I Had the Most Amazing Birthday . . .


I received a dozen long stemmed beautiful red roses for my birthday from my dear husband. Thank you honey, that really meant a lot to me. You really helped to make my day special.

I love our sweet son McKay with all my heart. He asked me if he would be a part of my birthday. He is a huge part of my life and I love him so much.

I went to lunch at Mimi's Cafe with my dear parents, sister and niece. Thank you Dad for paying for our lunch.

My niece Breanna (on the left) is such a sweet girl and came to lunch with us. I have the greatest sister in the whole world. She does so much for me and I love her so much.

That evening, Steven and my parents took me to Magleby's for dinner. We had a wonderful time together.

Thanks for a fun evening guys.

After dinner, we stopped at my sister's house and I was blown away with the biggest surprise party ever. I walked in the door and my entire family were there singing Happy Birthday to me. My parents, Steven and McKay were there. Randy and Toni and their family were all there. My sister, Lynette and her family were all there, except Chelsea was cheering at a game. Brandon and Coleman were there, Lynsi was at a shower. Jeff and Natalie and Brynlie were there. Brad and Cathy and their family came down from Idaho (that was a wonderful surprise), and Ryan and Tyler were there, Carol and the other kids were out of town. My sister and family went to a lot of work to make me feel extra special. They gave me a huge bouquet of balloons, had a video about my life, we played games, had cake and ice cream and they all went in together on a Cricket machine (for scrapbooking, letters, etc). What a thoughtful and unexpected gift. It was a wonderful party and I will always remember the kindness my family showed me.

Once you get balloons for your birthday, they become McKay's. Have fun with the balloons buddy.

Dad's Birthday and Happy New Year . . .


Dad's birthday is on New Years and we had a wonderful birthday celebration for him. He is the best father ever and we love him so much. Thank you Dad for all you do for everyone. We had dinner and dessert with most of the family and had a great evening.

Hi Jeff and Nick.

Kaden and McKay had a lot of fun playing together. Hi boys.

It was really nice to see Brad and Cathy and their family. They came down from Idaho to see the family and also drop off Breanna and Kalie. The girls are going to stay with Dad and Mom while Kalie goes to school and Breanna works full time.
