My birthday

So, I turned 32. Wowsers! My crew made my day so great. Kaden had his 3rd day of school...he didn't want to go. He thought he was going to miss out on all the fun. HA! I don't think he realized that mom's birthday isn't quite like his. It's pretty much just another day at the Horner house. Still laundry to do, diapers to change, meals to make, etc. etc. etc.! However, this year Jeremy took the day off and spent the day at home with me. I don't know if he fully understands how that, alone, can be the best present! Just having another pair of hands in the house is golden. He felt SO bad that he didn't get me some lavish gift. I told him I just wanted a break from my usual routines. I didn't want to fix breakfast, give the morning bottle, change diapers, wash bottles, do laundry, EMPTY the dishwasher (ick), and all those glorious things.

DISCLOSURE: I do love all these things (except emptying the dishwasher) and do not want to sound like I am complaining. I LOVE my life as mommy and wife and wouldn't trade being home with these three precious little ones for anything, BUT a girl needs a day-off once in awhile! :)
Digging in to my Daube's carrot cake. I wait for this EVERY year. I love this cake so much and anticipate this part of my birthday so much in fact, I ordered this cake for Jeremy's birthday last November. He will never forgive me for ordering MY favorite cake for HIS birthday. ;)Mmmmm.....
I love these little people with all of my heart. I am SO blessed to have them in my life!
Jeremy took the boys shopping for me. This is the shirt the boys picked out for me. They thought for sure it looked like something I would like...I think I'll wear it on Cinco de Mayo!!!! They were so excited to give me all of my presents.

Jeremy took a video of Kaden shopping for me. This video might be my favorite gift.

My favorite girl


One of my cards. The boys also made me one, it was ginormous.

Sweet boys, relaxing on the couch with me. A great end to a perfect day.
