Five and Fabulous

 Joy had a fun time celebrating her birthday again with us.  We tried out Jenna's cake pop maker and had them as our birthday cake.  For some reason we got several "artistic" shots of our five year old!

Another Birthday

For  my actual birthday I brought bagels into work, had a special lunch supplied by my husband, and went out to dinner.  That weekend I was lucky to have some friends over to help me celebrate.

I've been wondering lately what I am and should be doing with my life.  It's weird being on a temporary detail at work, and not knowing what's coming next.  It's weird having kids around only every other weekend.  And again, wondering if most of the time it will just be me and James.  It was good to remind myself that I have done some amazing things in my life.  I had my friends pick a slip of paper describing something about me and matching it to a picture on the wall around the house.   See if you can find me at the Berlin wall, honeymooning in Prince Edward Island, performing at the Washington DC Temple Visitors Center, attending a baptism in the Mediterranean Sea, or on top of the World Trade Center in New York City.

Uncle Adam

My brother Adam was in town for a conference, and we were able to have him meet his nieces and nephews.  We went out to dinner, and were able to celebrate Joy's birthday a little early.  We had fun playing the clothespin game, and Hedbanz.
