My birthday was wonderful. We spent the Saturday before my birthday with some great friends. I got a set of M&M mugs that were personalized. SWEET!

The Wednesday before my birthday, my husband and girls surprised me with a new scrapbook desk and chair. I had been using a card table that was not very spacious or sturdy. I had finally branched out from the closet to moving my stuff to the play room. I did go out and purchase a lamp since the lighting in the room is not that great after the sun goes down. I have been working on the Disney scrapbook since I was inspired by seeing someone else’s progress on theirs.

On Friday, we went out to eat with my husband’s family. Chicken Fajita Nachos are one of my favorite foods!

On Saturday, my actual birthday, we went to visit my grandparent’s and my mom. My mamaw fixed one of my other top favorite foods, spaghetti with tomato juice.

On Sunday, my cousin went to church with us and then out to eat at Red Lobster. Wow, my whole weekend was filled with favorite foods!

For Father’s Day, the girls and I got Matt some UT DVD’s that he has been asking for. We visited my grandparent’s again on Sunday and hung out with the family. Mamaw even cooked for us, which is a huge task since caring for my Papaw takes up so much of her time and energy.

This past weekend, we kept my nephew. I had promised that we would go to Chuck E. Cheese when he came down and he does not forget anything. He loved Chuck. After we left, he asked if that was Mickey Mouse and I explained that it was Chuck but he is a mouse too. My nephew says, “Can you tell Mickey to come see me too?” He is a riot. At Kohl’s, he found some John Deere shirts and says, “Oh My God. You have to buy me those.” He got to pick out two, one of which I am saving for his birthday pictures since he is doing his party in tractors. We went to Norris Lake on Sunday to see all of Matt’s family. They are staying for the week for the family vacation. The kids went fishing and then ate Strudel for supper.

We went back to see the family again on Tuesday and the girls went fishing again. I never would have thought that fishing would hold their attention for very long, since it never has in the past but they both stuck with it for quite some time. The girls were disappointed that they did not get to go swimming but I will have to make that up somehow.

This weekend will be another busy weekend. It seems that something is always going on. We planned to visit my grandparents today but I woke up not feeling well. We have church on Sunday, and a party on Monday. I would like to squeeze in a little sleep and maybe a little scrapbooking time somewhere along the way but my house keeps shouting “CLEAN ME” and I keep trying to drown that sound out.
