Birthday season is upon us! Clark started things off by turning 21 on February 4th, then I turned ?? on February 20th and then Elliot turned 24 on March 12th. Three down, a bunch more to go!
My sweetie offered to make me Steak Diane for my birthday. All I can say is, “Mmmm.” Oh, and “Thanks sweetie, I love you!”
Clark is officially an adult! He is a great kid and is finishing strong at school as he gets ready to receive a mission call next month! We’re so glad he is a part of our family…
Madeleine and Alan have the April birthdays. This family is pretty steeped in tradition, so of course we had Halusky for dinner and poppyseed cake for dessert. So fun to have the family together!
Yup, Clark and I got another year older….we celebrated together with the family taking good care of us.
Memorial Day weekend always brings birthday celebrations. Loren and Phillip turned 28 on May 28th and Tess turned 25 on June 3rd. Phillip flew in from Oregon to spend the weekend with us. It was a great weekend…Elliot gave his missionary talk in sacrament meeting (all the family came over afterwards), we celebrated Memorial Day and three birthdays! It was definitely a weekend full of family. My mother passed away on Memorial Day 16 years ago. I so wish my parents could be here sharing all these great times with us…I’m sure they are more a part of our lives than we realize. I’m sure they are watching over us all!
Madeleine turned 22 and Alan turned ?? oh, I think it’s 53? We had the traditional Halusky dinner with Poppyseed birthday cake – fun evening together with the fam!
Getting older and older, Elliot had to fight with Kenyon for attention at his birthday dinner! 🙂
I have 3 sisters and 2 sisters-in-law and we have decided that we want to have a monthly Sisters Day. Melanie planned the first one and since it was the week of my birthday, she decided that now that I’m 50, I should “really” start living life, so my sisters took me “flying.”
I would never jump out of an airplane, but for a couple of minutes today, I felt like I had. It was really fun and not at all scary! Watch the video. A really fun surprise to the whole day was that my sister Melinda flew up from Arizona to surprise me and got to be here for the first Sisters Day! We did miss Elasha, who couldn’t join us because she has a brand new darling baby.
Yup, it’s true. I’m getting older along with everyone else…happens every year. Actually I had a great birthday week with many nice Facebook messages, cards, phone calls, treats and gifts. I recognize that I have such wonderful, thoughtful friends and family and am very grateful for all of you.
To make it easier on the family, we celebrated my birthday and Clark’s birthday together. Somehow I lost the candle blowing pie photo, so just a few fun family pics.
