Surprise!!

Brad totally surprised me with a surprise birthday party for my 40th birthday! I thought I was going to dinner with a girlfriend, but lo and behold, I was going to dinner with about 60 friends and family from various areas of my life. It was such a surprise and so much fun.

Birthday girl ~ with "over the hill" hat on. I think over the hill is at 50? Because I'm not quite feeling it yet!Surprised!

Thank you so much to my hubby. It was truly an awesome night.

Family, childhood friends, work friends, neighborhood friends & just friends...

from all different areas of my life. Now this took some work to get them all together!
With 3 of my childhood/highschool/adult friends. We have been friends for 35 yrs!

Brad had a band (a very, very good band), and we danced after the dinner. Good times.
We even did the Hokey Pokey!
Later that weekend, Brad made me another cake.

40 was a great birthday! Thanks for everyone that came and a huge Thanks to you babe for planning it. Love you.

Tumble Princess

The tumbling season is going well. Abby has added a variety of harder skills to her routines, so she continues to advance in her difficulty. She is preparing herself for the National meet in Virginia Beach at the end of June. But next up is the state meet in Heber in a few weeks. She should be very proud, she pushes herself pretty hard and she really is amazing!

Time Sure Does Fly!!

Okay, so can you believe this tiny, handsome little 7 wk old boy is already a handsome young adult?!? I just really don't know where those 18 1/2 years have gone. And it is really starting to scare me just a little bit.
We had our final Hockey Banquet. It was very bitter sweet for me. I am a little excited that I will not be so busy with hockey anymore since I have been the co-trustee for the team for the past 3 years. But I am also sick to my tummy that Tanton is really done playing high school hockey. Wow! I am becoming so much more sentimental about all of this "growing up", graduating, and moving on than I thought I would be. I am the mom who usually can't wait for the kids to be 5 and start into kindergarten. It is really making me realize how precious time is and how quickly it passes. Tanton has really grown into a very responsible, kind, loving, handsome young man.....

But, look at these two sets of parents that love him so much, and are so proud of him! He knows that we all love and support him in whatever he does. I sure wish I had had so many parents around to love and guide me!
He does all of the work to be such a great young man, but we are there with full support.

I am so PROUD to call Tanton my son!
