My 26th Birthday

I am amazed how I just keep getting older. It was ten years ago that I turned sweet 16. Now I am 26!!! Where is the time going? My Birthday was good. It started out just like any other day. Except I have had a cold for a week now so I woke up with no voice.
Eric was so sweet to make me french toast for my birthday breakfast. It was really good. Aaron liked it too. Then he headed off to school for a few hours while I worked in the office. Lots of fun!! jk
Eric came home in the afternoon and I was allowed to go take a quick nap while he played with Aaron. I was so tired because of my cold. At 3 I put Aaron down for his nap and then I went to my Practical Homemaking class. We were cooking a lot of things. We had to get our dough ready for the rolls we are making for next class and then we made creamy red potatoes and peas. It was really good. I brought some home and fed it to Aaron and he really liked it.
We found some last minute babysitters (perks of living in a dorm full of girls) and took off to Idaho Falls for dinner at Olive Garden. It was a tough trip in the car both ways because I didn't have a tissue and my nose was completely clogged along with sinus pressure. (sorry if you didn't want to know that)

YUMMY PASTA AND BREAD STICKS!!!!

We made it home in time to open presents and then I put Aaron to bed.

Getting ready to blow out the candles

I got Harry Potter Book 1, Snickers candy bar, a skillet, and a croquet set...

I got a portable DVD player. I think Aaron might enjoy this gift just as much because this means I can entertain him with Baby Einstein anywhere we go. :)
I got all episodes of Friends!! This is a show I never get sick of watching. It will be fun to watch them in order with no commercials. YEA!!!
Time for birthday kisses. He still hasn't figured out puckering up yet. I think I actually felt a tooth this time.
After the kisses Aaron turned to the camera to pose. How cute!
We found more babysitters while we went on-campus to play. There was a big party on campus because it is the start of 2nd block classes and a lot of new freshman moved in this weekend. We did a bungee run then roller skating and then we ended the night with some ice cream.

Eric made it all the way to the end of the Bungee Run

There was sumo wrestling. We didn't do it but it looked like a lot of fun.
Eric is my skater boy. He was really good on those skates.

I am not a very good skater at all. Infact, my goal the whole night was not to fall. I had a lot of close ones. It was still a lot of fun.

It was a fun night. I think it would have been a lot more fun if my cold got better. I think it kind of ruined the whole day for me. :(

Happy Birthday! Wow it looks like you made out great with all your presents! I'm so excited for you that you got ALL the Friends DVD's! YEAAA! Next time we see each other we will have to play your Friends Board game to test our knowledge! I ALWAYS watch them when I am sick- sounds crazy but I swear they make me feel better. You should try it! I'm also excited for you about Harry Potter! You will love them. She just writes so well and gets you so hooked into the storyline, you'll be sad when they're all over! Anytime you want to chat about Harry, let me know!
Happy Birthday again!

Wow, you were spoiled on your Birthday!! It looks like you had a great day, so sorry you were sick for it though. You're seriously lucky to have so many potential babysitters living under your nose (so to speak). We never go places because there are only a couple of young women in our ward, and they are always busy... Happy Birthday to you!
