Guess who turned 55!



You guessed it, Rick! His birthday was Sunday Jan. 17 and we had a fun party with Kirsti and the girls. They came to spend the weekend with us and helped celberate!! He got some really nice gifts. He got some new shirts for work, season 4 of "Lost", "The Joseph Smith Papers" book 1 and 2, the books "Reflections on Christ" and "Another Testament" by Mark Mabry (he also got a CD and DVD that goes with "Another Testament"), and a wallet. He loved his cards. Becky and Scott sent him a neat one that played Star Wars music and commented on how long ago he was born. My Mom sent him a great card with a cute monkey in sun glasses on the front that said OK... Light the candles. It took him a while and help from Kirsti to relize the back of the card said "and call the fire department". Tommy called to wish Rick "Happy Birthday" and said he was sending the new "Star Trek" movie in blue ray. Thanks so much everyone for making his day special.

It was fun having Kirsti and the girls here for the weekend. It was kind of low key, but Rick did take Kenzie and Ashley sledding. They had so much fun!! Of course I had to run over and get some pictures. They were gone a lot longer than I thought they would be, because it was so cold. They were sledding almost 2 hours. Wow! They akso helped Grandma make banana bread. We used my new Bosh mixer. (It was my mother-in-laws mixer she had for years, but never used.) It was the first time I had used the mixer and just loved it. We made 7 loaves of banana bread. And you should of seen us covered in flour, bananas and eggs. It has been a long time since I baked with little ones help. It was so fun!
