The Big 35

This year I turned 35!  For the first time in 3 years Ben was home for my birthday.  He took the day off and let me sleep in while he got the kids off to school.  Then we went and did some window shopping and had lunch.  We got home and opened presents then we were off to the Olive Garden for dinner.  We ended the night we a yummy chocolate raspberry cake and ice cream.  It was a great day and I am so grateful for a fun family to celebrate with.

On March 10 Phineas had his half birthday.  We love having this happy, easy-going boy around.

Girls Gala

Chloe and Dad went to their first Daddy Daughter Dance.  It was called the Girls Gala, it was 70's themed and it was sponsored by the PTO at the elementary school.  Chloe was so excited for it.  She talked about it for weeks in advance.  The night before she told me that she hoped that Dad would hold out his arms and she would run and jump into them and then he would hold up straight in the air and spin her around.  But she was also nervous that when this happened that he would spin her so much that she would get sick and throw up.  I told her that maybe Dad would only spin her once an she wouldn't get sick.  After they got home from the dance I asked her how it was.  She replied, "It was awesome!"  I asked if Dad had spun her in the air and she said, "No, but I got two bags of Cheetos and one bag of Pirates Booty."  (In Dad's defense, he did flip her a few times but there was no dramatic spinning in the air.)
