And...The Neglected Blog Award Goes To.....

Hey there Friends!  


 How have you been?!?  


It's been like one cashew short of a nut house here!


So, let's do a quick recap (and then I promise, I'll try harder to be a better blogger, mkay?) 


A couple of weekend's ago, we had a wild and crazy girls weekend in Madison--hung out with friends that Friday night and then met up with more the next morning for the farmers market :)   Total Awesomesauce!   


So much so, that this is the ONLY pic I have....Amber, darling, I'm going to kidnap Krystal's phone and ransom those photos!!! (or maybe it's best for them not to see the light of day lol)
This week, I celebrated the big 34.   I was having a bit of a hard time with it, I mean...34...how did that happen?!?  But then I got to thinking...would I really want to stay in my 20's?  No, not really!  I kind of like this stage of our life...kids are fairly independent, I'm secure in my relationships and who I am....I think 34 will be a good year for sure!


After going to the dreaded Secretary of State office to renew my license, the boys and I met up with Krystal and her boys to hang at the splash pad/mini putt/skate park.   Perfect place for a mom's birthday?  Sure thing---boys were occupied and happy which means mom can be occupied and happy ;)   Krystal was sweet enough to bake me some birthday cake protein bars too!  Yummy!!!


One quick stop at Sam's Drive In for a dipped cone and I'd say my birthday was complete!  (well, until a couple of hours later when we all stuffed ourselves on pork chops and corn on the cob at my parents!).   Seriously, I LOVE these boys!!!!!  Even the one who won't get his nose out of a book for 2 seconds to take a picture..guess that there's worse problems to have!

In other news, Corey's surgery is tomorrow morning.   I'm feeling much better about it (had a complete freak out last week, but it's all good...or it will be all good!).   Corey on the other hand is a little nervous....I keep trying to think of things to tell him so that he won't be caught off guard...

So far, the worry list is:


Possible I.V. (which in my book isn't a worry...he's had blood drawn recently, should be a piece of cake)


Sleeping/waking up


And my personal fav.....Surgery PJ's...and the possibility of no undies...do they still do that?!?  It really freaks him out lol!


I know that tomorrow will all go fine...it'll be an adventure!  He'll have to take it easy for a couple of days, but we cleaned out the library of Walace and Gromit so he'll be grand ;)


I'll be sure to post how he does tomorrow after we get back!
