Brigham's 4

May 19, 2009

Happy Birthday Brigham. I know it's way past May but it has been very busy lately. Anyways, We had Brighams birthday at a park by our house. He requested a Superman cake so this is what he got. I can't believe how fast time has gone, it seems like just yesterday we had him and now he is 4. Brigham we sure do love you and your fun and loving personality. Happy Birthday!!

Brigham and his buddy Blake, they have so much fun together.

Teancum had some lovely blue teeth, but so did everyone else that had cake. It was so yummy we didn't have any leftovers this time.

Grandma and Grandpa Ethington weren't able to come to Brighams party in the park so they brought him a gift a few days early. It was a car that also doubled as an M&M dispenser.


Here is Brighams portrait that Grandma Terry did, it really captures his personality.

Ammon's Birthday

Tim's Birthday

Tim's birthday was on January 18th and I am finally getting around to posting what we did. So we decided to make a whole weekend out of it. It started out with dropping the kids off at Grandma and Grandpa Ethingtons, the kids were excited to be there but sad that they didn't get to stay at the hotel with us... maybe another time kids. We actually took the kids to the hotel with us when we checked in so they could see where we were staying and then off to Grandmas. After we dropped them off we went to eat at the oh so delicious Ruby River Steakhouse. We both had the Gorgonzola New York Steak. Let me just say yummy, yummy, yummy and so on and so forth. Wow, I think that was the best steak I had ever had. We also had French Onion soup, filled with chunks of steak. Now that I am writing about it it makes me want to go again, maybe after we get our taxes back. Anyways, it was a great beginning to our fun weekend. After dinner we had some time before our movie started so we thought we would walk off some of the calories we had so willingly consumed so we headed to the mall. It sure is a lot different without kids. The movie we ended up seeing was Defiance. It was based on a true story and it was pretty good. The next day we planned to go the the Auto show, and Tim fell in love.

The first car we saw as we walked through the door was this beautiful Chevy Camero, its still not out but Tim is dreaming of owning one someday.

Needless to say we had a blast this weekend. Then to top it off on his actual birthday we had Tim's famous spaghetti and I made him a toasted coconut cake. Yummy,yummy. Hope you had a fun birthday honey I love you.

Emily's how old???

Well I have gone and done it I finally hit it, the big (and old) 30. I know it's not old but when you are a kid and you think about someone being 30 you think man that is so old. Well aside from the old part we had a really fun day. Tim took the kids and I over to get some lunch at KFC's then we hit the pool at

We have been going swimming every Tuesday for the last couple of weeks so why break tradition just for a birthday. We all had a great time and everyone took a turn on the water slide even Emma. She wasn't sure what to think of it at first but by the third time down she seemed to really like it. After we were done with swimming we went back to the house to get ready and we all past out from pure exhaustion. After about 1 hour of sleep everyone started waking up and getting ready to have some more birthday fun. Tim and I took the kids over to Aunt Jenny's so we could have a nice romantic dinner date. We went to

it was so good and neither one of us had been there before. We were sauce virgins, so the gave us the tour, wow what great sauce they had. We will defiantly go back for more.

We decided to share our meals so we could try a little of everything, Tim had a plate with brisket, chopped pork and spare ribs along with two sides and strawberry shortcake for desert which we of coarse shared and I had the hot links platter. It was amazing a we were so full so fast that we had plenty of leftovers that would last a few days.
Thanks honey for a great Birthday.

When we picked the kids Jenny had a yummy German Chocolate cake waiting for me. I was so good. Thank you Matt and Jenny for watching the kids and for making me a cake. It was a great birthday.
