Birthday Bash........off to Albany!!!!!!!!!

I can't help but get excited when it's my birthday.......just because......no not the added year of wisdom or the added wrinkle here and there or the pressure of "how am I doing juggling it all?"..........no, it's the anticipation of being with the ones that I love and celebrating!  My sweet hubby planned a special dinner outing "roadtrip" to Albany.....if you live in West Texas and haven't visited the famous eatery and cantina............must I say........get in the car and floor it!!!!

You must visit The Beehive at Fort Griffin ( I am serious!  Fort Griffin)....that was my first real clue , this place is top notch!!!!!!!!  Go on line and read about their story........the food is fabulous..........the atmosphere is inspiring and fun....and it makes you feel like you have "been out of town"............they are known for their prime rib dishes and Thursday night "shrimp" extravaganza...still waiting to try that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Let me know when you visit and let's oooohh and aaaahh together................chow!
Look at "my" guy!  All four of them (one of them is behind the camera) but made my March 2 birthday a very special one to remember!  Love to you all!!!!!!!  Am I the luckiest Mom around???

My first b-day surprise!  Beautiful daffodils from my in-laws backyard..........Griffin picked them himself and put them into a beautiful vase...........so special!

OMG!!!!!!  My sweet baby child (brilliant boy #3) signed my special birthday note himself..........I love that's it's upside down.......now he comes by that quite honestly!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOwweeeeeeeeeeeee...Birthday kiss #1!  What a smacker!
Oh yeah!  It's my birthday, it's my birthday........Griffin was the MOST excited!!!!!!!!!!
                                                    Okay, I am not tippytoeing, Bryce is bending
                                                                      down, sweet birthday kiss #2!
                                                                  Thanks big brother!
                                              I'm tippytoeing!  Can you tell?  Love my candles
                                                             and hand lotion!

Can you say "March Mudness!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I just really love this time of the year! Spring is in the air. Leaving the screen doors open in the a.m. and at night. Putting away winter gear and getting out spring clothes. Trying to do a little "spring" cleaning everyday....whether it be a drawer, a closet, a toy box or the frig. And now I can add to the list!!!!!!!!!!!! Washing mud off of every shoe, changing clothes a couple of times a day, moving hoses and thinking of reasons not to go into the front yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead of flowers around our beautiful little willow tree, we now have a messy mud pit! Oh , but what fun! And I have to admit..............I made many mud pies back in my day!
Doesn't this look fun???????????? I have since "hidden" these shoes...
More water, more mud......more water, more mud......
Oh yeah! The old Tonka mudder........
And don't forget the "mud" cement mixer.......yeah...........

Loving life around the Cypert household..........hope February was full of "love" for all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Memories.........................2011

"Santa" and I can't wait to get home after the Christmas Eve festivities and really get down to it! We each have our expertise............"Santa" arranges the many special gifts and makes each boy's area look spectacular and fun! "Mrs. Claus" gets busy with stockings, last minute forgotten hidden gifts, and cookies and milk! We are proud of our accomplishments.........and exhausted and excited all the same time..........this year was especially fun..........and a little"romantic" and sweet with the newly fallen snow that started coming down just as we started out task! We giggled and awed over the excitement of Christmas morning.........coming very soon.............goodnight to you all!!
The glistening of the light falling snow on Christmas Eve..........

Makes the whole world and the magic of the season feel just right!

Sneaking downstairs quietly and peeking..............

Welcome to my world! My friends always said I "should write a book".............well this is as close as it gets. Each day is full of adventure at the Cypert house. Hopefully I can capture moments and share them with others.....................everyday is a gift from Above....so very thankful to be in "my" happy place...........join me!
