Another Birthday for me and Picture Revisions

Well yesterday I celebrated another birthday...(which one is not important)....I celebated with Marty taking me out Friday night to dinner (Bonefish Grill...fav place...had some bang bang shrimp, really good wine, and baja mango fish tacos and chips...oh sooo good) and then to a movie...Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McHunk (McConaughey). Really good movie and Marty even stayed awake thru the whole thing so it must have been good. Saturday I loaded and unloaded 80 bags of mulch for our yard. I've got just about all it spread and I probably need another 10 bags. Yes we have alot of mulch beds but it looks so good when it's done. Plus I like to mulch...instant gratification. I also had to fertilize the yard which I hate immensely....no instant gratification. We also had Blake's soccer game at 3p.m. and then it was off to Red Lobster to celebrate's Brett's report card. (The kid could eat his weight in shrimp and scallops...I told Marty not to let him try the lobster or his meals were going to get really expensive.) We got home in time to watch the Final 4 games and Butler is headed to the championship game....Go Bulldogs!! Brett and Blake gave me itunes gift cards so we could download more "rockin music" as Blake says for my ipod to play in the car. And I asked Marty for a scrapbook weekend that's here in Wichita at the end of the month. I'm really excited to attend this with my friends, Amie and Summer. It has been forever since I've scrapped so I'm hoping to be productive and get my list scrapped...yes I've made a list of what I want to get scrapped. The weekend starts at 10 a.m. on Friday and goes till Sunday at noon I think. I doubt I can scrap that much but I'm going to get in as much as I can stand, less a couple of hours on Saturday when I go to Brett's football game. Hopefully I'll have a post that says I accomplished my goal. Sunday was spent spreading more mulch in the 60 mph winds. I finally quit after my eyes were full of dirt. Hopefully tomorrow the winds will be minimal so I can finish. That about sums up my birthday. I have no pictures regarding my birthday but I do have a couple of pictures that I revised. These are pictures of Brett and Blake at 6 mo. I had them hanging in 5x7 frames in the hallway by their bedrooms with the placque you see below. I then found a 12x12 scrapbook paper about adoption that I just loved so I found a piece that had similar colors to it for Brett and then 12x12 frames. I finally got it all put together last week and I love them.
Blake's page says "adopted with love...one sought for you a home that she could not provide...the other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied".
I'd still like to find a paper that says something about first born or something of that nature for Brett but this will do till then.


April's here and lets hope spring is too.
