Happy Birthday to me!

So yesterday was my birthday and since last year I spent the day throwing up I really wanted to have a good day this year. I was lucky that my bday fell on a Tues. this year so Bobby already had the day off work and we decided awhile ago that we would spend the day up at Bear Lake. Overall it was a great day but I learned a couple things:

1. Tyler gets carsick... BAD
And this picture doesn't even do it justice-not that you'd want to see the picture that does-it was completely soaked into his carseat which then dripped onto the actual seat and seeped into the seat of the car. I gag just thinking about it.


We had to pull over, strip him down and wash out his bathing suit.


Thankfully on our way up to the lake we stopped at a grocery store and bought a case of bottled water-which is what we used to wash out his suit, the carseat, and the car. We used more than half the case!


It took us close to an hour to get everything cleaned up and Tyler had to ride the rest of the way there on the plastic seat since the cover was soaking wet!

You can imagine how wonderful the car smelled the rest of the way there and how even better it smelled on the way home after it'd been baking in the HOT sun for 6 hours! Anyway, moving on...

2. I need to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in the car at ALL times
This is just self-explanatory.

3. Kylee LOVES sitting in the sand letting the water hit her legs


Giggling because the water was hitting her toes


4. Instant self-tanner with an SPF of 8 should NOT be used in the place of sunscreen
No picture of this, but trust me I hurt.

5. I have GREAT friends/family
Every person in my family called that wasn't at "home" and then those that were at home called and sang me happy birthday. It's my favorite thing ever and I look forward to it every year! Then several fun girls stopped by my house last night with birthday wishes and stayed and chatted with me. I LOVE having such great friends here that make me laugh SO much! One of them even took the time to make me cookies that didn't have any dairy so I could have a treat on my bday. It was so sweet and they were delicious!!

6. Bobby WILL pull through, even if it is at 11:00 at night.
Obviously Bobby is busy, but I won't lie and say that when 10:30 rolled around and all my friends had left and Bobby didn't have any sort of birthday treat for me I wasn't slightly dissapointed. Okay really dissapointed. I know, I'm totally a snot! So I sulked for a little bit and then gave up and jumped in the shower. To my surprise when I got out, Bobby had gone and come home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, some non-dairy ice-cream, and some salt and cracked pepper chips (my current favorite). He said he had been planning to do that all along, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was the silent treatment I gave him for the 15 min. after my friends left that guilted him into it. Ha Ha, I'm so thankful he still loves me! It was the perfect ending to a great day!

7. Being 26 is FABULOUS
'Nuff said.

8. I love my small family more than ANYTHING in this world. Like really. They are the best thing that ever happened to me. I just wanted them to know that.










*Sorry no pictures of me on my special day (I know you're all devastated) due to the camera battery dying less than an hour after we'd been there.

Thanks to all those that called, sent cards/facebook messages, texted me, and/or came over and visited. You made it such a special birthday for me. It's so nice to be remembered and appreciated! I love you all!!
