue what to do with them. I am also one of “those people” that don’t like to read instructions! So I’m hoping those DVD’s teach me all I need to know. This is the Camera that they show on that T.V. commercial with Ashton Kutcher at a Wedding. This is a really big gift for me. I don’t buy fancy things for myself. I’ve never had an iPod or Cell Phone. But my Kiddos mean THE WORLD to me. Having this nice camera will help me capture all the special moments and just day-to-day moments. That will make them last forever…

 

            

 

                ♥ Bye-Bye old camera!! (just kidding) ♥

 

             

            

             

                       ♥ There Was Even Dancing! ♥

 

My beautiful Sister, Lisa called but I missed her call L . My sweet Daddy called me and sung Happy Birthday on my answering machine! It is so darn cute…I wish I could put it on here so you could hear him. I called him back and sung “I love My Daddy…Of Yes I Do!“. Then to my surprise my Mama called (yes I missed that call to). She left a sweet message and said, “I love you baby!”. That made me cry! We spent the rest of the day outside. We ordered Pizza and I tried out the camera...So exciting & scary!

 

              

  ♥ Danny took these of the Kiddos & I with the old camera ♥

 

Later I opened up the Bath & Body Works basket I received from CafeMom. I felt so spoiled this day! Then at desert time everyone sang Happy Birthday to me with a candle in my Carrot Cake!

          

          

 

Enough photos of me? LOL! Turning 41 was totally painless! You all and my precious family truly made my day Extra Special! Today (June 11) in my Mama's 61th Birthday and tomorrow is Danny's Big Lockheed Martin Interview. I have everything crossed (so typing is pretty hard!). Oh…This morning to my surprise one of my photos of Olivia was picked to be in the Nikon D-60 Moving Moments Gallery for their new contest! But there are a ton of photos on there!
