Happy Birthday Mom!

(Before reading...look at the post below for Connor's first Day of Kindergarten!)

Well here we go--it's a 21 week photo of the belly...getting big huh?!



And a close up!



Happy Birthday to Mom! I love Aiden's smile...I wish he would do that when we have his picture done professionally! And Connor...he cried earlier in the day because no one was coming to Mommy's Birthday party...my boys sure do take care of me! You can't walk away from this picture without noticing that the boys chose my favorite cake...Buzz Lightyear! I am most definitely a Mother of BOYS! But, did you happen to notice the pink plate to the left and the GIRL scrapbooking stickers to the right? Yep...IT'S A GIRL!!! We are thrilled to finally have a girl after three beautiful boys! Steve is already head over heels for her and I am planning all of the matching dresses we will wear...it will be funny!





I blew them all out...yes all 28...in one try. Steve picked up the candles that day thinking, "Yep, we need a box of candles!" When it came time to put them on, I said, "We are actually four short...one box doesn't cut it anymore!" The poor guy was just so busy all day that his brain was on auto...hang pictures, take boys to the store for a Birthday present, get cake, get candles! He needed me there to say, "Get two boxes...I'm getting OLD!"





I surely am blessed with such a good family to take care of me on my special day. Connor and Aiden chose this pretty turquoise necklace for me...I LOVE IT! It reminds me of NM....a taste of my YOUTH! :) I can't believe I have been away for 7 years now!

Oh, Crystal, you deserve these special birthdays. I'm always so pleased to see the pictures of how happy you are on your birthday . . . did you cry at the end of the day this year? Don't worry, you'll have more on Monday, assuming the packages get there! I love you so much and you are looking more and more amazing (in ALL honesty) as the weeks go by. I can't wait to hold little Lydia!

You are so sweet Sara-- I am so sad for you though. I was sad at the end of the day...but because of the happiness ending again. I know you were sad for so many reasons, I wish I could take it all away from you and give you a piece of what I have right now. I wish I could have made this the best Birthday for you yet...I hope we will be togehter some Birthday soon. I love you!

Happy Birthday Crystal (one day late, though I did remember yesterday but couldn't get to a computer). And yay, a girl!! I was hoping you'd have a girl! Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Congrats! I am so happy for you to get a little girl! It will be so much fun to finally get to buy some pink!

Happy Birthday! Looking cute as ever. As for the girl, Congrats!!! I am so happy for you. You are going to have so much fun. The boys will be so cute with her. It is so sweet to watch them be so soft and loving.

Hi Crystal! This is Amy Morrison although my name is Chavez now...I talked to Sara through face book and she gave me your blog page. It is so nice to "see" you guys! I am so glad to see that you are doing well. I have now added your family to my prayer list. Congratulations on the baby girl...I am jealous. I have two boys(which I love dearly) but was kind of hoping for a girl. I don't think we will try for her though. I have a lot of neices I can be girly with! Hope you have a blessed day!
Amy
