Two birthdays and an Anniversary

           Many years ago when I was dreaming about what my family would be like I never thought this would happen.  We celebrated Matt's 34th birthday, on the 5th of August, by going to see "Rise of the Plant of the Apes" with his brother and wife.  The movie was really good and a must see again.  Not much of a Plant of the Apes fan as a child but this definetly peeked my interest to watch all the movies.  Matt doesn't like the fact that he is getting older so birthdays aren't made a big deal for him.  He still looks good for a man in his 30's.

         Next we celebrated 12 years of wedded bliss.  When we got engaged and were deciding on the date the choices were the 6th of Aug or the 13th of Aug.  That year the 13 was on a Friday.  I don't really believe in the superstition but it just didn't sound nice being married on Friday the 13th.  I made a promise to Matt when we decided on the 6th that we would always celebrate his birthday and our anniversary sperat. Since we had just moved back to Oklahoma we still had a lot of things to do and we just had a quit evening at home with the kids.   Looking forward to an eternity with this wonderful man who is my best friend.

     Last of all 5 years ago we added the caboose of our family.  I was induced on the 7th of August.  She wasn't due until the 14th of August but that was the first day of school for my two oldest.   My Mom and sister were able to come out and help that week but the next week my sister started school.  So we decided to have her on the 7th of August.  This year is a big year for her.  She has started Kindergarten and finally going to school.  She is so excited.  They grow up so fast.  Happy Birthday to my sweet Noelle.

  We celebrated with family.  She was way excited for her chocalte cake with pink frosting.  She was talking about her birthday almost two weeks before it was here.  Happy Birthday little Elle.  Looking forward to the many adventures to come.
