The Big 12!

Josh turns 12 today. We tried to make him feel special. He had his favorite breakfast, dippy eggs.


He had a special day at church. He received the priesthood and also had his last day in primary. Then he came home to family and friends for a birthday dinner. We had a full house due to the torrential down pour outside. Wow what a busy day!


He got lots of fun presents too - thanks everybody

Zelda Spirit Tracks DS Game


Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs

Two fun DVD Movies

And. . . . . the Potato Gun!

So fun!

Thanks everyone for making Josh's day special. 

Josh, I can hardly believe you're twelve. I want you to know that while you were being blessed with the priesthood and being set apart to the office of a deacon, I could feel the spirit in the room. I could feel that your dad loves you so much. I could also feel Heavenly Father's love for you. I asked you if you could feel the spirit during your blessing. You said yes you could. You bore your testimony today in church and I loved it.

You have a strong fun personality. You like to feel happy and have fun. You like to be silly and goofy. You often make me laugh - even when I really shouldn't be laughing. I love that about you. You are tender-hearted and very caring of others. You are going to be in middle school this year and you are very anxious. I pray that you will find good friends who let you continue to be yourself. You make me smile. You teach me how to love. I'm very grateful you are a part of our family. I can't imagine it without you.

April 11 - Forty is Fabulous!!

Jeff might not agree with me though. Today is Jeffrey's big day. His fortieth birthday and truly he is having a hard time with this one. It's making him feel old.

So. . . he decided to celebrate it in a big way. He has wanted to go to Market Street Grill for some time now. It's always been a tradition of ours to go out to eat on your birthday. AND The birthday boy/girl gets to choose the place we go for their birthday dinner.  So. . . .Jeffrey chose Market Street Grill.


It was absolutely fabulous!!


The waitress we had was funny. As she was describing the specials for the day she described one as a "carnival of flavor" and said something like, so if you want to have a little "party on your plate" choose this one. That quickly became the joke for the night.

Berneen chose the Fisherman's Platter.  It looked fabulous!  She said that everything was Fabulous!!  She was saying something like, "Oh I am definitely having a little Party on my Plate over here.  LOL


Jeffrey got the PRIME New York Strip and One King Crab Leg. They were both FABulous!!


I got the Alaskan Halibut Grilled, Tartar Sauce. It was so tender, fresh, perfectly cooked and Fabulous!!

(I am so wishing I had someone take my picture right now- drrr)

Steve got the New Zealand Orange Roughy Sauteed, Grand Marnier Marmalade - it was FABulous!!


What a great day, a great dinner, great place with fabulous food, fabulous friends and turning Forty turned out to be Fabulous!


I think he was completely satisfied with the way his day turned out. . . how bout you?
