Weeks of the Past..

So my birthday came and went. It was probably the hardest birthdays I ever had.  I always wondered what it was like to have your own birthday.  Now I know that I don't like it.  As I was driving to church on my birthday tears just feel, all I wanted for my birthday was to celebrate it with Steph.  It was a good birthday, I spent all weekend out with friends.  On Sunday I spent it with the family.

What would the day be without Smash and I making faces at the camera. 

The day would not have been complete without this little one and her smiles!
How could I forget him? Playing the piano with Great Gramm and Grandma. 
When Matthew and Brooklyn are here I usually get the camera out.  I was taking pictures of Brooklyn the other day, Matthew comes right up to me and points the camera towards him.  It is so funny to watch.  If he sees my camera in the room he will also pick it up and bring it to me.  Model in the making? 
My mom celebrates her birthday just ten days after me.  She turned 50 this year!! whoot, whoot!  Bet you would have never guessed she was that old huh?  Smash and I decieded a couple of months ago that we were going to through her a surprise party!  It was a hit.  We pulled it off! We thought for sure she knew but when she pulled up and saw what was going on she didn't quite know what to do.  We just celebrated with the fam the night of her actual birthday.  The following Saturday was when the big party happened. Smash and I are still recovering from it...

I love this picture of my parents laughing! My dad isn't going to be very happy that I am showing everyone. But I enjoy it so much! 
I told you he just poses for the camera.
I turned to see this face during my Momma's birthday dinner.  The funny part she keep looking at me just like this.  I said "Smash what do you need?"  Her response "take a picture of me Meags."  Isn't she funny? Side note: I love running. Never in my life did I ever think I would say that.  Last Thursday I decided that I was going to run home from work. I work at the Pingree School for Autistic kids. Its only three miles away.   As the day came to a close, I started doubting myself,  I didn't leave myself any other options beside running home, so I had to run it.  I started and pushed myself the whole way.  I did it! It was a huge accomplishment.  Yay! for over coming a challenge I have face my whole life.  I still have my moments.  However I look forward to the next challenge.
