Well yesterday was yet another birthday! I was the big fat 26, how depressing!! I can not believe I am so old! (well old to me )

 I can remember the days when I was in D.I.S.C.O. group and looking at Zac and Laura thinking, “I wonder if they ever get sad that they are no longer in our era, but have moved up to adulthood era.” Now I am in their era, past the D.I.S.C.O. stage, I couldn’t even go anymore if I wanted to and 30 is slowly creeping up on me. Where did the years go?

Since I have been married (the age of 21) the years are all just one big blur, maybe that’s because I’m always pregnant I can’t keep track of the time! Let’s hope for a non pregnant birthday next year!! LETS ALL PRAY!

Well besides the fact that I am getting older, my birthday is always the highlight of my year! I am always so touched at how much effort and energy my family puts into making my Birthday special for me every year!

Well every year since I turned 22 we have had a Bday bash and Ray & Evie’s house. Well this always consists of the BEST food ever! (ofcourse would you expect anything less at their house)

So the menu…carne asada, pollo  asada, rice, beans, salsa, and CAKE! How can you go wrong with a menu like this.

Kids screaming in the pool, people playing cards, laughing, eatting, it just makes for wonderful memories. I even attempted to try and stay afloat in the pool this year!

I know how much work goes into planning a party, preparing all the food, and running the actual party. It is exhausting and I am just so grateful for family that Loves me that much that they do this for me every year with a big smile on their face, never complaining once!

This is also the only time during the year that Wences actually asks if it is alright if he plays poker because it is my birthday. Get this, this year he even had to play some kind of blind thing so he could take a break and go watch the fireworks with me; because he knows how much I enjoy that!

I hope all of your Birthdays are as special as mine was this upcoming year!
