Happy Golden Birthday! This past saturday was my golden birthday, I turned 24 on the 24th! I'm not sure if anyone else really celebrates it, but my sister makes a big deal out of it! Eric, Sarah Grace & I got up early saturday morning and Eric brought me breakfast in bed, I totally loved it and appreciated the thoughtfulness and well thought out meal. My youngest brother Will had a baseball tournament on saturday so we spent a good 8 hours at the ball park! Half way through the games we had a romantic lunch with the family and team at McDonalds.  Sarah Grace was passed around and everyone just ate her up. The parents love it when she comes to the games and I love bringing her, what parent doesn't want to hear that their child "is the prettiest baby they've ever seen." I LOVE hearing it! Mostly because its completely true and I'm glad that other people recognize the beauty of this baby girl! I'm only half joking with that last sentence. After the games, we cleaned up and took long naps, all three of us! We then headed to a family party with dinner, cake & ice cream, and presents!!  I'm telling you, I made out like a bandit this year, golden birthdays are the best! My in-laws were also very generous this year and gave me some beautiful things to decorate with and gifts for Sarah Grace! It was such a great day and I had a blast. Although, it did end with me going to bed with a fever, the chills, sore throat, headache, stomach ache, and body aches! (I think I included all the aches!) I know everyone likes to end birthday fun with the flu!  Thank you everyone for the gifts, birthday wishes, and love that yall show me!!

Happy b'day a bit late, but still happy b'day anyway. Sad about the sickness, but good about the other news. I also have gorgeous kids. I feel bad for the mothers out there with ugly kids, I mean, do they know that they can't compete?

Happy B-day!! SOunds like you had a very good day! It's always nice, isn't it?? I can't believe that picture of Will, I think the last time I saw him, he was so small. :) Sarah Grace is getting so big! What a cute family. You look amazing by the way! --ashlee fincher
