Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!

Well, yes it has been a while since I have updated this. Sorry for the two or three people who might look at it occasionally.

We have had a slug of birthdays during the end of August. And I didn't have my camera for most of the occasions. Jessi turned the BIG 30 on the 21st. We drove to Orem to have dinner with her family and extended family at the Spaghetti Factory. It was a lot of fun and good food. (We also bought a new bedroom set while in Orem.)

Here are the little girls at dinner.

Then the next day, the 22nd was Bret's birthday. He turned 40! Marci had a surprise party for him at the waterslide in South Ogden. We were only able to stop by as it was wrapping up, but it looked like everyone had a great time. Happy Birthday to both of you.

Aury turned 8 on the 24th. On August 29th Grandpa and I picked her up after school and we rode the new Front Runner train into Salt Lake and then we took Traxx to the Gateway and had ice cream and then went to Build-A-Bear. Aury chose a leopard and dressed her in pink. It was a fun day. Aury, we love your new short hair cut.

Emma turned 5 on August 26. They had a party for her on August 30. Here is her cake.

It was a fun one to do. Emma got some great presents that day. The family also got new 4 wheelers, here is Em ready to go.

She has no fear on this or of most anything else. Here she is opening some of her gifts.

Then I found this picture from 4 years ago. My how fast they grow.

Wasn't she cute? She still is and continues to be a princess in our family.

Enough for now. There has been some small progress on our remodel. But supposedly they are starting tile today in the bathroom. I will update tonight if the progess warrants pictures. They did finally pull up the old carpet in the family room, ewwwwwwwww gross. It had literally rotted to the floor in some spots.
