Birthday Q&A

Hey there!  Yesterday happened.  I turned 37.  That still sounds so crazy.


My blog friend, Dara, does a little interview with her kid's on their birthdays, so I decided to borrow her idea and ask my family a five questions about my birthday to see what they come up with. 



Question #1:  How old did I turn on my birthday:

Hubby: Older Than Me (He's right)

Kendall: 37 (Unfortunately, she right, too)

Jess: 17 ( I like the way he thinks)

Jentry: 6 (Sometimes I still act like a 6 year old)

Question #2:  If you could buy me anything for my birthday, what would it be?

Hubby: A surprise, something from the heart, and not cookies sheets or something last minute.  (Truth)

Kendall:  A trip to Stars Hollow (She knows me sooo well!)

Jess:  A new dress (I'll take it!)

Jentry:  A Robot (Yes, if it's Rosie from the Jetson's)

Question #3:  What kind of birthday cake should I have?  

Hubby:  A kind without sugar (absolutely)

Kendall:  Red Velvet (I like that, too)

Jess: A pink cake with 17 candles (I love him)

Jentry: A princess cake! (Well, why not?)

Question #4:  What do I do all day when you're at school/work?

Hubby:  Clean house, chase the kids, laundry, jog, go to Bible Study.  (I do!)

Kendall:  You watch those crazy kids and write an awesome blog.  The list could go on.  (She's kissing up,  It's almost Christmas)

Jess:  Work on the computer. (aka: blogging)

Jentry: "Waundree (laundry), it's you're favorite."  (You'd think that, as much as I do)

Question #5:  What is something you have learned from me?

Mark:  How to pray for our children's future spouses. (LOVE!)

Kendall:  If you're going to do something, put your all into it.  Don't halfway do something.

Jess:  How to make cookies.

Jentry:  Twirling!

  5. I LOVE that you interviewed them on your birthday! I might just have to steal this. You and Russ are super close in age too. He turns 37 in about 6 weeks.

    1. Oh, I thought you meant Russ was 17, like me! Ha!! My husband's birthday was last week, but I'm a year older than him. We're only the same age for a few days.
