My Surprise and Sarah is 3 months!

This is a picture of the Westgate Hotel where Paula

and I spent a night. A few weeks before I called

Paula and Jacki and decided for all of our birth-

days, I wanted us to go up to Park City and have

dinner and spend the night. (Sorry LeAnne!)

Well because of Jacki's last trip to the hospital

it was just Paula and I. I had no idea what

the place would look like so we were pretty

excited to see that it was gorgeous!

Here is a picture of our room. We went up on

June 10th. It was the beginning of my big

50th celebration! We went to dinner and be-

cause all the shows started too late we got

a red box and went back to the room. Paula

enjoyed watching that on her own because

by surprise, I fell asleep! The next day we

got up and worked out and then went shopping

like it was Christmas. We had so much fun!

On my actual birthday, I had the day off of work.

First Ashley and I went into Salt Lake and met

with a flower/caterier lady. Then we came home

and I had told the boys that we would have to do

something fun. I told Chelsea to pack a lunch and

I would meet them at the park. It was so nice!

We ate our lunch and I told Chelsea that this

was the best thing ever, to be outdoors, which

I love and to eat a sack (homemade) meal. I

also pointed out the fact that we were going to

Cortney's for dinner and not out to eat. Does

anyone else get sick of going out? I like it

but not all the time. We brought bread and

the ducks were not hungry at all, except for

this overgrown one that loved all the bread,

as you can see!

Well we got home from that and I did a few things

around the house until Lindsey and Ashley got

home. We were going to Cortney and Rodger's

house for dinner. When I got out in the garage

Lindsey and Ashley were all ready to Lindsey's

car. I asked her why she was driving and they

said just to get in. When I got in, Ashley was

behind me. She said, "Now don't get mad", as

she put a blind fold on me! We drove around so

I really couldn't tell where I was at, but we

ended up at Nichol's Park right below us.

They helped me out of the car and this is

what was waiting for me!

I couldn't believe it. Everyone showed up for

my birthday. Chelsea pointed out that we were at

the park again! I loved it! Everyone brought a

sack lunch so we ate and then of course

Cortney had a game planned.

She had us divide up into 2 teams. We had to

go to each station and do different excercises.

Jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, bicep curls,

jump rope. It was very fun!

Everyone participated! It was hilarious!
Oops, at the very end there was a picture
of the questions she had everyone answer.
I will be downloading that picture because I
want it in my book! Whoever guessed the
right answers got the prize. 1st prize was
a jar of peanut butter! Wahoo! (It was Ashley)
and then the 2nd place team got suckers!
Love this picture!

Me and my sisters! All those that

could come.

Then they had me open my gifts. I got a lot

of nice things! Then I opened this gift from

my girls. I opened and it was a book they had

made up for me. It was beautiful!

It started from when I was born, through Jr. High,

High School, my mission up to current. Then

there is 2 pages of each child and their families.

Then they had written down some of their most

memorable times or things about me. I started

to read them out loud because everyone was

gathered around listening but I couldn't get

through a lot of it. I was laughing and crying at

the same time. It is something that I will always

cherish forever!

After we went and played kickball. That

was a blast.

Honestly I have the best kids in the world!

They mean the world to me! Thank you

so much. On the back there was a picture

of Annie because they didn't want to forget

her and then it said "You're old"! I will

be 50 anyday if that's what it takes to see

my kids grow old like me! (Tee Hee!)

And . . . . . . don't think I would forget Sarah's

3 month old pictures! Most of us call her

Sarah Sue and Isaac wonders why they didn't

name her Sue instead of Elizabeth! She is

beautiful! (Sorry Chels, her flower is in

the middle!)

The boys leave to be with their Mom for a month

so I had them spend the night. Because they

never get to feed her with a bottle they did

all the work. They loved it. So did Sarah!

Great job!

This weekend Joey took the boys up camping

so Chels and Sarah spent the night. I got

to sleep next to little Sarah all night! When

she is really tired and ready to sleep, up go

her hands to get comfortable!

Life is good!
