39 again

My mom had a big birthday this year. 

50!

Don't tell her I told you.

If you ask her, she'll say 39. 

Melinda & I had a big party in the works but my mom said she would disown us if we threw a party. 

I don't get it. She asked me if I want a party when I turn 50.

YES. I do. 

We ended up just celebrating with the family & had a great time. 

 My dad got her a nice new bike. 

Mckay came to my house earlier in the day & we invented a new kind of cake. 

We didn't know how it would turn out but it actually tasted real good. 

Can you tell the candles are making a "5" "0"?

Do you think Melinda could make it as a model?

A few days later, Melinda & I (and twins) took my mom to lunch & to get pedicures. 

The girls amazed me. They sat so still on our laps the whole time. Honestly, I was a little shocked. I wasn't sure I had the right babies. 

Happy birthday Mommy. 

I feel so lucky that you are mine!
