30 TODAY!

Yes it is my Birthday today and I just turned 30!!  It is actually the BEST feeling to be 30.  You might laugh but I actually finally feel like a real woman!  I have four amazing kids. A wonderful hard working husband.  I own a van!  I have a HOME (well not really we are still renting)  but we are finally on our feet!  It is the best feeling in the world!

It has been a wonderful fast Sunday.  We also had a wonderful talk in Young Women's on the Godhead.  I believe in God our Heavenly Father and in His Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.  Our Heavenly Father loves each one of us.  He sent his son down to Earth to show us the way to return to his presence. The Holy Ghost can be with us always if we are worthy and can help guide us through this mortal life.  I am excited for my new calling in YW as the Beehive teacher.  It will be great being able to learn how to teach by the Savior's example.  The girls are so fun and so talented!

We had an amazing dinner at the van Beevers home.  Grilled chicken and rice with awesome salads!  It was great not having to make dinner on a FAST SUNDAY and my Birthday!!  Then we had cake and ice cream which my kids picked out and Daddy baked!!  It was hot pink cake with purple frosting!!!  So bright and fun!!  It is so FUN being soooo close to family!!!  I still have the dream of living in San Diego but every day it gets harder and harder to ever feel like we could leave all our family that lives sooo close!

We love our neighborhood.  We love biking everywhere.  We love the sun.  The heat.  The parks that are close.  It has been a fun adventure being here.  Wish we could only have the rest of our cousins close!!!!  The other day in the car ride home (just myself)  I was getting soo antsy to be a dance teacher!!!  I just want to start dancing and putting together pieces and having a SHOW!!!  It excites me so much but then makes me nervous because it takes a lot of work and time.  I love being a MOTHER MORE THAN ANYTHING!!!  I don't want to miss that time with my kids.  It sure is fun watching my kids learn and grow.

Tonight the best moment was watching my littlest one fall asleep in between his siblings in the BIG BED while holding his little PERCY the train in his hand!!!!  It is so sweet watching them all snuggle together and fall asleep.  My baby is now 2 and it makes me a little sad that he is growing up so fast.  I do love my FAMILY!!!  It has been A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
