70th Birthday Bash....and Papa's Birthday!

A few weekends ago we had a 70th birthday bash! It is tradition in my grandma's family to have a 7oth birthday party when her siblings turn that age! Well this year it was her turn and my Aunt Marilyns (My grandmas sister-in-law) so we had a big family party at her house on Sunday! We had a ton of food, Chelsea and I made a cake but we didn't like how it turned out so we didn't take any pictures but everyone said it was good, so I guess that is all that matters! It was so good to see alot of my family that we don't get to see a whole lot! All of my Grandma's siblings were there except for two! So Happy Birthday Flower! She is such a strong woman (she has to be to put up with my grandpa! ha ha) and I look up to her and the things she has accomplished in her life and how she takes care of my grandpa everyday! She is my Hero! I Love ya!



My Grandma and Marilyn! And the Second Picture is me and My cousin Rosemary! I love that girl!



My Dad, My Uncle Cato, and My Uncle Kim, and Molly the dog. lol


My Cousin Zach, and Jakob

Dad, Cato, Kim, Zach, Jacquie, and Dustin! Doug and Becky, Diane and Leon, Flower, Papa, my Dad, Cato, my Mom, and dexter!
Hazel Is so Cute, She loved my grandpa, she could have sat there all day and he was so good to let her sit there and he would make faces at her it was the cutest thing!
Also, Today is my Grandpa's Birthday! We Called and Sang to him since we can't be down there for another week or so! This Man is a Fighter, he has fought to do and have the things he wants his whole life! After his Stroke he lost all movement in his one arm and has to walk with a one handed walker and he has very little speech! But that doesn't stop him from trying to do whatever he wants! He sneaks away from my Grandma all the time! lol But the thing I admire the most about him...He never complains about having to hold my grandma's purse! Ha ha for as long as I can remember he has always held it for her! Now that is a real man! LOL Happy Birthday Papa. Love Ya!

Vegas, Jakob's B-day, Easter!!!

A few weeks ago we had the chance to go to Vegas for a few days for Mopars at the strip! We headed out Thursday and stayed in Mesquite and then we headed to vegas for the rest of the weekend! Mopars at the Strip is a huge car show, drag races, swap meet, and concert! It is an all Dodge show for those of you that don't know cars! lol My mom and Chelsea and I help out at registering the cars for the show on Friday and Saturday and then we get to go watch the races! My Uncle Clayton Races the "K" Car and he did pretty well in his class this year! Also, we were able to meet Chip Foose from Overhaulin and one of the guys from Muscle Car! Chip was actually pretty friendly and took the time to talk and get pictures! Zac's family also made the trip this year and his Grandpa and his wife Dina flew in from Kentucky and so we all went to Jimmy Buffets magaritaville and had dinner friday night! Saturday we helped out at the show, went to the races for awhile and then My mom and Chelsea and I went shopping at the Outlet malls! We then went to dinner at a really good BBQ place with everyone and then my grandma and grandpa and Larry and delina went to bed and the rest of us went to the Cannery for a Oldies concert! The band was made up of former members from Journey, Steppen Wolf, Lynard Skynard, Toto and I think a few more! Chelsea and I got the party started.....we got there late so we went up to the front and started dancing as close to the stage as we could get and the guy from Steppen Wolf came and Played his guitar to us and then all the sudden everyone swarmed the stage! After that the Guy from Lynard Skynard also came and played to us! It was so much fun! Then some crazy lady came and crowded me and my mom and Chelsea and Aunt Kas out so me and Chelsea decided to get closer and they had a barrier between the stage and the seats and Chelsea and I climbed in there and were there for about twenty minutes before they kicked us out! They guy from Steppen wolf also gave me and my mom and Chelsea Guitar Picks! It was sooo much fun! We didn't go to the races sunday it was too cold and windy so we decided to just head home! It was 80 degrees Friday and Saturday it was sooo nice and then we had to come back to snow! I can't wait till next year!

We also had a great Easter Weekend! We got home around ten friday night and then Me and Chelsea went and worked for my mom saturday! Then we went to price and had lunch and got some groceries! Then Jakob and Chelsea and I went to Flower and Papa's and visited for an hour or so and then I went to dinner and Fast and Furious with Zac and his Parents and then we stayed in Castledale that night and had breakfast with Kay and Robert this morning and then we had easter dinner at my Parents house today! No pictures though! I love going home but I hate the drive there and back I can't wait to move home and not have to make that drive! I hope everyone had a great Easter!
