happy birthday to me

well, one year older and wiser too right?! well, atleast older. i didn't really want to do much this year...mainly because my birthday was on a sunday this year, but also because i have been so busy, that all i wanted to do was relax!! so Jake aranged for us to meet up with some friends at the beach for dinner and to watch the sun set. it was perfect and just what i wanted! thanks everyone for making my day so great! Ty and Cass had so much fun playing in the sand together!awwwww....walking into the sunset! i love my family

Utah

over the weekend we traveled up to Utah for my Grandpa Clark's funeral (..there will be an additional post about that later) We had a fun time given the circumstances. We got to see the whole family, and Jake's family even drove down to spend some time with us. it was really great to see everyone and be together. here are a couple fun pictures!

for starters we had to find some WINTER clothes since we are sunny cali kids. luckily Blaine had a buddy he could borrow a coat from and since Blaine was born in snow, we had a few things in storage that Ty could wear my favorite!! sweet snow suit...

both boys did so great on the drive up! it was about 22 hours of driving in a 3 day period! here is a rare photo...MY WHOLE FAMILY !!! just my immediate family with us kids, dad AND MOM!!! this almost never happens!Blaine and Jakey of course

we went to the mall and rode the carousel, Ty's first timeit was so great...Jake's parents drove down to Salt Lake to see the boys. they even stayed in the same hotel, so we got to play lots while we were there!grandpa Idaho can never resist tickling Blaine and making him laugh!one of the coolest things about staying in a hotel is...jumping on the bed!

and of course on our last day there...here is what we woke up too...Blaine had been waiting for it to snow for ONE reason...so he could have a SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Ty has never been in "real" cold before! bundle up baby! brrrr
