Birthday Surprise!

On Thursday, I got to spend the entire day with Farmboy. So so fun. We went to lunch, the temple, the train tracks for pictures, & then took a drive up the canyon for some more pictures. It was a perfect day. The kiddos spent the day with Aunt CC & it was just nice to be with Farmboy.

The kids got me graham crackers, chocolate, & marshmallows (my favorite treat) & Farmboy informed me that we'd be going up to Midway Friday night to have dinner with my Dad & roast some smores. Yum! I was excited but little did I know it wasn't just dinner & smores with Grandad & Grandma J.

When we arrived there was a huge surprise birthday party for me with all my family! It was AWESOME! And a total surprise. I had forgotten how much I love surprise birthday parties, especially when they are for me.

Thanks Farmboy for such a fabulous birthday weekend. Thanks to all my family who came & enjoyed the weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.


We all went swimming, drank sodas, & ...roasted smores of course. There was even a pinata.

Happy Day!

Everyone should take lessons on "how to be a best friend" from this girl. (sorry to use the same picture over & over again...I just don't have a lot of recent picture of us together). Not only is she one incredible mother & wife...but she is THE GREATEST example of a friend.




Yesterday, I found a little surprise package in my mail. Look at all these goodies. It's not even my birthday! And this necklace is my new favorite thing to wear! You are the BEST!!! Loves to Miss Tina for always doing something for me that I'd never do for myself.

A "Gigantor" Surprise

Baby Gigantor & Mamma Tina gave me the best birthday surprise EVER! They showed up on my doorstep on Saturday afternoon. Talk about your FUN. HY & Gigantor(truely the happiest baby ever) had about as much fun as their mammas did this weekend(aren't we darling--I "borrowed" this picture from Tina). We already feel their absence. Thanks so much for the laughter & the tears. We sure love you. (Stay tuned for more pictures or check this site).
