10-10-10=40 years?

The numbers add up to 30 but, in fact I am 40 today.  Oh well, I've looked into it and there is nothing I can do about it!  Last week was wild in four days we had 9 games to attend.  Some at the same time, I only saw 5 of them but to be honest I felt like I had not missed any of them!!  I loved complaining about it last week but in reality I was fine with it.  I knew it was Carter and Zoe's last week of soccer and I really enjoy Sammi's volleyball and Jackson's football games.  For the next 13 or so years I will happily attend every game my kiddos are in.  Still Friday night after the football game in Yakima it was wonderful to stay in town with no kids---just Michael and I.  We stayed at the Rosedell Bed and Breakfast and as is becoming the custom with me we met with the "colorful" folks! 

If you remember last year Jax and I stayed in a hotel for Chemo and ended up at the hotel while it had a Burlesque Dancer convention there.  Weeeelllll our Bed and Breakfast hotel owner/hostess was, up till a year ago, and bartender/"dancer" (her quotes not mine) in Vegas.  Her husband was helping her, but now he is back in Vegas because he works for the Sultan of Brunei, and Prince Jeffery need him at the mansion in Vegas---of course your standard ho/hum couple!  Also staying at the Rosedell was a couple who were ghost hunting, but luckily enough Michael and I were staying in the Turret room and only the Red Room is haunted-phew!  You can't make this stuff up.  We got to church in time and then tonight we were supposed to go to Courtney's for Sunday dinner.  When we got there I walked in to 75 people yelling "surprise".  I was VERY!  It was embarrassing to be the guest of honor but so fun to have so many people I love all together.  There was lots of yummy food and a chocolate fountain, and Courtney had everything set up so darling.  Lesa Buster and Katie Allred made a DVD of pictures of me and that was so fun too.

The bigger picture is of me in a wig when I was four---Dylan Allred wants to know if I still have that wig!

My star, I wonder if Courtney will leave it up forever.

Somehow a pirate "crashed" the party.  He was so cute we let the little bootlegger stay.

Jackson's best buddy in the world turned 15 today---for his birthday I surrounded him with beautiful girls and took his picture--your welcome Bud.

Kids had Mac and Cheese, and other snacks in the garage, along with a game of water toy sword fighting.

What can I say---love you Courtney, Mom, Lesa and everyone who made 40 fabulous.  Now I've got to go live it up!
