July 10 - 12, 2009
I had a really fun weekend at Kirsti and Blake's house. I was "surprised" when Tommy and his girl friend Sam showed up too. (Let's just say Kirsti isn't too good at keeping secrets.) We had a wonderful weekend together. The Izatt's got to meet Sam and Tommy got to see Kirsti's new house. Plus I got to be with them all, all weekend. It was so nice to have my whole family together. I loved it. It was the best birthday present I could of ever had!!
On Friday the 10Th we all enjoyed a great dinner. We had Hawaiian Haystacks. Kenzie chose that meal for her birthday dinner. It was so good. I have been having some problems with my stomach and that just hit the spot. It tasted so good.
On Saturday we celebrated my birthday (July 8th) and McKenzie's birthday (July 14th). I made Kenzie a big birthday cake. She wanted a pink cake and that is what she got. We sang Happy Birthday to her right after lunch and watched her open her presents. (I got some presents too!!) Then everyone, except Kirsti and I, took off to go see Kennecott Copper Mine. Thomas and Sam had never seen it. And since we had gone to see it the last time we were at the Izatt's, Kirsti and I stayed at her house and enjoyed our books and some quite time. Everyone had fun. Then at 5:00 pm we met it Salt Lake at Benihanan's. That is one of my favorite restaurants. They cook your food right at your table and make a great show of it. It was absolutely wonderful. The food was delious and it was fun watching everyone try to use chop sticks. We discovered Ashley loves shrimp and onions. Tommy and Sam were the best at it. Even Ashley and Kenzie tried. Then they sang happy birthday to both Kenzie and I, and we blew out our candle on our ice cream and cake they brought us. Everyone enjoyed ice cream for desert. Then back to Kirsti's for the kids bath and bedtime. After watching some TV we all headed to bed. It was a perfect day!
Sunday morning we said good bye to Thomas and Sam as we headed to Church and they went to Lagoon. Sam had never been to Utah before, so Tom wanted to take her to Lagoon. I really hate the good byes, but love the hugs. Church was nice. Blake was made the 2nd Counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency. We were glad we could be there for that. Then back to the Izatt's for a quick lunch and more good byes. I miss them all so much already. I hope we can plan more times when we are all together.
We arrived home at 4:30 pm. At around 9:30 pm we had an amazing lightening show with lots of thunder. It lasted at least 2 hours. I really loved it. My poor dog didn't though.
