My birthday.

I had a wonderful birthday this year.

When I woke up Luke & the boys gave me their homemade cards

with lots of hugs & kisses.

But I really loved the part in Luke's card that said, "I took the day off to spend with you."

So the morning started with swimming lessons.

The boys are so excited to have dad finally come watch,

because he has not seen them swim without float belts before!

(and I think Luke realized how hectic my mornings can be,

even with something as simple as going to swimming lessons!)

O so happy that dad's along! 

Luke also got me a surprise massage

(it was just too bad that when I showed up she has it booked for the next day).

I had about an hour of silence & as soon as the boys woke up from their naps

we decided we were going to Maple Grove.

We stopped by my favorite store to snatch up the latest clearance deals

& did we walk out of there with lots of good stuff for our new living room!

(momma was having a good day!) 

 After some shopping we went to my favorite sweet spot.

Nadia cupcake shop!

It's cute, it's sweet, & it's my birthday....so cupcakes it was. 

The boys also got some new summer pj's

& had to put them on as soon as we got home! 

Happy Birthday to Me!

I loved my day.

(it sure helped that the boys were well behaved all day too).
