Tiffany's Birthday

In all the excitement of June birthdays around here I forgot to post about my own birthday.

I woke up to Cody whispering, "Happy Birthday, Mom. I finished the Book of Mormon today!" I'd have to say that was the best birthday gift I could have received. Cody started in January of 2012 reading 10 verses every day and finally finished. Pretty cool!

When we came downstairs for breakfast, Kylee asked why the house wasn't decorated (because we do that for the kids birthdays). Steve said, "oops! I guess I was in charge of that." It was pretty funny.

Steve had to work, Cody had school, and so the girls and I did what we usually do every morning. We went around Lake Centennial (about 3 miles) and then played at the playground. I love it -- I get my exercise and then the kids burn some of their energy too. It's a win-win.

Since it was my birthday I thought I would make it more interesting by bringing the camera to the park and taking pictures of the girls while they played. Well, the girls didn't think that was such a good idea. Kylee got upset any time she saw me with the camera and Livy thought it would be a fun game to run away any time I tried to take a picture. So, out of the many attempts to get some fun pictures I ended up with four pictures that are keepers. Oh well, it was a nice try. :)

Afterwards we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch with some friends. Once Steve got home we took the family out to dinner at a new burger joint near us called...The Burger Joint. We had fun eating at an outside table in the pouring rain.

Thanks to all those who sent birthday wishes, gifts, and cards!!
