It's still my birthday??!

This has been quite the confusing week for me! My birthday surprises just keep coming and coming. I got a different package in the mail on 3 different days this week. My entire extended family thought my birthday was Wednesday and not Tuesday. Mom and dad were starting to really doubt THEY had the right day. Uncle Tim and Aunt Dana were the only ones that got it right. Grandma Sue showed up early Wednesday morning on her way to work to drop off a present and sing/wish me Happy Birthday. Mom, very gently, let her know that my birthday was Tuesday. That night, while we were eating dinner, Grandpa Vern called to wish me Happy Birthday. Mom, very gently, let him know my birthday was Tuesday. Just as we were hanging up with him, Nana D and Mr. Walker called to wish me Happy Birthday. Mom, not so very gently (because she is related!) let them know my birthday was Tuesday. THEN 10 minutes later, Uncle Adam called to wish me a Happy birthday. Mom, very gently (because he is her baby brother), let him know my birthday was Tuesday. Very strange, indeed!

The rest of the week passed uneventfully, with everyone looking forward to a nice, long 3 day weekend. We knew it was going to be good when it started with my official birthday party on Saturday.

We had it at the Splash Park, like last year, but this year was even better because mom planned ahead enough to get us a ramada. It is so much nicer with shade when it is 95 degrees outside!

My cousins, Ashley and Maggie came up from Sierra Vista, my friends from school, Megan and Carly came and then baby Grace and baby Camryn came too. Camryn brought her cousins, (big) Grace and Conner so we had lots of kids to have fun with.
I had been asking for planet cupcakes and mom did a pretty decent job (if she does say so herself) at finding plastic planets and jamming them into the tops of the cupcakes. It was a top notch, professional quality job! Thanks, mom!
We had a very quiet day on Sunday hanging out by the pool. We spent some time in the hot tub too because the pool water is still just a bit nippy for us. 84 degrees is colder than you think.

On Monday, we went to Joe and Amy's house for a bar-b-cue and more swimming. Another completely relaxing, food filled day.

We are almost ready to face the week except I passed my little summer cold onto mom so she is feeling a little grumpy. Hope everyone enjoys their short weeks!
