Happy Birthday Daddy!

This week has been so much fun! Shane's birthday was on Wednesday. He came home last weekend so we decided to celebrate it then. His family all came over and we had cake and ice cream. It was a lot of fun visiting with everybody. This was the first year since we have been marrried that I haven't been able to do something special for him on his birthday because he was in Wyoming. Shane's sister Vicki and his mom and brother all said they wanted to do something special for him. Vicki came up with a candy bar bouquet idea. When she checked with florists for delivery, it was really expensive. I called Rachael and Rob to see if they could help out. They went to the store and got every candy bar that Shane likes, along with tons of other goodies and put a basket together for him. They also got hostess cupcakes for his class. (I always have made his class cupcakes on his birthday. In Wyoming, they can't bring home baked goods. It has to be store bought, so hostess it is!) My brother Rob went to drop it off at his school and the secretary was so excited, she grabbed a bunch of other people including the principal and Rob. They ran down the sixth grade hall and rounded up all of the other sixth grade classes, students, teachers, and all. They flooded his room singing Happy Birthday. I was so excited to hear that he was utterly embarassed in front of tons of people! I love it!!! Love you Shane! Thank you to Vicki, and Rob and Rachael for helping me to do something special for Shane from a distance on his special day. I tried to upload the picture from my e-mail of the basket, but it didn't work and the kids need me now so I'm not messing with it!!!
This weekend, we some friends come over on Friday night to get some Scentsy bars. They asked about Shane coming home. I told them he couldn't because of his new calling and that I couldn't go there because it is too much money in the truck, and it is a single cab squishing the four of us in it isn't ideal travel for the kids. They said that they would be back in an hour with their old Honda Accord and to pack and get over there with him!! I was so grateful for the offer and jumped on it! Thank you Brandon and Bonnie Moon! We packed up and headed over and had a wonderful weekend visiting our daddy. We also helped on Rob and Rachael's house too. Rachael and I got a second coat on all of the doors on one side. And a third on others. It takes longer than you think it will, but it got done. We hung out in the camper and the kids had a ton of fun in front of Rob and Rachael's digging in the rocks (left the camera in the camper). We went to Sacrament meeting with Shane and then headed for home. It is always a sad time to say goodbye to the one we all love. I think it's hard on Shane too. This was our fun week ending great thanks to the Moons. Here's a few pictures of the week.

Say Cheese!
