I loved my birthday this year. I have been celebrating for four days straight. It started Thursday with dinner with Joel, Julie, and Maddie at the Olive Garden. They presented me with a new camera from all of my children. It is so wonderful. Thank you, children, for your thoughtfulness and sacrifice. I love it so much. You will be seeing more pictures and pages done now. Will,
Kelly and boys had us over for dinner on Friday. We barbecued chicken, corn and asparagus, then feasted on cupcakes from our favorite bakery in American Fork. It is the one that puts the frosting on as thick as the cake is tall. It is fabulous. Saturday was spent with friends. Larry, Lisa, Steven, and Lorri stopped by for a visit and we all decided to take the dirt road over Guardsman Pass into Midway to attend Swiss days. A road trip with these guys is always great. We hurried home to go out with our dear friends, Jim and Connie. We tried a new restaurant downtown and we ev
en dressed up which made it seem like it was a real occasion. The celebrations ended with dinner at Paul and Bree’s house on Sunday evening. Rikki and Seth joined us there. We had stuffed manicotti with all of the trimmings, and a very beautiful birthday cake (Thanks Bree and Nicole, it was outstanding). Abby directed us in Birthday Bingo, which she won and so did Livvy. The celebrations and dinners were all so very fun and appreciated. I would like to say thank you to my children, family members, friends, and the love of my life, David, for making me feel so special this year. I loved the phone calls, sentiments, cards, gifts, and spending time with everyone. I am a very blessed woman to have heard from all my children on my birthday. Thank goodness for "IN" minutes on Verizon so Jessica and Audrey and I could talk so long. Families are what it is all about and I have a very very incredible one.

I'm glad I was there to witness your best birthday ever. Happy Birthday darling!
I'm so glad you had such a fun birthday. We had so much fun with you and Zack loved having you over. He's still trying to get me to roll off the back of the couch with him;)We love you.
I also am glad that your birthday turned out wonderful. Abby walked into our room this morning climbed into bed and whispered in my ear "Mom, we had such a fun party for Grandma yesterday"! I hope this whole year continues to bring you just as much happiness!
Your family is indeed great. A Happy Belated Birthday from your delinquent sister! Celebrations are always so fun and birthday cake just has to be the best...especially white with white frosting. You look beautiful and your countenance radiates the love you have for your family and the love they have for you. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from your new camera.
Forgot to say...is that a new header? Looks fabulous.
You deserve the best! I am glad that it was a wonderful birthday. That should be the new rule: The older you are, the longer you celebrate. Then we'd all really look forward to our birthdays. We love you!
It's pretty cool that you got to celebrate with friends and family over a couple of days. I'm so glad you had a wonderful birthday; you deserve it!
What a wonderful birthday for a woman who deserved it. You are such a good wife, mother and grandma, that it is nice to see the fun turning around to focus on you. I love your new blog header. You do such a great job in all that you do. I am finally able to sit down and do a few of the things you have taught me, so check out my blog as it has really changed. Thanks to you! XOXO
