Thirty-one years and counting...

Here are a few photos I thought I'd share...


Don't I look sweet? It was all an act.

Me putting curlers in my father's hair. He looks real thrilled. Love the awesome 70's outfits.


Here I am in my first bikini - with my dads father in the background. Just check out that carpet, that was some really ugly stuff.

Obviously I had some drinks before this photo was taken, I look way too happy to be hanging out with my dad.

Payton and I at the mall ice skating while Gregg was deployed. They do this every year outside one of our local malls & it's quite fun.

Austin taking a nap on me when he was little at my dad's house on vacation. I just loved those cute little pumas he had on. I wonder where those are now?

And a photo of me with my favorite person in the whole world. This was taken in the backyard after a day of yard work as you can see from my 'fro.

I don't feel 31 years old, it's amazing how that happens. When the day comes that I stop getting carded, you might want to run for the hills. ha ha

Gregg totally surprised me today with a really great gift!! He got us tickets to the United States gymnastics Olympic trials in Philly!! He made reservations at 4 different hotels and printed out photos (including the four seasons & ritz carlton - which we decided upon - and let me pick) I can't believe he thought this up himself. Payton and Austin got me a cookbook (which I had hinted around about), but OMG! Olympic Trials!! I can't wait. They are Next Friday and Sunday. Our friends, Heather & Trace are keeping our kids for 3 nights while we are there. I am totally going to owe them since they have 3 kids of their own. I'm a bit worried about the kids, but it's going to be awesome!!

I wish it was this weekend, waiting is going to be horrific!
