So yesterday was my birthday. My mom asked me if I felt 28... umm... YES!! I'm a mother of two beautiful boys, one of whom is 8 years old and I'm afraid will soon turn my hair grey. I have reached a point in my life where I actually care about sunscreen because I don't want wrinkles. OLD!! That is what I feel! I had taken the day off of work and hoped to sleep in (since I'm the birthday princess). Well 7am rolls around and Ashton is wide awake and if he could talk I'm sure he's be saying, "HELLO!! It's 7 now and you need to GET UP!!". So we got out of bed and wondered around the house. I went to change Ashton and of course he peed on me (a birthday present I'm sure), so I cleaned him up and put a wipe over him while I grabbed a diaper out of the closet. I went to put the new diaper on and he peed on me again!! Now, he is smiling the whole time he's doing this. I've come to the conclusion that he is fully aware of his functions and he thinks it is the greatest game in the world to pee on mom. GREAT GAME!! We had planned on spending the day skiing/snowboarding since about 5 days ago the weathermen here in Utah had predicted about 80 degrees in the valley... well I should have known better than to believe a weather report that far in advance because we ALL know you can only predict Utah's weather about 24 hrs. in advance. It was due to SNOW and the temperature dropped 50 degrees from the day before...grrr... just my luck. Oh well, it was sunny still and the storm wasn't due to hit until later in the afternoon. So I tried to wake Mark and Justin up (quite a task) to tell them we had to hurry and go so we could beat the storm... Well about 2 hours later we were ready. We headed up to Brighton and had a fabulous time! Justin and Mark were on their snowboards hitting jumps and playing in the terrain park and I was on my skis just enjoying the day. The storm finally did hit and we had to leave. I'm glad we went, it was so fun to get one last day in this season! After skiing Justin and I went to pick Ashton up at daycare. When I arrived I noticed his sweat pants were in a plastic bag in his cubbie. I asked the teacher what had happened and she in formed me that Ashton had peed on HER too and all over his pants when she went to change his diaper!! SEE?!?! He knows!!! Later that evening my family (mom, dad, Stefan (brother), Sam (brother), and Brooklyn (Stefan's friend)) took me out to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square. Mom and dad gave me a new i-pod!! YAY!! Anyway, I was really excited because we always go to the Spag for every one's birthday and they always give the person who's birthday it is a special super yummy desert... well out come all of the waiters to sing and I see one single scoop of ice cream with a candle in it... "WHAT IS THIS???!!!???", I thought to myself.. this is NOT the special super yummy desert I had hoped for! Sad day. So I made Mark and Justin take me to Cold Stone later that evening and that made everything better...mmmm... cake batter ice cream... mmmmmmm!!
