Guess what...

Today is my Birthday.
You do know that I LOVE my Birthday, don't you?
I love all Birthday's really. Even yours.
But I really.really.really. love mine.

I love it so much that my family has dubbed July as "Birthday Month". My brother and sister both called me July 1st to wish me a Happy Birthday month. Bless them. The ladies made sure to make my day special.


I woke up to them singing "Happy Birthday Dear Hayley" (what happened to them calling me mom??)...and presenting me with this little beauty. I've had my eye on it for months, and am so happy that it is gracing my kitchen with it's loveliness. And I feel so very "country" when I water the flowers now. Love it.



Adyson told me she was so excited to give it to me that she couldn't sleep last night. (She is just like me.) I love to give gifts just as much as getting them...or almost as much, at least.

My mom took us out to lunch to celebrate. I love that mom of mine, she is pretty much always making sure my Birthday ends up being everything I hope it is. Thank you Ma! What would I do without you? Really.




Lunch with the ladies usually consists of silly faces. Enjoy.




Travis, who made my culinary wishes come true by hooking me up with a much dreamed about herb garden, had a treatment today, so we had a pretty laid back night, and will resume celebrating tomorrow. Lunch with friends, and dinner with my family. Sounds like a dreamy and perfect day to me! I don't mind celebrating my day 2 days in a row. Not at all. Thanks for all the fun cards, calls, and gifts! Love you all.
