I can't believe my baby is 9 already!

Unfortunately, I was extremely ill on her birthday which was the 28th. I'm just starting to feel better and able to post some of these. The poor thing took care of me on her birthday. She really didn't have to but that is just her nature to be the mother hen. I ended up sleeping all day and was able to get up and take her to cheerleading practice. Thank god for my girlfriend Sandy who watches "S" during the summer . . . she made her a megaphone cake and brought it to practice. I also had Grandpa pick up an ice cream cake for the family as well. Luckily we had celebrated her birthday weeks beforehand with her friends at Enchanted Forest.

I grabbed a few shots of her eating cake at cheer practice!
This is one of her gifts she got from Aunt Carrie! She loves science so she thought this would be a great gift especially because the Lunar Eclipse occurred on her birthday. . .what a perfect idea!
Here she is setting it up and getting it ready to check out the moon come nightfall.

Did 38 really do this to me?

Well it's now been 2 days after my birthday and I believe my melt down is over! As the date was approaching, I felt fine. I got up on the 22nd and just seemed like a normal day. Then BAM! The day just seemed to turn into one of those feel sorry for me days. I don't feel old, I'm told I don't look it either but man I was not a happy camper on my birthday. All my friends and family called me all day long to wish me a happy birthday. Even my favorite cousin (well I have 2) called me who I haven't seen or spoke to in a year probably. . . he put a smile on my face though :) Hopefully this isn't a sign of what is to come when I hit 40 because I might just need to be committed by then LOL!
