HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

{I forgot my camera in Kaysville, so I have no photos except for the one I took with my phone}


June 4 was Mom's birthday. Her 50th. She doesn't look like she's 50, that's for sure. Anyway, Dad decided the best gift was to send her to Utah to visit her family. So, he enlisted the help of the Three Sisters and we were able to get Friday off for her. She flew out Thursday night... she thought they were going up to Federal Way to eat at this new restaurant, but little did she know she was going to the airport to fly to Utah! She was so stunned. It was a great surprise. Oh, I forgot to mention, Dad and Brother sent her down to Utah with the essentials: toiletries, makeup, jammies, underwears, a jacket, and some exercise shoes, plus an extra pair of glasses (which came in handy since she misplaced her other pair). Gotta love how boys pack. Dad gave her some money and told her to buy some clothes when she got there. How awesome is that?! I love my family. 

We've had a lot of fun this weekend. We have played, shopped, and eaten lots of food. On Saturday, her actual birthday, she got her hair cut, went shopping some more, and relaxed. We had a family get together with the people in Logan at Fredrico's. The Three Sisters made 72 cupcakes, okay it was just me who did the actual baking, but the other sisters did help. We made some for the cupcake jars, and then some to eat. Good thing I love to bake. Below are the jars and other cupcakes with a vase of flowers that smelled fantastic.

After we ate, we made Mom leave the room as a distraction so we could set up a projector and a screen to watch a movie that we put together for her. It's below, if you hadn't noticed. I love my Momma and am grateful for everything she does for me and everyone else. She is amazing and I want to be like her when I grow up. And I hope her 50th birthday was as wonderful as it could be. Enjoy the movie!!!
