No, it's not a forest fire...it's Matt's 42nd B-day Birthday Candles a burning. Happy B-day Hon!
We had a fun B-day Party Dinner with games to celebrate #42 with Matt.
We had Grandma and Grandpa and Maddy and Joe (Bre and Jarom's friends join in the family celebration).
Fun and Games.
We had to document that Jarom actually won a raffle prize (it's tradition that his number never gets called when we play family games or bingo.)
Matt catching up with his parents after dinner.
Matt showing his mom how to test out his new massage chair.
Ice Cream Cake.
Lighting all the candles. I'm pretty sure Matt had a good b-day as he is very much enjoying his big birthday present now parked in our garage that we finally got cleared out for an actual car to park in (after 9 years.)
Grandma Noble and Saydee.
Grandma and Grandpa Noble stopped in for an evening after they came up for my cousin Brittany's baby blessing awhile back. The kids were SO EXCITED all day long in anticipation of when they would arrive. They said it's just like Christmas when Grandpa Noble comes.
They visited the week before Mother's Day so we were able to do a little tribute to Grandma when she was here in person which is so much nicer than sending something in the mail for her special day.
Shoes, shoes, I love them shoes!
Saydee has proven to follow in her big sister Brooklynne's footsteps literally...in her shoes which she is constantly in. They both love their shoes and heels!
And the tap shoes.
The sunset was really pretty on Angel Moroni one evening after a temple visit.
Matt and I took Brooklynne with us to a 50th Wedding anniversary for Lora and Bruce Whitmarsh who are a couple in our ward. It was a pretty impressive evening.
My Visiting Teaching Partner Cari Burdette did the decorations which were super amazing, with their whole family tree of their six children and their children and then some.
Lora's wedding dress from 50 years ago, very fun!
Memories for the couple.
The Boys at Matt's fav place the Outback with Cheese Fries and a Bloomin Onion. The Diet starts next week.
Jarom and Maddy went to Seattle last weekend with Bre and Joe. Looks like they hit some of the popular Seattle Landmarks with the Gum Wall, Ferris Wheel, Pike Place and The Troll for some pics.
Joe had state for track and I guess Bonney Lake HS did really well barely missing a place to go further in competitions.
Looks like happy times for the kids.
Spencer in action.
A few pics of Spencer's last Flag football game that Sumner won!
A fun season,
Talent Show Pics from the YW talent show.
Years Through a YW's Life.
Fun times.
I downloaded my pics from my camera awhile back and these were one's Matt took on our camera so just catching up again.
Jarom and Maddy
Bre and Joe (with kleenex up his nose due to a bloody nose) trying to put a bow in Bre's hair.
Needless to say it was a SLEEPLESSLY long, painful, itchy week.
SO SAD! By day three things were starting to scab over and we were able to soak her in oatmeal baths which she didn't like at first but got used to and then she was happy.
She is back to her happy camper self now, just has a lot of scars that are more apparent when she is cold when they turn purple that will fade over time I'm sure :)
and she's even talented with the mascara brush...look mom!
and the scooter.
Ellie picked up this water fish filled mattress for Saydee that her, Spencer and Saydee along with the neighbor kids all had fun on.
We are FAMILY!
This was no fun...every time after Saydee went into the nursery at church she would get sick, a yucky cold or come down with a fever and this was the results of our third attempt at the nursery. So not fun...HORRIBLE in fact. Calamine lotion was a lifesaver that we kept her slathered in constantly reapplying.
