Birthdays All Around...

I had a great birthday this year and everyone made me feel super special.  Russel is so good at taking care of me on my birthdays that I get feeling pretty inadequate when it comes to him.  That's definitely a great talent he has.....and I totally get the benefit from that.  The only thing that kinda didn't rock was that we went to dinner and took a few of the kiddos with us....but right as we got sat down and ordered, he was called to the hospital.  He had to leave immediately which left us at the restaurant, stranded, and in the rain.  Luckily Josh was on his way back from a golf tournament in SLC and came for us.  Otherwise, we would've had a long wet walk in the rain :)

My mom and sister also totally spoiled me and came to Logan for a day of shopping and a yummy lunch.  It was awesome!  We just played all afternoon.  They are the best!! 
 Oh and Buffalo Wild Wings gives you a WHOLE bottle of your favorite sauce on your birthday!  SCORE!
My crazy awesome friends really know how to celebrate and they picked me up one night took me out for dessert....coconut frozen yogurt my fav!!  They are the best friends a girl could have!

We also had a big cousin birthday party this summer.  It was so fun and all the kids loved it!  We decided it would just be easier to get everyone together on one day and party it up.  It was great.  The kids all got their favorite kind of candy and we even had a photo booth with props (thank you Gina).  Grandma's swimming pool can turn any day into a party!!  We even had our cute cous, Makenna, from Arizona at the party!  Poor Josh is a working man now and missed it.  He basically does two things, Golf and Work at the Golf Course.  What a dream life right?

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Image
Meili's only request this year was to spend her birthday in Bear Lake.  That was not a problem.  Since it was also Raspberry Days that weekend, my family planned to come spend a fun-filled weekend with us.  Russel and I decided to come the night before and bring the three little kids with us.  We thought it would be super fun to go down to the KOA and rent a 6-person bike and ride around town.  It was a little harder than we thought since Russel and I were pretty much the man power.  We kept telling the kids to start pulling their weight and get pedaling!  JD kept complaining a little that his heart was hurting.  Well he's definitely a little athlete so I'm just thinking he's being lazy.  I kept telling him to get his groove on and get moving. Well after about an hour we returned the bike and went for snow cones.  The best snow cones in all of Bear Lake.  Yum!  Anyway, JD kept saying his heart was going so fast and I kept brush...

Girls, Girls, Girls....

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world. Several things have happened this month so I am devoting however long it may take today to get everything posted. This past weekend Abi invited 4 friends to go to the Nutcracker with her and Meili....of course Russel and I tagged along as well. We went to the matinee showing and beforehand they had a Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party that was an absolute must. All the girls dressed up in fancy dresses and we had a great time. The tea party was decorated like a little girl's dream. Pink everywhere, sparkles covering everything, gooey pink sweet dessert, and many performers from the show mingling and taking pictures. Abi is truly blessed to have such good friends and this is only just a handful of them. The girls were so cute and had a great time. During intermission, we ran across the street to the famous Bluebird Restaurant to get them chocolates and candy (wonderful suggestion from Courtney). Oh...and it was also quite a...

Beautiful Drive up Logan Canyon...

Image
On Saturday, we decided to take a little drive up the canyon and look at the beautiful fall colors and my oh my were they gorgeous!! We've been up there twice this week and just can't get enough. This time we remembered the camera. :) The kids loved seeing the vibrant leaves. The drive is truly an hour of awesomeness. Plus it's always nice to know there's a very yummy fresh raspberry shake waiting for you....not to mention chocolate covered raspberries. Just a few of our favorite moments in Bear Lake. Here are a few of the "hundreds" of pics that Russel took. He has "trigger finger." I think I narrowed it down pretty good though.....although sometimes it's hard to tell if #95 looks better #3. :)
