General Conference Carpet Picnic

On Sunday we played with some friends at the park. After a good nap we watched General Conference and had a carpet picnic! It was a fun day!

Note to Blogging Friends...

I've been behind on my blogging...so I went back and added photos in Feb and March so please take a second look. And my dear Brooke...count the photos of Gavin with the snack trap!

We went on another fun playdate on Wednesday! The boys loved the new toys!


Gage did select the dump truck over the doll stroller.


Gavin liked sitting at the bench with a cell phone!

The Party That Never Ends!!!

Ken gets a "Gold Star" for making my birthday fantastic! He set up a massage in the afternoon and then we went to dinner at the Market Street Grill...which is one of my favorites. I knew something was up because the boy was busy cleaning...so when we got home he had set up a surprise party with most of my very favorite people! It was so fun to be with friends, neighbors, and ward members. He had little signs up all over that read, "40 is the new 30." It was a very fun night and I'm thankful to all who helped him pull it off. And...thank you for dressing the babies so cute!


Thank you Kenny G for a great birthday!

The cake was delicious!

Ward friend and playdate organizer...Elizabeth Sweat and darling Rachel.

The awesome Hudak family...Aimee is truly the best neighbor ever!

Isn't Gage just beautiful?

The Best Birthday EVER!!!

So...the night before my birthday Ken said I needed to be ready by 8:30 am to go some where and that he would not be going with me. I was so excited all night and asked him about 50 questions. He did not divulge the secret. I remembered that Sarah had mentioned something about going to "Good Things Utah" but after all those girls did this weekend...I thought there was no way. Imagine my surprise when Sarah and Rachel showed up on my front porch (which is no easy feat). It was even more crazy when we were joined by Corinne, Kristi and Stephanie! Do I have the most amazing friends to do this for me? I love GTU...I watch it every day! Those girls on the show have made me feel not so lonely in my house and they make my mornings enjoyable. I am so happy to say they are just as awesome in person! They are so very kind and had so many lovely things to say. It was just so much fun! After the show we went to lunch at the DoDo...another favorite spot and I haven't been there in years. I cannot thank my sweet friends enough for such a fantastic birthday surprise!

The 11th Anniversary of my 29th Birthday

Thank you Gretchen for the better way to look at today! More details to come...but I still think I'm in my 20's.

Message from SunCrest.org

There will be no bus service to SunCrest or Traverse Ridge due to weather.

SR 92 has been shut down and Highland officers are at the bottom of SunCrest Drive diverting traffic away from the Alpine Hwy.

A Draper PD officer who drove SunCrest Drive at 6:45 said it "was open and okay but to be careful." They are looking for a car that slid off the road, so please do be extra careful if you drive your kids to school this morning.

Please continue to check the blog www.suncrestresidents.blogspot.com for updates today!



Only up at SunCrest do the kids miss school on March 31 because of snow! Instead of going to school, Nikkelle, Lexie and I watched the "Nanny Diaries." Good thing the 9 year old girls have some place to hang out when they are stuck at home!

Weekend Scraptacular

What a fabulous weekend Scraptacular we had to celebrate Sarah's and my birthdays! Rachel arranged for us to have a conference room to scrap in and two rooms to sleep in at the Marriott. It was the first night I spent away from the babies...but Ken did awesome and they had a great time together. In fact, Gavin was a good sleeper and went all the way until 6:30 am for a bottle of milk. Any event with these girls is just too much fun and I haven't laughed that hard in ages! Thank you for the generous gifts and the great time. It was a night to remember!
