So yeah, I haven't posted in awhile, but it's not because I'm avoiding talking about my birthday! I'm actually proud to say that I am now 50! When you have both of your children in your class, that means everyone at school knows it's your birthday
especially when it's such a big number. One student was so sweet though. When he heard my age, his jaw dropped and he said honestly, "I thought you were around 30!" Then I reminded him that this was math class, and that I have a 24 year old. So maybe he's not one of my A students....
Since my birthday fell midweek, I celebrated with family the weekend before. We headed off island, and the first stop was to
pick out some pumpkins on a beautiful fall day.
We did a little shopping before Mike and the girls treated me to a movie at an iPic theater. If you've not been to one before, check it out
here. Let me just say it will be hard to watch a movie again, sitting in a broken chair, feet stuck to the ground!
After staying the night in a hotel, we met up with my extended family the next morning for brunch, then on to
Liberty Alpacas, my brother and sister-in-laws place, to hang out and watch the Seahawk game, before heading back home. I can't remember the last time I celebrated my birthday with some many family members. It was nice, but I was missing Joshua and Kellen.

Jeff and his new Gator, hauling the kids around. |
The record rain did not deter the kids from playing with the alpacas, which included five new baby crias.

You can see how wet the alpacas are |

The newest one in the center. So cute! |

Me and my girls. |

And the rest of the girls. There were boys here too, but somehow they avoided any photo shoots. |

Thanks for all the well wishes! Hmm, the next time I probably have a big birthday get together will be when I'm 60. Yikes!
