Happy Birthday!

Saturday I celebrated my birthday with my family. Our original plan was to go sledding at Soldier Hollow in Midway and eat lunch at the Dairy Keene in Heber, but we changed our plan because some of our family had colds. At Scotty's suggestion we decided to go to FastKarts, an indoor racetrack. The guys raced first while the girls watched and took care of the Brandon and Chandler. Then the girls raced while the guys watched.

After racing, Ron treated us all to a trip to our traditonal 7-11 for drinks and treats. About 7-11 being a tradition, I guess I should explain. On Saturday mornings while our children were little, Ron would take the kids to his office to help him scrap aluminum from old automatic doors (his business sells and installs commercial automatic doors - grocery store, hospital, etc.) After they got their money from the aluminum he would take the kids to the 7-11 by his office for a hot dog, drink and treat. The new clerk at the 7-11 was amused & amazed by our entire family coming in this past Saturday. He even graciously took a family photo for us.

We came home and cooked a yummy dinner and played the wii. I love being together with my family! I had a very happy birthday and appreciate the many people who made my day special!
