Happy Birthday Calvin!!

Calvin is ONE !!

Cassie planned a great black and white party.

She had great black and white decorations, yummy food and.....

dipped strawberries.   Delicious!

He is a very sweet boy. He  just watched mommy open his presents.
We played a couple of games.  One was the first to say the joke ( a take off on a comedy routine that had lots of audience participation) the other was pictionary.

Happy Birthday to Calvin!!

Easter

We were able to stop by and see David, Cassie , Madison and Calvin.  Cassie was preparing for an Easter party.  Everything looked so great. 

Here are her cute cookie center pieces.

This is one of the peep topiary

We were a little early for the egg hunt so Madison wanted to take Grandpa on a flower hunt. 

She found some.

Calvin got a flower also.

They got to spend some time with Aunt Sarah.

Mowing

Oops, a little mowing accident

Cafe Rio

Yum, Yum, we discovered cafe rio when we were in Utah for Sarah's graduation.  She had us order the pork burrito...it was wonderful.  When I came home I got online and found a copy cat recipe.  We had it last night and it was wonderful.  You can find the recipe here:

We will definitely be doing this recipe again and I will take pictures. 

Congratulations Sarah!!!

Sarah graduates from BYU!!!

It was freezing.

The dorms that Sarah lived in were torn down a couple of years ago, but here is the  house she lived in her senior year.

She celebrated with Alice.

29 years

Bill and I have been married for 29 years March 26th.  Yea!!  To celebrate Bill planned the whole day.  The first thing he did was pack a lunch and we took the boys on a hike.

He also packed artist pads and pens for us to draw whatever we wanted.  Joey and I attempted to draw the scenery around us.

After the hike we went to Renton and blew glass.  I made an blue and red glass ornament and Bill made a red and white glass heart paper weight.  That was really cool.  For the end of the day we went to Flat Iron grill for dinner.  It was a wonderful day.
