Girls Day Out

This weekend I went up to my parents house. Both of my parents have birthdays this month. My Dad's was this last week and my Mom's is this coming week. So, my sister and I decided to spoil our mother for her 60th birthday! 
We took her out to get her first Pedicure and she loved it. She didn't want to leave because she loved the massaging chair. I would of loved to sit there all day too! My mother is always helping others and trying to serve. She reminds me of my sweet Grandma and how they do nothing for themselves.  They are very Christ like women. I love my mom and I am so thankful for all that she does and what a great example she is to me. Katie and I wanted to do something for her.  We wanted  her to have some relaxing time and be pampered. My niece Maelyn and sister in-law Marsha also came with us. After we all got our toes done we took her out to lunch. She wanted to go to the Olive Garden since it is one of her favorite restaurants. It was nice to go without the kids and just enjoy some Girl time. 
That afternoon we took my sisters kids out so that Mom would have quiet time to herself. Then that night we actually got my Dad out of the house and went to go get Sundaes. I have been craving them since July so I was excited to finally get my Sundae! I was only there for 24 hours and ran into a lot of people that I knew. It was quiet funny, everywhere I went there was someone I knew. I enjoyed getting away for a day and spending time with my mom and sister. It was fun and hope that we can do it again. 
Happy Birthday Mom and Dad. I love you!

Go Cougars


Every fall Matt flies to Utah for a BYU game. He meets his brother Rick and Dad there for the weekend.  It is an annual thing they do each year. Matt looks forward to it all year long. He loves family and wishes we were closer.  The weekend was even more special because his Grandma Katherine was in town. She is a neat lady!  Matt was so happy to get to visit with her too. Aunt Nora lives there also, so he got to see more then just his brother and Dad. 
BYU beat Hawaii 47-0. So it was a good game for them to go to. He loves the games and misses going to them. He use to have season passes when we lived in Provo. Matt enjoyed being with his family and had a good time. 
I have to tell you a funny story about Tyler. 
Matt is a BIG BYU fan and really gets into the games. We know not to get in his way when he is watching them. He yells and screams at the T.V. and gets pretty mad sometimes. The boys think it is scary. So, when I was telling Tyler that Daddy was going to the BYU game he got all quiet.  I asked him if that was okay? He then told me "Well, Daddy needs to get there really early to sit up front. So that guy can hear him yelling at him to get off the field. I want to make sure he can hear Daddy." I just had to laugh. That was too funny that Tyler would put the two things together. So I turned on the game that night and noticed that Riley Nelson the quarterback wasn't playing that night. So I told Tyler. He got really excited. Tyler said " Good now Daddy can enjoy the game and not be yelling so much."  
Too cute! Gotta love it when he comes from the mouths of babes!
