This is my new kitten, Cookie. I love animals, especially Cats and I have always had a cat for most of my life. I think I was about 5 when my parents got me my first kitten. Birtley doesn't love cats, so I have been understanding of that. I recently started begging for a kitten. He is AWESOME and loves me, so we got one. I love this little fur ball. She is so playful and my kids are totally obsessed with her. She is about seven weeks old and just teeny. She is so much fun. Loves to cuddle and play. I know this post may make me seem a little like a crazy cat lady, but oh well. I just love my new kitty !!!! and want family and friends to be able to see her while she is still little.

Cookie likes to nap with Rett when he's watching TV, so sweet !!

The big 3-0

I turned 30 this past weekend, and although I was kinda dreading it. I couldn't figure out a way to keep it from happening. It started a few weeks ago with a trip to Utah to visit with my Mom and sisters. It was so much fun. I have really missed them ever since I came home. I enjoy mine and Birtley's family so much. The father and sons campout was on Friday night, so I got a night to myself with Macie. My wonderful friend, Whitney, made an awesome cake for me and we played games and had a really fun night. On Saturday, my birthday, I slept in and was kinda lazy in the morning. It was wonderful. Birtley and the boys were home about 10:30 and he had to clean up all of the camping stuff and car because everything was a mess. I was so glad that he took the boys, they were too. The boys were excited for a month. They love their Dad and camping out. The whole day was just great. Birtley took care of all of the kids and I just had a quiet day. We went to dinner that night at Old Spaghetti Factory, yummo !!! Did some shopping (Birtley is so great to me !!!!) and went to see Iron Man 2. It was a AwEsOmE day. Thanks to all my friends and family who helped to make it special.

Gorgeous flowers that my Mom and Dad sent to me !!

Happy Birthday to ME !!
