I will fill you in on the birthday festivities, but first, I must tell you about Fwannie. As I had told you before, my 9 year baby girl, had surgery on my birthday. She had "stinotic nares" surgery, it pretty much opened her wittle nosey so she could breath better. More importantly (for anyone within 5 feet of her) she got her teeth cleaned!! They were nasty. Just to give you an idea, they had to remove 4 teeth that were causing crowding, and allowing HAIR to get stuck inbetween them. (insert barfing noise here) Anyways, here she is after surgery, if you look closely, you can see the blue strings/stitches in her nosey..
Ok, onto the fun part. So, Cam had secretly been planning my birthday. Of course, I blew it when I scheduled Fwannie surgery on my birthday, not knowing there was anything planned. So, we had to drop her off the night before. Anyways...for my birthday, Cam got me this necklace that I had been wanting for a while...I LOVE it!
Then, a couple days before my bday he tells me that he had made plans for us. He had gotten us a hotel at Ameristar in KC! So, the day before my b-day we drove up to KC, stopped at Legends on the way to do a tad bit of shopping. Are you sitting down?.... I didnt buy anything! Then we went on to the hotel, Cam had gone to the liquor store and got "supplies" for the night of fun! Then we got ready, went to dinner, and Cam gave me $ to gamble, knowing full good and well that I would NOT spend my own $ gambling :) So, I ventured out a tried something new, and didn't do slots, but I sat and played black jack! It was so much fun!! I even went over and played craps with Cam, and got to throw the dice (even though I don't fully understand what was happening)
Here is Cam making one of the bathroom sinks into a cooler of sorts..Oh, and we made a new drink, its UV blue and the blue Monster drink...it turns green, so we named it the green dragon!
Us before dinner
Ok, so if you know me, you know my hair is super straight, a curling iron is worthless on this mop, b/c it just falls back to straight in an hours time...so before bed I showered b/c I smelled like a smokey casino, and I decided to roll tiny sections of my hair into little buns all over my head, in hopes that when I woke up, it would be curly!! FAIL...I woke up, took out all the bobby pins, and I looked like I stuck my finger in a socket! Yikes!
So, after I got this hair under control, we headed back to Topeka, had lunch, and Cam had gotten me a birthday cake from coldstone, some coffee lovers ice cream, and a card (up until my bday, I had never received a card from Cam) Inside the card was a handwritten note (the best part was that he had gotten into my scrapbooking stuff and used stickers and rinestones on the card) saying that he had made reservations for us on April 7th to go to Row House, a shmancy resturaunt I have been wanting to try, but they are only open Wed-Sat (Cam works all those days) well, he will be in training during the day that week, so he will be off the 7th evening with me!
It was a BEAUTIFUL day out, so we decided to enjoy outside, and go to the lake and drop a pole in and see what we could catch. End result....nada
Isn't he handsome?!! I just wanna kiss his face!

Before we go to the next picture, I must explain that I was CLUMSY on my b-day...not sure why. So, we are on this dock, had a couple of lawn chairs set up, and Cam's bucket to put his fish in (it was empty) so I stand up and am doing God knows what, and I fell, not just tripped, I full on face dove, onto the dock..I've got bruises as proof. In the process, I knocked the bucket into the water. Cam was more concerned about that bucket than me laying there like a dummy! It was sooo funny, you had to be there. Anyway, I made it my goal to get that darn bucket! While I was trying...apparently Cam was taking pics..
I got the **** bucket!!!
