Tommy's 31st Birthday

Tommy turned 31 on the 18th. The day started off with birthday breakfast and opening presents. I made him IHOP style french toast with bacon. Later that morning Caleb, Bailey and I met up with him for the BYU football open practice. It was such a good day for football, the weather was perfect. The kids LOVED it and LOVED being with daddy. Tommy had some of his favorite candy and drinks to snack on. I came back home with the kids for naps while Tommy went back to work. Later that afternoon we went to the BYU Meet and Greet with all the different athletes. They had music, games, autographs, etc. Unfortunately I was still sick so we just hit Rumbi Island grill on the way home for dinner. We then came home and sang and had Tommy's favorite cake; Better Than Sex Cake. Caleb helped me make it the night before and had been anxiously waiting ALL day to have a piece. We hope you had a great day!! We love you so much and are so grateful for everything you do for us! You are the best daddy and a wonderful husband!

Tommy and I were able to finally go out last night to celebrate together (poor guy had a wife with pneumonia who couldn't get out of the house). Thanks mom and dad for watching the kids. We went up to Joe's Crab Shack and had some yummy seafood. We then went and saw Time Traveler's Wife and shared a Peanut Butter Cup Shake (my first sugar in 12 weeks). It was a fun evening with the hubby! Happy Birthday babe! I LOVE YOU!!!

Car Show

As part of the Lindon days that took place last week, they had a car show on Thursday night that we took the kids too. They both LOVE looking at cars. We were not sure how many cars would be there but we were surprised at how many were there. The kids had so much fun checking out all the cars. They were both walking around carrying their little play cars and would make comments like "Wow, Cool" (Bailey) and "Holy Crap" (mouth wide-open, Caleb). They had many people laughing with their interest in the cars. It was a fun thing to just quick take the kids too. Tommy and I had just as much fun checking the cars out :)
This was the "transformer" car. All the symbols and caps under the hood had the transformer icon. Caleb thought it was so cool.This car was sweet. It is the 2010 Charger.

A Great Way To Spend The Day

My sweet sister, Stephanie invited me and the kids up to have lunch and play at the new water fountain park by her house. We went to the Blue Lemon Grill. It was SO good! I loved the cafe atmosphere and the food was so yummy! We shared a Turkey avocado sandwich on wheat and then split the raspberry vinaigrette salad. We also had sweet potato fries with THEE best dipping sauce and some hummus and bread. It was all so good! I will be going back, and soon. After lunch we headed to the Highland Park. They just put in a water area with fountains, etc. It was so cool and the kids LOVED it!! I wish Utah County had something like it. Steph and I got to visit while the kids got drenched. Caleb and Bailey were so excited to be with their cousins and Aunt "Stesanie". We headed to her house after for Popsicles and I got a tour of their basement, while the kids got some more cousin time. It was such a great day and we will need to do it again soon. Thanks so much Steph for such a fun and enjoyable afternoon.
