MY BIRTHDAY AND MY CAR!!!!

(My party pictures wouldn't load for some reason so I apologize for that)

Yes, I had the BEST birthday ever and it wasn't because I had the biggest party or the most expensive gifts....it was because I had the people I love around mean they brought me joy. I woke up today and I felt like I had 2 birthdays. Tricia cooked amazing Crawfish and desserts and everyone had a fantastic time. At least I did! I received the BEST presents this year and I didn't expect any of them. First off....I got to go to the BEST concert of my life which starred The Jonas Brothers, Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato!!! (thanks to my Dad). Then I received the most beautiful roses and chocolates from my sister Missy and the most handsome boy in the world!(Kameron) Plus an Itunes gift card for my new Jonas Brothers CD! Then my best friend made me the most meaningful scrapbook I've ever received from a friend. It brought memories back from these 6 fantastic years. Then, I received money from Ron and my Mom as well as my Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw which I appreciate for my car! And out of no where...Ross, Tricia, Sofia and Zoey all gave me a new acoustic guitar that can be hooked up to an amp! Each gift I received had meaning behind it and I LOVE them ALLLLL! So thank you everyone! I'm so excited to get my licence official tomorrow and get my car on the way...so overall I'm glad that I'm having an amazing last week of summer.

Any by the way...............................................................I'm getting a car!!!

We are doing the paperwork tomorrow and I LOVE it! Dad does too.

This is the link to the page where I found it with descriptions.

Here it is! Big Red!

The interior...It is VERY clean and well kept!

The truck is huge when you fold the seats down and that is where the sub woofer is located.

The day of my Birthday!

This is me getting ready in morning before my big day in my tank top.

Well...since my birthday landed on a week day this year, we decided to celebrate it on a Friday which is really today. But, yesterday was the real thing. I know some of you are wondering why all of you called and never got an answer....well here's the thing. The night before, Dad and Tricia traded me off so I could babysit Sofia yesterday, but when I got in Tricia's car I left my purse in dad's car...which included my phone. I didn't have it and still wont until tonight. But, I had a great day! I woke up to Tricia and Sofia coming in my room to sing to me and then she made me a special breakfast which I requested (peanut butter waffles...yum). After Tricia left for work, I spent some time with the baby and then got ready for the day. Since it was her and I most of the day...I took the pictures....so I have plenty ha ha. Later that night, Ross got home and we watched the Olympics (Which I Love....especially swimming). Then Tricia decided to take me out of the house for my birthday and we went to Red Robin to eat a good old hearty American burger and fries which was good too! We spent some quality time together which was nice and then we came home to finish watching the gymnastics and swimming portions of the Olympics. I had a wonderful day, and I almost forgot what was really coming. Tonight is my actual party and it is all family including my best friend Krista. (I didn't want a huge party this year). Tricia is cooking Crawfish and we're eating a huge cheesecake! My Favorite! It'll be fun and I'll be sure to put up some more pictures.

This is the one of the signs that the Mclain family made for me on my Birthday!

This was the sign placed on my bathroom mirror!

She's one of the best gifts that I could ever get!

This was me just kinda hanging out while the baby slept

This was Sofia's reaction after I told her how old I really was.

The week before school...

So, Kameron and Missy came over to the Mclains the other day visit the other day for a cousin play date! She talked about her missions trip and Kameron talked about his gator Missy brought back for him. (A stuffed one that is...named gatorator) ha ha. It sounds like she had a fantastic life-changing trip and it sounds like he missed his mommy!

Kam was having a blast playing hide-n-seek.

He was laughing at his Mommy.

Stinky feet!

He made a swamp mud-cake mix. It was quite good. Missy brought it back from New Orleans.

And here are some pictures of my day today with my friend Katie Mann and Nick.

This is Nick...he took me out for a birthday dinner and to catchup before he leaves for college. Yes...he cut his hair...A LOT of it ha ha. We had a fun time, and afterwards, we went to pick up his sister Tammy at band practice which gave me a chance to catchup with old band friends.

Katie and I were waiting on the movie to start...so we took some pictures!

We were bored...ha ha
