another year

today was my birthday. i turned 33. having a birthday inevitably makes you stop and take a look around. do you like what you see? are you happy with who you've become? i find myself quite content today. i woke up this morning at peace. it was raining outside. i love the rain. i went downstairs to find hubby blowing up balloons and logan, both still in pjs, running around the kitchen, sippy cup in tow, holding a balloon himself. both of their faces lit up when they saw me come around the corner. who needs gifts? i already have all that i could possibly want or need.

we ventured out into the cold, wet day. headed to disneyland. we have season passes already so today, i received a "fun card," essentially a disney gift card to use as i pleased since it was my birthday. i have never been to disneyland when it was pouring down rain. at least, i don't remember a time. thankfully, my sister-in-law, amanda, had warned us to buy ponchos before we met up with them. we may have been cold and wet from the rain today but it didn't dampen our spirits. we giggled throughout the day at the mere sight of each other in our oh so fashionable ponchos. we didn't stay too long today. enough time to go on a few rides. logan actually enjoyed peter pan. it was too wet to try dumbo again. i'm sure he would have loved that one too.

later tonight, i opened gifts and we had delicious chocolate fudge cake. mmm. . . thanks guys! i truly feel blessed. thank you to all of the birthday wishes out there. here's a cute shot of logan from this past sunday. i know i have a lot of blogging to catch up on from the past few months. keep checking back because i plan on getting to it very soon. . . .

"happy birthday mommy"

the loves of my life
