Rambling and Insight From a Fresh 29 yr old

Insight #1...I turned 29 yesterday and attempted to capture my biggest accomplishments, this was the best shot!

Rylie and I

Olivia's sweet new hair do! (Jessica, I thought of you when this pic turned out sweet, not as good as your photos, but i'm trying :) ) Insight #2 hair is just hair and barrettes and sweet little girls do not need long locks to be scrumptious!

Todd took the family to the waterfront for a birthday lunch for moi. Insight #3 Always listen to your children and let them voice their worries for they shall smile more and confide often.

Insight #4 Ty and Olivia now look like twins :)

Todd and Rylie are an example of epic awesomeness! Insight #5 Goofing off and taking deep breaths and not stressing is worth it for your sanity.

Coloring at a restaurant watching the sea planes land and the dragon boat racers practice is lovely. Insight #6 Crayons are awesome and should not be placed in a heater vent!

Pardon the excessive cleavage :) Insight #7 I have not yet embraced the idea of loving my body but I do realize it's importance! and shall keep trying.

Insight #8 I can and will learn to take sweet pictures. Below is an attempt at an artsy approach to a glass of water and my daughter!

Olivia is a beautiful and delicate as the orchid we sat next to. Insight #9 Even when your children look this angelic there is always a 99.9% chance of that cool glass of water spilling in an extreme way seconds later.

Insight #10 4 kids eating bubblegum icecream = a direct correlation to happiness, and happiness should always be in demand and supply.

Insight #11 Birthdays are grand and hubbies that make them possible are grand as well.

Insight #12 Just because its your birthday doesnt mean you dont have to cook dinner :) (Slow cooker taco soup) but it does mean your hubby has to make home made MnM ice
cream sandwiches!
