Mommy's Birthday Week...

If you know me well, you know that I love birthdays, and even more than birthdays, I LOVE to celebrate them. My birthday is no exception!!! This past Wednesday, July 7th, I turned 28. I like to celebrate my birthday starting with the rest of the US on the 4th of July, and go for a good week. :) My "week" was WONDERFUL, filled with my favorite things: family, friends, cookie cake, and relaxation (well, as much as you can with a very busy almost 2 year old!!). This year, along with my birthday, I was able to celebrate another accomplishment that I have been working towards: my Master's degree!!! As of June 30, 2010 I am a graduate.

Mom and Dad sent me a cookie bouquet to celebrate this milestone! Actually, the card read "Love, Mom and Dan," so dad is now Dan to any of you who see him!!! :) ha ha

The birthday week continued with a pool trip to Woodstock to see my sister and Savannah with Kim and Davis (Sara was at sleep away camp). We had a great time!

Caleb is such a little fish!!! He loves his float, and wants NO ONE to touch him while he is "swinnin'"

We continued our week with pool trips with friends, seeing old friends, and going to dinner on my birthday with my family. I will spare you the video of me on the horse saddle at the restaurant.
I share my birthday week with one of my favorite sets of twins, Adian and Addison Callahan. They are the twins of some of our friends, and they are 3 months older than Caleb. They had a Yo Gabba Gabba party complete with DJ Lance Rock. Caleb was not too sure of "Rock," as he called him, but had to keep close tabs on him the entire time. This is as close as he would get to DJ Lance Rock.
My birthday week concluded with an AMAZING trip to the Atlanta Zoo with Grandmommy, Grandpa, Aunt Lisi, Uncle Russ, and Savannah. Caleb had a BLAST!!!! And so did Mommy and Daddy! Thanks, Grandmommy and Grandpa for letting us use your passes!

As soon as we got inside the zoo Caleb was amazed with the flamingo's, or birds. Whatever.

This baby and my baby, are the same age. The furry baby is just slightly bigger than my baby. :)
Caleb LOVED the petting zoo. Mommy thought it was stinky.
It is safe to say there will be many more visits to the zoo in our future. We had a GREAT TIME!!
Please notice Caleb's lion overalls. It is all about the outfit, ya know! ;)
