My Birthday

My birthday this year (the big 30) just happened to coincide with Payson Onion Days. Dale's school had a booth so we visited him and Noah rode the carnival rides. Oddly enough, I did not see one single onion related item at 'Onion Days'. I suspect some of the carnies were sporting a delightful onion-like fragrance but I doubt it was just for Onion Days. For my birthday most of my siblings got together in Orem, my mom made Hawaiian haystacks and everyone pitched in and got me a ticket for LADY GAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! As Noah would say, "Lady GaGa is my mom's favorite band".

First Day of First Grade

Today was Noah's first day of First Grade. I can't believe he is a first grader already. He was a bit nervous this morning but he told me that when he got in class he wasn't nervous anymore. I am a proud mama!

Alien Boy & His Captain

Today I had a visit from Alien Boy & his Captain wearing their self-styled helmets!

Kents Lake

Yesterday Sheila, Noah, Little Hayley, and I went up to Kents Lake which is located in Beaver Canyon. We had a lot of fun rowing the little boat around and there was a bunch of fish jumping out of the water catching bugs.

Sweet Skillzz

Now, don't be jealous, but I have some pretty sweet photoshop skills or skillzz. Here is some work I did to turn Noah into Darth Maul from Star Wars, I know you are shocked that is not the work of a professional graphic artist.

BEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter Weekend 2010

Well, none of these pictures are very "Easter-y" but I discovered my battery was dead when I went to take pictures of the egg hunt. The pictures are of the street ball game that was taking place and the crazy cranium game we played later that evening.

Buc-ee's

On our drive up to Dallas from Houston, we made a pit-stop at Buc-ee's to enjoy their 'fabulous restrooms'. To call Buc-ee's a truck stop is does not even begin to describe it. It is sort of a self-contained village of sorts, they seemed to have anything and everything, including beaver nuggets! Don't get excited, they were just puffed corn with caramel flavoring. Their restrooms were actually large and clean so that was good too!
