Mark's Birthday

Mark was home for his birthday this year. During the day he planted trees and bushes in our yard. He claims that he likes to do yard work so I guess that was a good thing to do on his birthday :) That evening we went out to eat at Mandarin Garden with my family and Dave and Kristy. While we were eating dinner Mark realized that this was the first birthday in 7 years that he has spent at home in Utah! The day before his birthday we had cake and steak at my mom and dad's house. Unfortunately in the candle blowing out picture it looks like we had a house fire, but he isn't that old, so I don't know why it looks smokey.

Alex's Birthday!

Last Saturday was Alex's birthday, and he turned three! Unfortunately, Saturday is also the day that Lindsey and Dustin moved to Star Valley. We will miss them a lot! I made some cupcakes, and we all met at Linds and Dustin's old place to help them load up their stuff. Then Alex blew out his candles and opened some presents. After that we all drove to Star Valley for the weekend. It was a long weekend, but we had lots of fun being with family. Alex seemed to enjoy his birthday too, he loves going to Star Valley. Since we got back he says in his prayers "please bless us to go back to Star Valley, and see Pom Pom, and the red barn".

Here is the slide that Alex got for his birthday.

Here he is enjoying his ice cream breakfast.

These are the cupcakes I made. I think they are dang cute!
