Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Paul & Tyler picked a dinner of BBQ Ribs, Sour Cream Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans and a Garden Salad to celebrate their birthday family style. Ashlee made her Sour Dough Bread, so it felt like we had a bit of Becky with us. Afterwards, we played four square until dark, then they were each treated to their favorite dessert, made by their sweethearts. Conrad could not keep his little fingers out of the frosting and every time we looked over at him, he would be inching his way closer to the desserts.

St. George Store Now Closed

Memories:
Broke down 3o miles outside of St. George on the way down. Towed $120 + $13.00 fuel filter + $80 (5 minutes labor) = It could always have been worse. Larry looked up the diners from here to St. George and we happily ate our way through Mom & Pop Diners the entire weekend, beginning in Beaver. We are wanting to support the smaller businesses of America :) Josh wacked a cactus and it wacked him back with plenty of pokies that he has yet to get out... he had to wear his jammie bottoms the rest of the trip. Listening to music and just feeling so happy we were all together. There really is nothing like a good road trip. The boys rode bikes through the hills. Tyler hit a metal pole dead on and crashed. Tyler asking for a Dr. Pecker. Conrad buddying up to Tyler so he could have some of his Dr. Pepper (smart kid). Continuing on our tradition of watching real bad animal-horror movies with an over the top- very tacky Piranha movie (Thank you Katie). Awesome hike. Josh didn't want to go hiking but he did and he loved it (He said he was making lemonade). Phoebe & Conrad are much loved by everyone. Nielsen's Custard. Swimming. Getting in trouble spraying the hose in the pool "I expect that behavior from the kids". Kelsie's dream was fulfilled when she beat her Dad at mini golf, Go Karts were cool. BYU Won! Jimmer fever! Playing Lucky Unders. Tyler & Lindsey's four month anniversary. I hid the rest of Ashlee's sour dough bread in the cupboard and got caught hoarding (anyone who has tasted it would totally understand). Lindsey trying to help me and limited my candy Riesen's... the only problem with being on a calorie counting system is that everyone (Lindsey and Abby) want to know if I track things as I eat them. Saying goodbye to the St. George store, everything was boxed up and ready to go. I am looking forward to seeing what Marcia creates when she opens up her new store "Dandelion Wishes" April 1st in our spot. I am so grateful they are keeping Wendy and the girls. It was a wonderful trip!
