my birthday

i flew home from the funeral early on my birthday.  i was emotionally exhausted, had a suuuuuuuuuuper bad cold that relapsed while i was refusing to sleep the entire time we were in carson. i don't know when i've ever been such a wreck.  i did NOT feel like it was my birthday, that's for darn sure.  but so adorably, matt roped cortney and lonnie into throwing me a surprise birthday party and it was so sweet, it made all of the crazy disappear.  

this girl. UGH!  this girl! she's SO SWEET!

misty baker still loves all of our babies even though she has  a bunch of her own now.  i'm so glad about both of those things. 

two words- BABY.  FEVER. 

some pretty intense wrestle/snuggles

lonnie made this almond, raspberry goodness.  THANK YOU LONNIE! 

i was missing quinn so much after being away from him for days.  i got tummy butterflies the minute we landed because i was so excited.  i  sat in the backseat with him and held his hand all the way home.  i missed matt too but i've been away from him before.

 

a very late thank you to all of you that came and helped.  i am so grateful for you all!
