Birthday Celebrations

First off I would like to say a big THANK YOU!!! to all of you who prayed for me. Last week was such a good week with no stomach pain and very mild nausea. Prasie the Lord! It was like a breath of fresh air for me. Thank you all ever so much for your prayers. This week I'm doing good too. Still tired, but not as extreme as before, so that is nice.

Also want to say thank you to all who wished me a happy birthday in one way or another. It made my day. Thank you for the very kind e-mail, Megan. As always, you made me cry. I'm glad to have you in my life too. Very glad. :) Now if we could actually meet each other in person....

We have three birthdays on the same day here at the Flathead Valley. This year they all landed on Super Bowl Sunday. So we had a big party with lots of food and THREE cakes! yum. Debbie made my cake for me and did a beautiful job on it. Aunt Cathy baked me a red salmon, boy was it ever good. All in all it was a good day.

Monday Jacob took the whole family out to eat at Sizzler's. They have a special where the birthday person gets a free meal. yeah! lol I have to laugh when I think of how long it takes us to do things with so many little people in our family. We were at the restuant for 2 hrs! They had a baffet thing going so that is what we got. The kids ate the entire time we were there. Even Moriah, in fact, she was the last one to finish eating. It was so fun to watch her eat all these different foods she doesn't get at home like olives, pickled beets, kiwi, grapes etc. We al throughly enjoyed ourselves and got FULL. Elijah informed me that they cooked better I did. *laugh* Don't you just love honesty? Oh, guess what else Elijah said. We were leaving the restuant after my "cute" kids got some sweet grandmother to give them each a dime *shaking head* and the kids saw a dog. Elijah pipes up, "That's a girl dog....because it has ears that look like Mom's, only they are bigger...." ??????!!!!!????? What in the world did he mean by that??? Wait, wait, wait, you know,... maybe I really don't want to know....*laugh* I told Jacob that I'm going to get a complex from my own kid! hee hee

On to the garage, that mudding is just about done. Yesterday while we were out, we picked up some wallpaper books and have been looking through them to get ideas on how we would like to do our walls. Jacob is in charge of the bathroom and his office/guest room. We made an agreement that he gets to choose how to decorate the sm. bathroom now and when we got more money I'll get to decorate the bigger one. *big smile* Flowers, here I come! For the livingroom, we do something that we both like.

Ok time for pictures. Here is one of the 3 birthday people with our cakes. L to R Uncle David, Kari Beth (4), me. With three people taking pictures, it was hard to know who to look at.

My BEAUTIFUL, yummy cake made by my cousin Debbie.
