thinking about: my hubs. getting old. life. love. joys. struggles. heartbreak. thankfulness.

reading: love & respect. depending on what mood i'm in it's ok. i want to push thru it but it's really hard. there is some good/interesting info in there . . . but idk, kinda boring i guess.

listening to: the sound of pdubs playing with his boys outside on a blanket in this amazing weather. it's his 40th birthday today. he took the day off work and he wants to just hang out and relax.

AND the new ingrid michaelson cd. it is streaming for free today on iTunes. i LOVE her!

watching: catching up on all the modern family episodes. man oh man do i laugh out loud at that show. so funny. also watching a video we are making for our school's staff appreciation night. which lead in to digging thru old photos to find pics of teachers. which lead into a trip down memory lane. we have been at that school for 6 years. i love it.

thankful for: my husband! we celebrated his birthday yesterday doing his favorite thing. hanging out with friends and family in the park. we had tacos, cervezas and soccer. we were surrounded by wonderful friends and family. the weather was amazing. the tacos were delicious. the children were wild. fun was had by all.

the kids were VERY excited to make him his cake. they were VERY excited about how big it was and that they did it all on their own.

we couldn't get him away from the soccer game, so i sent all the kids out to go get him. they succeeded.

these were our talented cooks. i told them to smile. i was even telling them to get cheek to cheek… but they wouldn't crack a smile. until after i had taken the photo.
