Anyway, I had the BEST birthday probably EVER! It started with us running a mile to help raise money for breast cancer research. It was so fun to do that with the kids. I was so proud of them for running the one mile! Hayden made me laugh when he said, "I'm going to be skinny after this." Then he made us proud when he sprinted through the finish line. Tyler did an amazing job seeing that he was struggling with his asthma the night before. Genevieve was happy sitting in her stroller. Anyway, we had a great morning!

Then we headed over to Mom's to hang out with Kayla and Bowe. We ate an enormous lunch at 2:00 then we had cake and ice cream and watched a little football *yawn*. At EXACTLY 5:00 we HAD to leave Mom's to go play Rock band at my house with Kayla and Bowe. Suspicious? Not yet. Well, we pulled up and I noticed that my lawn was mowed. I knew Wayne didn't do it because it was mowed the opposite direction. So, I thought, "how nice of someone to mow my grass for my birthday." Suspicious now? Nope. We head into the garage and I notice that our 6' and 8' tables are missing.....a light bulb goes off..... I kind of panic when I see the light under the laundry room door telling me that the kitchen light is on. I tell Wayne, "I don't want to open the door. I don't want to open the door. I don't want to open the door." I finally do and SURPRISE!!!! I have the best friends ever! Can I just say that I'm not good with surprises or anything that gives me too much attention from too many people. But I felt soooo special! Thank you soooo much for making my birthday amazing! I was a little bummed that my stomach couldn't possibly fit another bite in it after that amazing lunch, cake and ice cream from my Mom's house. However, I did manage to eat a slice of the best chocolate cake ever at my party.

Okay, so my birthday didn't end there. My actual birthday was the next day, Sunday. Wayne was gone early for bishopric meetings and I was sleeping in. Tyler peeks around the corner to see if I'm awake. I tell him to come on in. He has a sneaky smile on his face. He had a plan and I couldn't know about it. So, I took my shower, dried my hair, gave Genevieve a bath and got her all ready for church. FINALLY I was allowed to come downstairs. Tyler and Hayden had made me breakfast all by themselves.

The recipe is for blueberry muffins, but Tyler told me, "we didn't have blueberries so I figured I'd use cranberries instead." Such a smart boy! I'm so glad I have him help me in the kitchen so often. That breakfast was fantastic! He even cut up some apples to go on the side. I'm all about eating a balanced meal and he knows it.
