Jerrod's 30th Birthday!!!

I am so excited that I finally get to talk about Jerrod's 30th birthday!  I can't believe that my man is 30!  His birthday is in August, so it is about time I get to blog about it! 
Jerrod shares a birthday with one of our good friends, so us wives decided to throw them a big birthday bash!  They both kept saying how they didn't want anything big...they don't really enjoy that sort of thing, but they married the wrong girls if they want to be that way their whole life!  We invited lots of fun couples and had a great time!  The boys even had a blast.  

The Birthday Boys, Matthew and Jerrod!!

The men standing around in the kitchen by the food!

 My mom and sister came to celebrate with us!

 After our delicious dinner of Cafe' Rio Pork Salads, we played a fun game.  
It was a mix between Jeopardy and Minute to Win It.  The teams had to answer questions about Jerrod or Matthew for points, and then in each column where there would be a "Daily Double" we had someone on each team do a "Minute to Win It" challenge for points.  It was so much fun.  I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time!

Jaela doing the same.

 Jerrod and Matthew listening to the trivia questions about themselves.

Building an upside-down pyramid with plates and pop cans.


Lee did it!!  It was pretty fun to watch.

 In this one, they had to blow a ping pong ball from water glass to water glass.  
Steve did a great job!

 But, I think Laurel won this one.  She got it in all 3 glasses first.


Okay, this was my FAVORITE one.  We needed two really good sports for this one, and we found them.  People were laughing so hard that they were crying.  
There were ping pong balls inside of the tissue box and it was wrapped around the persons' waist.  They had to shimmy and shake until they got all of the ping pong balls out of the box. 
 Delee had some great moves!!

I think Ben was the highlight of the evening though.  He is such a fun guy and really got into it.  I can't even describe to you how funny this was.


 Jake did a fantastic job hitting pop cans with rubberbands.

And everyone enjoyed the yummy cakes!  
I am so glad that everyone came out to celebrate with us.  It wouldn't have been as much fun without all of our great friends there.  


Since Jerrod's actual birthday wasn't on the day of his party, we got to celebrate again with him at home.
We went out to dinner with Jaela to Endochine (a really yummy Thai restaurant), and then came home to eat cake and ice cream with the kids.



Getting ready to blow out his candles!







Happy Birthday Honey!  I hope that you had a great 30th!  I love you so much and can't wait to see what the next 30 years holds for us.  I am so lucky to call you my husband!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
