Continuation Of My Birthday Week

We then headed back to Ogden and went to Artic Circle for an ice cream cone. I think we tired Deklan out. Dallin loved to wear grandma's sunglasses upside down.

We went to Josh's house to wait until it was time to go to the Olive Garden. The kids were taking me there for my birthday dinner. It was fun and the food was great as usual. The waiters sang to me for my birthday. It just hit me that they didn't give me a free dessert. Maybe they don't do that anymore.

When we went out from the restaurant, Heston had a dead battery on his motorcycle. They had to go buy a tool to get into the battery so they could jump start it.

It was a Great Birthday!!

I have a great family. When Autumn called that morning she also said that they might come out on Saturday and maybe we could get together for lunch. I spent the night at Josh and Traci's house.

It felt good to sleep in. I am exhausted from all the traveling I have done this summer and being gone so much. That day Traci didn't have to work and she took me to her work place at Master Cuts in the Layton Hills Mall and put highlights in my hair and gave me a haircut. I love it and it looks great. I should have been suspicious why they wanted me all done up, but I was too tired to even think about it or suspect anything. We did lunch at Chick-fil-A. I hung out at Josh & Traci's house until I had to go to the airport to pick up Monty. We stayed at Kallee's house that night and didn't get there until about 11 p.m.

Jay and Moises both had soccer games on Saturday morning that we went to. Jay's team won their game and I think Moises' team tied their game.

Kallee then convinced us that we needed to take Jay and Moises to the Dinosaur Park. She had a free pass. I had already been to the fair so we didn't need to go there again. She said everyone wanted to come up to the Liberty house for Lunch and barbeque and that Autumn had called and was coming. We could meet there after we took the boys to the Dinosaur Park and they would just meet us up there. She said I needed to spend the time with her boys.

The Dinosaur Park was great. I had never been there. We enjoyed it. Jay had been there before and he told us what we needed to see and do. The boys loved me to take their pictures. I didn't have a camera, but I took their pictures on my cell phone.

We will have to do it again when we have more time. We needed to be up to the house around 1:00. Then Kallee called Monty and said we didn't need to hurry. She said we could stay for another 15 minutes. I still didn't suspect anything.

When we got to the Liberty house there were a lot of cars at our house. I said I wondered why there were so many cars. Monty didn't say anything. I just assumed that each of the kids and their spouses drove separate cars and maybe had to leave to go to work or something. I thought maybe they invited some of their friends which they do a lot when we have barbeques. When I walked up the stairs to the backyard a bunch of my friends and family were there waiting and they yelled "Surprise, Happy Birthday!!" The gave me a pink hat, a black broom septor, and a badge.

IT WAS GREAT!! I was totally surprised.

I don't know how they pulled it all off without me knowing about it, but my kids did it. Thanks to all of them for their love and support and a special thanks to Kallee and Autumn for orchestrating all of it. I Love You All!!

If I could have a party and visit with my friends and family, it might be worth having a birthday every month. JUST KIDDING!! I don't want a birthday every month. We get older fast enough.

This Party was to make up for missing my 50th Birthday so they didn't miss my 55th Birthday. When Monty turned 50, I did a thing at his school for his birthday with the teachers and then a party with our family. He hated it and said "You just wait until you turn 50" I said I can't wait, bring it on. Then when I turned 50 he didn't do a party. I was disappointed. I guess the kids decided to remedy that fact. Thanks for thinking of me. I Loved It!

I am so blessed to have such a great family and great friends. I love to party and I loved being able to visit with friends that I haven't seen and visited with for a while. Thanks Monty for going the extra mile to get up here for the party and keeping me busy so it would be a surprise.

NOW I see why they kept me up north all week since they had this party planned and needed to have me here. I probably wouldn't have come back up with the flights so full. I was exhausted and was ready to get back home to St. George, but it was really a Great Week.

I know this was long blog, but I just wanted you all to know what a Great Week it was and how much I love all of my family and friends. Thanks for making me feel special!!

It Was My Best Birthday Week!!!!
