Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday Jay!

Jason turned the big 33 this weekend. Because his birthday was on Sunday we celebrated the whole weekend long.

Friday night Jason and I went up to Salt Lake and ate at Flemmings for the first time. We had an unforgettable cheese platter and a delicious stake. And then hurried back to watch the Jazz and eat chocolate sundae pie.
Saturday we went to see Iron Man with all of Jason's family and then back to his parents for a pizza party.

Sunday we headed up to Wallsberg for a yummy bullsale birthday dinner and strawberry shortcake.

MOHAW

We had a Fabulous time in Moab this weekend! We went down with Jason's family for the annual car show.
Some of the highlights included:
Early morning basketball and obstacle courses with the kids.
Fins and Things (Jason''s dream trail. I had to close my eyes throughout a lot of it.)
Our flat tire 1 minute into our first ride on the Rhino.
Hot dogs and playing at the park.
The fun cave we hiked through.
Muddy Buddies
Picnic lunches out on the rocks.
Cheering on the Jazz at night.
Erin's big tub of yummy treats she made.
Lucy got to stay with her aunt Enion and Ellie & go where ever they went.
The kids got a full weekend of playing with their cousins.
I got to be with Jason for 3 full days!!

At night we would take our chairs down on Main Street to watch all the excitement of the cars and people.

Our kids must of yelled Light 'em up 1000 times.



Abbie wanted to be with her Grandma and Grandpa every second while we were there. When we got home she asked if she could move in with them and kept looking for her suitcase so she could pack her things. Thank you SO MUCH Craig and Teresa for such a fun weekend! We made some fun memories and had such a great time all being together. Thanks for sharing your Rhino's, helping us with our kids, and planning such a fun trip for us all. We love you!

While the boys looked and looked at all the millions of cars and trucks we played with the kids at the park.

On Friday we went on a ride to a really neat cave.

Saturday we went to Fins and Things. I had no idea what I was in for. My kids couldn't figure out what I was so scared about. Jason and the kids had the time of their lives. Thank Heavens my Mother in Law was leading the pack because when I saw her bail out I knew I should follow. We had to walk down a few spots when we got too nervous.

The whole gang.

We missed you Lewis and Muriel!

Our only mishap was our flat tire just as were were leaving the first day. But we were up and back riding in no time.

Hoorah! Abbie can ride a bike.

Saturday we decided to take the kids to the park and teach Abbie how to ride a bike. Jason took her trainning wheels off and followed Max and Emilee on their bikes over to the park. Abbie decided that she wanted to run with me. At first I was a little hesitant because we were going a couple miles away and I was worried that it was too far for her. But she surprised me at how she just keep going and was determined to make it all the way there. She kept telling me that her heart was beeping so fast and every once in a while she would stop and lift up her shirt to see how skinny she was getting. It was so fun to have her with me and her non stop talking and funny comments kept me company on the way. I love you Abbie!

Once we got to the park Jason put her on her bike, gave her a push and off she went! Her very first try she took off and never looked back. Wow! What a fun day it was all riding our bikes together. I had Lucy behind me in a bike seat. I hope we can to it again sometime soon!

A taste of Summer

Last week for Spring Break we had a lot of fun. We went to the park, went swimming, saw Horton Hears a Who, had a sleep over at Grandma Millers, and spent a day of fun up at Grandma Clarks feeding the horses & fish, and playing outside. The kids also spent some quality time outside playing with all of their friends. They got the summer fever and decided to have a lemonade stand even though it wasn't really lemonade weather. I think me and Lucy were their only costumers but they had a lot of fun and it kept them entertained for awhile. All in all Spring Break was a nice little break from school and fun to be together for a whole week!
