26!

I'm 26 yrs old! Unbelievable, I was barely getting used to saying I was 25. I gave my husband a hard time for not remembering his age, but it's pretty sad that I still tell people sometimes that I'm 24. Not because I care about my age, but I can't remember the last time someone has asked me how old I was. It stopped at 24. I think. Once your married and have kids I don't think it comes up much. At least not in conversations that I've had with other married couples. When I was single, all the time, now, not so much. It makes me nervous for when I hit my thirties.. Now I can see why women "fib" about their age. MEMORY LOSS. :) Who's keeping track, anyway?

It was a fun day, it felt like it lasted the whole week. It probably did. We started it off on Monday, my bday fell on a Wednesday, I wanted to take Ke'ala and Leva to see Mega Mind. We didn't realize that it was in 3D until we got to the theater. It was fun, we had the whole room to ourselves and at the end of the movie, one of Michael Jackson's songs came on and Leva went crazy dancing in the aisle. Ke'ala seemed like she was into her popcorn and M&M's more than she was into the movie. She kept her eye's on the screen, but would NOT let her supply of popcorn get low. When she realized her M&M's were gone she kept bugging me for more. I'll need to take a bigger bag the next time we go.

Leva loves the movie theater. He was so excited, it reminded me of when I was a kid and we got to do things with my parents. It didn't happen often, but when it did, it was like Christmas! I'm happy I spent my pre-birthday with my little family.

This is the only picture I took on my actual birthday. It was a relaxing day. Ini and Moli pampered me with mani-pedi's and lunch. My amazing husband got sick the night before my birthday and STILL watched the kids while they took me out for the day. I offered to stay (or at least I THINK I did.. :( oops!) but he let me go and enjoy my special day. Later that evening, Moli's husband wanted to take me and Ini out for dinner to celebrate our bdays, her birthday falls 3 days after mine, so he took us to Lucille's. Later that night as I was getting ready to shut my eyes, literally, Jesse finally gave me his gift. He got me a camera and was pretty smooth about giving it to me. This is the picture I took with my camera.
