The Polar Bear, Towel and Zebra Dress

Well, I am officially 32!!! Being ever so thoughtful, Mike decided to take the boys shopping for Mommy's birthday gift. Before leaving he video taped them declaring what they wanted to get me. Braden wanted to get me a "pretty dress" and Jackson thought I needed a "beach towel". With these ideas in mind Mike knew exactly what department to guide them to, this time he video taped their selection process. First he took Jackson to the towel section, he spent no time making a decision, saw the first towel that caught his eye and said that was it. It had a pretty brown, green and yellow leaf print on it. Next was the dress section for Braden to make his selection. He thought I deserved a pretty dress that I could wear to the zoo...a zebra print was what he had in mind! Amazingly enough, zebra print is in right now so guess what I got...a black and white zebra striped summer dress!!!

So Mike wrapped these gifts up and had each of the boys autograph their hand picked cards. Jackson was first to present his gift to me. I opened the card first and there lay a polar bear with its head in the pool of water. Jackson was so proud trying to show me how the "polwar bears head is in the water, mommy". I opened the card and it read "Wishing you a Happy Birthday, Just go easy on the tequila"!!! Oh my goodness, I was dying with laughter and of course thinking to myself that this might be a little forshadowing?!

Braden on the other hand presented me with a card that had a nice baseball on it with a simple happy birthday written across it. I opened the card and inside it read "from your number one fan"-of course, so Braden.

What memorable gifts and cards I received from my wonderful boys! All thanks to their amazing, thoughtful father!!! Thanks for making my birthday so SPECIAL!!!

To see it through their eyes...
