Mommy's Turn

The birthday celebrations never end around here, first Maddy, then Mikayla, then me!  All of our birthdays fall in a 7 week period.  This year I turned 33!  WoW!  I am getting OLD!  Well... not really.  I'd like to think 33 is the new 23!  I still get carded when I buy alcohol so 33 isn't too bad so far! :)

Anyway, Mike, the girls & I had a busy June.  When my Birth-Day rolled around the only thing I wanted to do was something fun AND relaxing.  It was going to be a HOT day, about *107 with the heat index, one of the first places that popped in my mind was the YMCA Water Park in Sarasota.  We don't go very often, so it was a treat for the whole family.



My girls... I love this picture, it totally captures Maddy & Mikayla's personalties!





Mikayla enjoys having buckets of water dumped on her head!  Look at the timing of this shot, the water is just about to hit her!


Later when we got home, Mike ran to the grocery store with a shopping list AND grilled us ny strip steaks, I made some yummy garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed onions & roasted broccoli.  It was the only meal we had cooked all week and it was delicious.  After dinner Mike & the girls sang me Happy Birthday and I blew out the candles on another one of my favorite treats... a Tortuga Rum Cake!  We washed it down with some bubbly and I was one happy birthday girl!  


Mike even brought me roses!  I love all kinds of flowers but roses are and always be my favorites, this time Mike picked out red tipped white roses, they were soooo pretty and they smelled divine!
