~St. George/50th Party~

Kimberly, Ali, and I headed down to St. George the day after my dad turned 50!! He was gone hunting but we were planning a surprise party for him, when he returned. My mom flew up and drove back down with us. It was nice to have her company on the drive and it gave us some uninterrupted time to plan some of the party. We had a pretty good drive with the girls. Kimberly did have an accident and Ali had a little breakdown but overall a good drive. We had a pretty busy week to get things done before my dad got home. One of the days Brandy came over for a minute and we got to play with baby Jayleigh. She is so cute and I hope Ali and her are good friends.
My mom took me to Tuachan to see Aladdin. I was so glad I got the opportunity to go. If you haven't been to a show out there it is a must! (Thanks to Keesha for watching my girls so I could enjoy the show)

The big party!!! I can't believe we did it but we did end up surprising my dad for his 50th birthday. His actual birthday is Sept 5 but he was hunting so we planned the party for that Saturday Sept. 8th. My mom took him shopping and then got him a massage. So we had about 2 hours to get everything set up. We had a pretty good turn out with people and for the most part all the decorations we wanted to do. It was a very hot time of day so we were all sweating setting up the party And my shotgun shell lights started falling apart. I'm just glad he was surprised and I think he had a pretty good night.

Most everyone that came. (some people slipped out before we took pictures)

~Birthday Weekend~

 Last weekend we celebrated Jeremy's birthday (his birthday was August 24 but he had to work and the whole family was sick) We were going to go shooting with Grandma Patti, Pa, and Nick but it started to rain so we headed to Hollywood connections. We had a pretty good time.








 Ali and her thumb








 A couple days later Patti watched Ali and we took Kimberly out shooting. It was my first time shooting the shotgun. I really enjoyed it!! I got a pretty good bruise on my arm but it was worth it. I think Kimberly had fun also, it was her first time out. She like loading the clay pigeons for us.







 Then she got to try out a BB gun. We had to take a picture of the first clay pigeon she hit.




Hopefully Jeremy had a good birthday weekend! I know I enjoyed the family time.
