Birthday Weekend

I spent my birthday with my girls! It was all I could ask for!

Alyce and Caleb stopped by to give me a birthday present and spend some time with me and the girls! I got the new novella from the Twilight Series and a bag of skittles! (Thank you!) When Charles got home, we headed to his Mom's house to have black cherry jell-o cake and open presents! I got 2 shirts and another copy of the novella! Now I'm just waiting for the first Twilight graphic novel! ;)

I got a call from my doctor right before we sang Happy Birthday... it was not the call I wanted to get on my birthday. I'll explain more once I know more about what's going on with me. For now, keep me in your prayers! I definitely need them.

Back to my birthday! Charles and I headed to the store to pick up the take-and-bake pizzas for my party and headed home to bake them. This is how we were dressed up for my Hawkeye: Black and GOLDen Birthday Party!

The girls looked so gorgeous! :) They were a blast! We tried to get a "family" photo but they didn't turn out very well... :( Oh well! The two above sure did! Mikey and Megan drove down for my birthday party! (Thanks you two!) We invited our friends Mike and Karmen, the Missionaries, Jenny, and Matt. It was a full house! We ate, talked, and played Apples to Apples! It was a fantastic game! I only got one green apple card because I BEGGED my Husband to pick my card so I wouldn't look like the "goof who has no cards" when everyone else had at least 2 by that point!

The category: Dirty.
My card: The Dump!
WIN!
We enjoyed some store made cupcakes! I picked these because I LOVE the Care Bears! :)

They were probably the best cupcakes I have ever had before! The frosting was soooo delicious! They were awesome! Everyone left our house around 10 because we had to get Caity to bed! Mikey and Megan stayed the whole weekend at our house, and we had a busy day on Saturday!

Saturday Morning, Caity was in a super good mood and was giving everyone kisses! Even Mikey's dog, Shorty!
Did I mention that she gives kisses with her mouth open?!? Yeah... hilarious! We drove to Red Oak for my Mom's house! It was nice to see my family! My parents got me a storm radio! Mainly becuase we only pick up PBS stations with our crappy DTV system. So I asked for the radio so that I can keep up on bad weather when it happens to arise! My Aunt Norma got me wonderful lotion! It smells like Love Spell from Victoria's Secret! SOOO good! I had all my siblings there and it was wonderful! By the time we got back home, we were exhausted!

We had a wonderful weekend with Mikey and Megan! They stayed until 5 Sunday evening! We headed to Charles' Mom's house for dinner. They wanted to visit teach me for the month!

Mikey and Megan had the wonderful idea to gift me with 23 things that remind them of me! In the picture below, there are most of the things that I got! Here's the list and reasons!

1.) Pink Ball - I love the color pink ;)
2.) Hawkeye sign - I love the Hawkeyes!
3.) Insect rubber bands - I hate insects!

10.) Grill stickers - I always send a picture of the "perfect grill lines" Charles has on our steaks!
