So, I got Older

It's the time of year again...  The time were I wake up and find out that I'm older than I was the day before.  I magically get just a little older.  The odometer ticks up.  Instead of being 30, I'm officially *in* my 30's.  It's funny how that sounds, because I really don't feel any older than 20.  My husband likes to remind me, however, that I am getting old!  (Of course, he will also be 7 years older).  I'm grateful for a wonderful husband who makes me want to be a better person, gives me the strength to do hard things, and loves me unconditionally.  I'm definitely blessed.

To celebrate my birthday, I met up with a good friend from college (Jennifer Traynor), and her 3 fun loving kiddos.  We haven't seen them since Preston was born.  It was good to get together.  We went to the newly remodeled and renamed I.d.e.a. Museum in downtown Mesa.  It was fun.  It would have been even more fun if the exhibit were open (it opens Friday).  They have changed it to be even more hands on, which I love.  We got to do some crafts:

 Dance in a lazer dome that makes noises when you move:
 Draw with Ipads (my kids never get to play with computers, so this was a treat):
 Go camping in a black light room:


 And play dress up:




 Happy Birthday to me!
After the museum and naps, my good friend, Amy, offered to take the older kids so I could have some fun time without them.  Brandon got off work early and we went to Bahama Bucks, then people watched for a while.  It was fun.  Then we got the kids, ate dinner, sang "Happy Birthday" and ate some lemon brownies.  It was good old fashion fun!  I love my family!
