Happy Birthday to Mom!

I can't believe how fast time goes once you are no longer a teenager. I've always dreamed of being where I am at now in my life--mid thirties with a husband, kids, a house, and being a stay-at-home mom. I am literally living my dream. And even though it's not as I had pictured it as a young teenager what a great life I have! I am beyond blessed.

Hannah made me a heart book and put one of her dollars in it for me and a sucker. She even made the pom pom garland that's on my chair. She is so creative and loves to craft especially when she's making it for someone else. Thank you Hannah for making me feel special on my birthday!

It says: To mom

Lucas also made me a card with a pocket in it. There are some American coins and Costa Rican colones in there along with a notebook for me to take notes. I think the two of them spent the morning in secret creating their cards together before school. I love it! Thank you Lucas.

It says: I love mom. 

You are the best mom ever! 

You are nice 

you care for us

you make us dinner. 

I put 50(cents) in the pocket. 

Keep up the good work. Love Lucas. 

To: Mom 

200 clonies in the pocket!

Zander got into my closet and noticed my Ninja Turtles toys had been messed up and broken a bit, so he secretly got them down and put all the pieces back together for me to surprise me for my birthday. Thank you Zander for your thoughtfulness. 

He wrote a note that says: happy birthday I love you. I fixest the turtels. -Zander

Stephen spoiled me again, as always. I got two really cool things to put on my wall (I can't say what they are yet because they are a surprise for when I redo my guest bedroom) a new fancy pea coat, and the weekender bag that I had been eyeing for several months. Thank you Stephen, I love you!
