Family Birthday Party!

Today we had a birthday party in Brigham City for no one in particular, just everyone. My Grandma Clark put together the event since she figures we don't celebrate anyone's birthdays like we should. So as many of us that could got together for a fun little outing. We went to eat at Maddox, which is a really good restaurant. We ate at the guest house, which is a pretty fancy little place. I had no idea I should have dressed up! The funny thing is, we walked in and there was my dad and his wife too! They were there for Sharon's dad's birthday...but they were seated at the table right next to us and I had no idea they would even be there. Random that I run into my dad in Brigham City, UT at Maddox, where I have only been like two other times in my whole life. Funny.

Here are my cousin Che'Lyn and her husband Landon, who I had the privledge of riding up with since my husband was working. Che' and I are close in age and have always had an extremely close relationship. We have run the gamut of experiences together and I do have to say that we have had some pretty funny times in our day. Anyway, now that we are all grown up, its fun that we still get to see each other pretty frequently as she and Landon live here in Provo too.

Here is a shoutout to my favorite aunt Linda. Linda is expecting her third child in July! It will be a boy, so we are excited about that. Linda lives in Logan, so it wasn't too bad of a drive for her. Linda was kind enough (crazy enough?) to let Che' and I plus our sisters Cortney and Jennifer come stay with her for a week every summer during our young teenage years. She probably had no idea what kinds of things she would get into by letting us stay. She went to work during the day, so we were on our own! One year alone, amongst other things, we managed to start her house on fire (ok not the entire house...just a garbage can that we were smart enough to throw outside), break a screen door, eat an entire massive brick of cheese during the week, go out in public as often as possible with HUGELY ratted hair, offend her boss's young son by telling him his Garth Brooks shirt was hideous and that he needed to take it off, and throw glasses and have them shatter in the street at her then boyfriend (now husband, Brad) as he was driving away (ok, those last two were just me). Anyway, you can see why we love Linda and you can surely see why she loves us! Oh man, if only I had a scanner and could scan in the ratted hair day pictures...oh yeah, plus we would wear plaid shorts and go-go boots quite often. Oh well, use your imagination. While we ate, a mysterious person (my aunt Sue) attached these pictures to Linda's van. We think it is particularly funny because they are extremely popular these days, but it is NOT something Linda would EVER do. She was so embarrassed! She was trying to peel them off, but they would not come off. Haha...she might be stuck withthe lovely pics! Anyway, it was a good day and it was really fun to see everyone. I don't get to see everyone often enough, but when we do, we sure have a good time. Love the fam!
