The BIG 5-0

Well, it finally came and went- my 5oth birthday. Everyone kept asking me if I was depressed but I'm really not. I feel exactly the same today as I did when I turned 25- except maybe I am happier now! :)Cammi and Marc, Joe and Helen and Ryan surprised me with a dinner party at Goodwood BBQ. I was really surprised to have all my friends and family there- Dallin and Megan, Jeff and Sharon, Alvin and Tye, Gaylun and Karen and Mike and Debbie.The Murrays and Lewis' came at the beginning but had to leave right after I got there except for Tyson who stayed with the party!And last but not least all of the grandkids were there too. I got black ballons, beautiful flowers, canvas pictures that Cammi and Marc made of the grandkids, and gift certificates to the Mall and to Outback. Dinner was yummy and I had alot of fun! Thanks kids for making my birthday great!

The grandkids love their quilts!



My Mom- who is a master quiltmaker- made quilts for her great grandkids. Here is Violet with her purple wedding ring quilt (she looks pretty happy about it!!) and Warrik with his patchwork quilt- of course he is all boy and decided to wear it like a cape! Check out Cammi's blog for a picture of Lila with her quilt (a beautiful Dresdan plate in pink!) and I hear a rumor that a pinwheel quilt is in the works for Miss Chloe.......

Here is a picture of Ryan at his last hockey game. The team is doing really good so far this year- they won their first game 6-5 in a shoot out, the second game 9-0 and the third game 10-0. You can check out the website on my page to see pictures, stats, etc...if you are interested in hockey!

HALLOWEEN!!


Yes, it is that time of year! These "things" are all over my house while Joe prepares for his annual haunted house. I have a skull fountain in my garage too.....


Violet is 2 months old now- she wasn't in the mood to smile but I think this picture is cute!



I love this picture that was in our local newspaper this week. We are now into the fall season and this shows the fall leaves along with the snow that fell a few days ago. I love the fall in Utah- it just doesn't last long enough!Now I need to find the time to go see the leaves in person instead of in the newspaper! :)

So today I sent an email to everyone on the hockey team about the sweatshirts we are ordering and instead of typing "sweatshirts" I typed "sweatshits". One parent emailed me back and said that sweatshits might be okay for the players but the parent's would prefer a sweatshirt. Another said I must be stressed if I was using that kind of language. I am so embarrassed!!


I love to watch movies but don't take the time to do it very often. I heard that "Little Miss Sunshine" was a good one so I rented it last week. I have to say I thought itwas a great movie! When they are eating dinner and the Mom puts all the unmatching plastic cups on the table it was like- yeah, I get that! I laughed alot and I cried once (although that is not a hard thing to get me to do). I laughed and cried at the end! Ryan thought I was crazy




I am reading this book right now...it is the sequel to Twilight. I think I am enjoying this one more than the first and I hear that the third one (Eclipse) is even better.
