Happy Birthday to Me!

This past Friday I celebrated a birthday. The day started off with lots of phone calls from well wishers- thanks to all of you! Lunch was spent (as is tradition) with LeAnn and Lanelle. How lame of me not to bring my camera. I'm just not as good at remembering to do that as so many of you are. Steve took me to Flemmings at the Gateway for dinner and then to the Jazz game! 18th row! I love going to Jazz games and love it even more when they win...which they did, even without Williams and Boozer playing! I'd like to think the game was won in honor of me (hey, a girl can dream can't she?). Steve also brought me this bouquet of flowers...

Thanks, Honey! It was a great evening. Clint and Heather came down tonight to spend the night and on Saturday Heather and I went to a Women's Conference in the morning. Ardith G Kapp was the keynote speaker and she was amazing! What a great lady! Later Kyle and Han joined us and we had a family dinner- homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Asiago cheese rolls with Chocolate Bundt Cake for Desert. The rolls and the cake were from The Corner Bakery Cafe where Han works and they were delicious.

My Mother sent me a scrapbook that she put together of pictures she thought I might like to have. Some of the pictures I don't even remember ever having done. It was fun to look at them with the kids because they had never seen pictures of me as a child. I really think I was quite a cute little thing but you can judge for yourself...

I'm the one in the middle! What's not to love about that face! This is one of my favorite baby pictures and one of the few I already had. I thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing my senior picture,too so here it is... I think I can here some of you laughing. Sidenote: you could almost call me a redhead. Thanks for the great pictures Mom!

The kids all gave me this picture. It spells our name using pictures...pretty cool ,Huh! I love it!
It now sits above my front door.

We had a fun game of Loaded Questions before the kids all headed home (except Austin of course). Thanks for a fun couple of days!
