Big G is 61!

My mom celebrated her 61st birthday on Saturday. When I was younger, I don't think I ever thought about the actual age of my parents but thinking about it now, it actually makes ME feel older. Right now, I am older than my mom was when she had me, whoa. How did I get to be 32?!? I know, I know, age is just a number but geez, I would be happy to say I was 32 forever!

Being my mom's only girl, I can finally admit that I was probably a little spoiled. Okay, a lot spoiled. She always has and still does way too much for everyone but I think that's just the way she likes it. I didn't even know how to do laundry when I got married for heaven's sake! I have since learned and I'm finding that I am becoming a little bit more like her. I haven't started leaving little notes for the boys telling them to wipe their feet off before they come into the house because I just mopped the floor but that's probably just because they really can't read yet. She still does that for my dad though. Jed and I are always laughing at the notes we find at their house. I've even almost made Brek and Kaden open and close the drawers on their dresser 100 times because they leave them open ALL OF THE TIME and it drives me crazy (something she did to my brothers). It takes being a mom to finally understand and appreciate everything a mom actually does so thanks mom! I love you!

Oh, and for her birthday, I made these cute little cupcake pops that I found here. They were a total pain in the butt to make and a little too chocolatey for me but I was proud of myself. They looked pretty professional. The picture doesn't do them justice! :)
