Happy Birthday, Mom and Carmen!

My dad put together a fun, surprise weekend for my mom's 50th. We also celebrated Carmen's 14th birthday.

They arrived in Rexburg, Thursday afternoon. It was hot, so we ventured out to the spray park.

The next morning, we drove to Salt Lake and did a little shopping at the City Creek Mall. It was amazing. I could spend days shopping there.

Friday evening, we all met up at The Roof Restaurant for dinner. The food was DELECTABLE. It was all you can eat and I'm pretty sure Nathan and I were the last ones eating. We could not get enough of that food!

Shae loved interacting with Macy.

My sweet parents.

Brad and Katelyn

Matt came along too, and I'm so glad he did!

Brexton Boy!

Annie, with her second cup of milk.

Nathan and I

Bart and Megan

The beautiful birthday girls!

Precious, right?

These kiddos are lucky ones. Their grandparents spoil them well :)

The room was surrounded by windows. The kids loved coming up to the glass and taking in the view.

The whole clan... it's always nice being together. Wish we could more often.

My parents were originally married in the Salt Lake Temple. It's a beauty...

The next day, Saturday, was spent at Lagoon.

It was HOT, but we had loads of fun! So much fun, that I only remembered to pull out my camera for the first hour of rides...

Annie was in heaven.

After an fun, exhausting day at Lagoon, we said goodbye to family and headed over to the Jack's house. It was so nice of them to take us in, dirty from head to toe, and letting us shower up, then crash at their place for the night. We went to church the next morning with them and didn't leave until later Sunday evening.

Tiffany and I were separated at birth. We have too much in common to say we are not sisters. We have fun together. It makes me sick every time we have to say goodbye to them. One day, we WILL be neighbors!

Veva and Annie hit it off. Like mothers, like daughters!

BIG THANKS to my dad for an awesome weekend! We enjoyed every minute. Wish it could have lasted longer... Happy Birthday, Mom and Carmen! We love you both!
