My 29th Birthday

Well, it is here...I am 29 years old.  I held on to 28 for as long as I could but had to give up the fight.  Oh well.  I had a great birthday.  My birthday was on a Thursday this year.  I went to work and my work family gave me cards, cakes, gifts, and gift cards to Starbucks, Red Lobster, and Outback Steakhouse.  Classes came into my roomed and cramped in and sang to me while other classes brought cards and gifts they had made.  It was such an awesome day!  After I got home I didn't expect to go anywhere but Marise took the kids with her and Jeremy took me to Red Lobster.  We wanted to watch Avatar in 3D but we are old and got tired after we ate, so we rented Why Did I Get Married and watched that at home.  The next day, I got more presents and cards.  After work I took Jennah to a church function.  They had a tea party for the Missionettes.  It was so weird dropping off my four year old until 10:00 at night. Zyannah stayed with my mom.  Jeremy and I went to Dave and Busters to celebrate Nathan and My birthdays.  It was really fun.  Jeremy and I found a game that we both liked and played it for 45 minutes.  We were hunters shooting animals in the African dessert and plains.  We had a blast playing that game together.  The next day was Saturday.  I took the girls and my mom to Hobby Lobby and we bought some supplies to paint shirts with.  The girls loved painting the shirts.  My mom liked checking out the store.  She had never been there.  I bought a chest for Jeremy's work clothes so that they are out of the way.  They took up room in the closet.  The chest is very nice.  I love it.  My mom and Abigail celebrated with me that night.  They bought Carrabas, gave me $29 in $1 bills, and gave me a Starbucks card.  It was great hanging out with them.  On Sunday, Jeremy and the girls went to church while I stayed home and caught up on rest and housework.  I feel guilty anytime I miss church.  After church we went to Famous Daves to celebrate Nathan's 31st birthday.  Good food!  They have really hot hot sauce which is AWESOME!  After Daves, Jeremy and I came home for a bit before going back to church.  The girls went with Marise to a birthday party.  Once again this weekend we were childless.  I think three times this weekend we had no kids.  I missed them so much.  I got to see them after church, so that was nice.  I sang a special for offering at church.  It was nice to sing again after not being up there in awhile.  Gene asked me to sing with the team also, so I did.  Pastor was on FIRE that night.  He had just come back from Men's Retreat so he told us what was up!  After church, we went home and slept.  On Monday I went to work, and then went to my doctor's appointment.  I am 29 weeks now.  I am almost there!  On the way home Jeremy told me to stall for 30 minutes before I got home.  I finally got home after shopping for food at Walmart and Marise and the girls were making cakes.  Jeremy had bought me some roses and a card.  I don't get many cards from him, so I told him that is what I wanted for my birthday and he wrote some nice words in it.  I have been celebrating my birthday for like 5 days now!  I feel so blessed!

Jeremy's Birthday Party!

I gave Jeremy a birthday party at Rendall and Vanessa's pool, at the place they live.  We had a great time.  Friends and family came over to celebrate Jer's 30th!  We swam, had some BBQ, had lots of conversation, and buckets of fun.  Jeremy really enjoyed the friends and the party.  Good times.  Jennah and Zyannah even got to open presents from Grandma Lee, Shannon, Tim, Audrey, and Nick.  They really enjoyed that part!

Jennah Turns 4 Years Old!

My Jennah turned FOUR yesterday! We had so much fun. We got up in the morning and went to Village Inn for breakfast. We had eggs, pancakes, suasage, and bacon. Yummy! After that, we went to the mall and hung out waiting for the movie "How To Train Your Dragon." The girls got to play with six other kids until we were ready to watch the movie. The movie was really good. Jennah liked it. After the movie, we came home and Grandma watched the girls while Jeremy and I went to eat at The Keg for his birthday. Jennah crashed out after we got home. What a fantastic day.  We got to do her cake about two days after her birthday.  We had an ice-cream cake from Baskin Robbins that was chocolate cake and chocolate chip ice cream.  WOW!!! Yummy! Happy Birthday Jennah !!!!!!

Jeremy Lee is 30 Years Old Today!!!!!

My Dear Jeremy is 30 years old today.  It is so crazy that I met him when he was 21.  Nine years ago!  Time goes by so quickly!!!  In these nine years that we have been together and seven that we have been married, he has always been such an awesome person!  He is a very hard worker, never raises his voice to me, and loves me more than I know.  I pray he has such an awesome 30th and God blesses the socks off of him.  I love you Jeremy!  Happy Birthday.

Love,
Hannah, Jennah, Zyannah, and the Baby.

Sunsplash 2010!

We went to Sunsplash on Saturday as a family and with some of our friends.  The Ferrara, Lucas, and Bashore families joined us for a fun day.  Jennah was so excited to go to Sunslpash.  I don't think she even knew what the place was, she was just excited to go there.  Jennah had a fantastic time in the kiddo pool.  We spent the entire day there.  All of our kids are small and can't swim so we spent our day in 1 ft. of water and watched the kids play for about five hours.  It was AWESOME.  I think Jennah went down the slide at least 150 times....

The boys went off of course.  To be expected.  They rode several rides together.  After they came back, the girls got into the lazy river and took about three laps around.

After we left we went over to the Lucas house to eat steak and watch some T.V.  We watched "Blades of Glory."  Crazy movie but funny.

We came home after that-it was about 10:00pm and everyone CRASHED.  We were so tired from all of the fun we had had.  Jennah's birthday was a hit!  Happy Early Birthday my soon to be 4 year old!  Mommy and Daddy love you!!!!!

My 27th Birthday

I had a great birthday. I am okay with turning 27 years old. It's not like I have a choice in the matter anyway. It is going to happen. I will enjoy the last years in my twenties. I will try anyway...

My prinipal got me a cake for my birthday. It is a Tinkerbell cake. I saw it in my office and couldn't stop laughing. Thanks Tammy!!!!! Below is a close-up of it...

Nice Cake

A lady at work made me a fortune cookie and it has a fortune in it! She made it smaller for me because I'm on a diet. She makes even bigger ones and they are huge. I enjoyed eating my fortune cookie. It was quite chocolaty and delicious.

I bought flowers for Jeremy the day before my birthday because he deserved them and is such a great guy. Guys like flowers too.

LOOK BELOW:

I was so excited!!!! I went into the shower and when I came out, this box was sitting on the counter. I screamed and ran into the bedroom where Jer was so I could open it. It was a Tiffany's ring. SWEET!!!! Thank you Jeremy for my birthday present. It's freakin' AWESOME.

We went and ate dinner at Chili's with the girls. I love my baby back baby back baby back, I love my baby back baby back baby back......
