Can you believe that this is her 'clean' bath water?

I think it turned out pretty well!

I had been saving my hair highlighting kit for a while and decided that my birthday was a special time to use it. So, since my sister Kate wasn't here to help me, i had to rely on a tiny mirror to help me see the back and my years of experience doing it to other people. It was going okay, but i got to the point where i really couldn't see the back! So, i have to post a picture of my amazingly wonderful husband who was willing to help me! He did a great job and i'll post some 'after' shots of my hair soon.

We celebrated my birthday with friends over for brownies and ice-cream. They sang to me and we i blew out all 27 of my candles! This was the first time we have had ice-cream in our freezer since coming overseas!

I had alot of celebration for my birthday this year. On the 6th we went out to a coffee and dessert shop and purchased three of their specialties. We sat around and sampled the decadent chocolate cake, the "New York" cheesecake and carmel, cream crunch! It was a special treat!

Found my precious kids sleeping in similar positions tonight. I almost laughed out loud at Reese's pose, but remembered she was sleeping. Oh, how i love them!

Thankyou Shannon! We loved our crisp corn taco shells (only one broke on the way across the world!). We loved the canned refried beans that took seconds to open and microwave! We loved the taco seasoning that made the meat perfect! You thought of it all - we love and miss you!
