Another Birthday Come and Gone...

No one really wants to get older, but we can't stop it can we? I turned the big 32 on Labor Day this year. Sweet Rusty knowing I have been having a hard time again with this pregnancy decided I needed a pool party and bbq for my birthday. It ended up being a great thing since I had a rough day before that fighting a major migraine, that actually lingered for about five days  Yuck.
 I got to sleep in and woke up to some awesome roses.  We were going to get my choice breakfast, but I really had ZERO appetite post migraine. We ran a few errands in the morning and started getting ready for the party.
 My cake, which the wind blew out the candles for me. It's actually a pretty sweet gesture from Mother Nature since I get winded pretty easily these days.
 The gifts. I have the best family and friends. Rusty got me new charms with B4's name on them to add to my other mother's necklaces, a new iPhone case, some decorations for the house, new brown Tom's (which will have to wait until my feet aren't swollen so I can actually enjoy), as well as some cute Roxy slippers for the hospital.  Really those were my pretend gifts, since the Mac Laptop he ordered didn't come in time.  It's good to be Queen, what can I say? My Mom remembered me asking for knitting stuff, and boy did she deliver. I have every size needle, yarn and patterns for the favorite things my mom makes now. My inlaws got me a Silhouette machine. I have been drooling over one for eons. My sis in law Kelcie sent me a new pair of, what I call, give-ups. Best pants ever. I got amazon gift cards and Rod Works gift cards, and a cute Halloween decoration too. My favorite thing is the necklaces I got from my sweet neighbor and from my sister Rhonda's inlaws.  I am sure I forgot something. I am a lucky girl.  I think everyone just felt bad I had to be 9 months prego for another birthday...
 Everyone enjoying the pool- the Beck's pool really is amazing.
And the food... Rusty grilled two different kinds of chicken, hamburgers, and hot dogs. There were huge fruit and veggie trays, and of course more chips and dip than I knew what to do with. Oh, and I can't forget the sides everyone brought, beans, corn, potato salad, and yummy desserts!

Thanks to Rusty and the boys, my family, Rhonda's family (who were here for the last night of their vacation before going back to Kuwait), the Solomons, the Becks, Robisons, Tyrons, Whipples, for coming to celebrate with us!
