31!!!

Yesterday I turned 31!!!!!!!!!!! and LOVIN IT!!! 31 is the new 30!!! I really had one of those days that didn't do anything MAJOR.. BUT all in all it was a FABULOUS day with my fam! A couple of months ago I had this NEWS FLASH that I had 4 kids!!!! I know a little slow I guess!!! But honestly I was still kinda living my life and social life like I had 1 kid just abbie and that she was 7. And that my main job and duty right now is to be a mom to 4 kids!!! I had way to many obligations outside of the house with boards and committees that is just got to be WAY to much!!! SO I pretty much cut everything out to concentrate on what God has obviously called me to be and do which is being a mom to 4 and taking care of my husband. So this Bday I planned to have a party with some friends and decided I just wanted to have a home party with my fam and stay close! (Which actually is what I have been doing a lot lately,and am totally ok with and needed) So the kids had VBS this whole week so 3 of the 4 of them went! which that in itself is weird just having Lola home for 3 hours is weird. (And I actually cried when I left Zeke there!!!)
Abbie had a playdate this afternoon and went to the water park. So caid wanted to make me a bday cake while the other 2 slept! AND HE DID!!! HE made the BEST cake ever!!! and ALL by himself!!! IT TRUELY WAS MY BEST CAKE I EVER GOT!!!



Had some dinner opened my fabulous present from the kiddies and headed out the the freezing pool with Abbie and made a whirlpool for us to float down the "amazon river" So it was anything MAJOR.. but it was FABULOUS to be 31 with such an awesome fam!!! :)

So 31 is off to a great start! :) I had tons of birthday emails, cards, and calls yesterday and it was good to hear from each one of them. My sister in law mentioned to me that I was a "Friend Gypsy" where I have friends all over and here and there. And I think she was right!!! It is true, my friends are scattered from here and there and I honestly don't talk to them much but the cool thing is I might just show up on their doorstep someday and it would be back to 1999!!! (Or whatever year it was) I am just kinda flighty!!!! I am okay with that and I am blessed that my friends are okay and have been okay with that for years!!! Two of my very close friends I was in Amsterdam and India with. Have always joked ... "Kelsey is just going to be this hippy with a backpack that stops over for a couple hours out of the blue just traveling away while we are at home raising babies" HA! Well the joke was on ME when they were in my wedding and I was the FIRST of us to get married!!! AND HAVE BABIES!!!!!!!!!!! But am blessed that they take me for who I am!!! :) Also I think moving around alot has made it "easy" for me to "move on" to what ever adventure was next. But I do miss those girls!! and I miss all of them!! But it is always awesome to know they got my back!!!! and of course I got theirs! :)

Anyways. I rabbit trailed A LOT this blog.. might have to do with it being 2am!!! A couple more updates!!
TONIGHT was also the first night Zeke went to bed without a BINKY!!!!!!!!!!! and it was FINE!! HE ROCKED IT!!!! So we shall see if this stays!!!

Peace out peeps!!!!
