My 9th 29th

Last year I convinced Hannah that I was turning 29 when in actuality I was turning 36. We celebrated my birthday last week and I tried my best to convince her that I was turning 29. She wasn't buying it because she has counted to 167 by herself. At that point she grew tired of counting. So obviously 29 doesn't come after 29. This was one of those time when I wondered why I get so excited when one of the kids reaches a milestone such as counting by themselves.


P.K. planned a party for me. He even thought to order a cake in advance.


He had "Happy 9th-29th Jody" written on it because this is the 9th time I have celebrated turning 29. If you read my list of 100 things on my 100th blog post, you know that yellow roses are my favorite. I also do not have much of a sweet tooth, but I do love buttercream frosting. He even found some cute candles with yellow and green circles that coordinated rather nicely with the cake. He was nice enough to only put on four.

P.K. provided goody bags for the kids.


The goody bags included candy, balloons, those squishy ball things and the fireworks that shoot out confetti when the string is pulled.


Evidence of the fireworks already pulled is on the table and if you look closely you can see confetti shooting over P.K.'s head.

I suggest aiming away from people and lights.

And my gift...


Jesus the One and Only by Beth Moore. I started it the next morning and love it.

Great job, P.K.!!

you look great in the photo - your hair is really cute (and yes, I know it's the same style, but still very cute!)

Your hair does look cute!! Love it. P.K. did good! I wish I could've come to the party and gotten one of those cool goody buckets. ;-) Glad it was another happy 29th!

Happy Birthday Jody:) OK i don't know what "R-rated material" my mother was talking about (i think she's turned into the crazies) And she is not innocent and I quoted both "not funny " and "not interesting" comments to her. And she couldn't argue with my memory, cuz she no longer has one. luv ya.......

You look great, my friend!

P.K. did an awesome job! I love that he put so much thought into the cake (but then you know I have issues there! ;D) And to think to put together goody bags for the kids?! Plus, he dressed up for you! He should definitely get major brownie points for this!!!

Marine Wife,

He gets major kudos for the effort and planning. As far as dressing up, he just hadn't changed out of his "work clothes."

Jody, if I can count right, we are only a couple of months apart in age - I will be 37 on May 7th! Also, I am at the end of that journal right now - it has been wonderful! And how sweet of PK to do all that for your birthday! I see he has a touch of your creativeness!
