Two Birds With One Stone

Monday, January 12, 2009

So, Saturday was a busy day! But really fun! My Grandpa H. turned 88 on Saturday, and out of the clear blue he decided he wanted the whole family together at Golden Corral in Orem for a birthday lunch. (Keep in mind this man is the father of nine children who have done their best to multiply and replenish. We're talking lots of posterity, here!) So we all went down to celebrate, and quite a few people were able to come--eight of the nine children and a fair passel of grand kids and great-grand kids. Happy birthday, Grandpa! It was good spending time with family whom we don't see very often.

Then, to "kill two birds with one stone" (Note: The bird in the picture above is still alive and thriving. No animals were actually hurt during the weekend) we took the opportunity to visit Stan, Kristie and family. Bethany had a really great time. Her four older cousins completely doted on her and she thrived on the attention! Thanks, Stan, Kristie, Amanda, Nicole, Alisa and Elora! We had a great time and the burritos were mucho-fantastico. (Totally "punk rock!") And thanks, Oasis (the aforementioned bird) for letting Bethany pet you! Oh, and congrats to Amanda, Nicole and Alisa for getting your Young Woman in Excellence award--we're very impressed!
