Birthday and other fun

A few weeks ago my mom, dad, and little sister Rylee came here to stay with us for a week! I loved it! It was so fun having them here and letting them see a little how we live. When it wasn't raining, my mom and Ry helped me put in a little flower garden next to our house. We needed something there rather than the big pile of wood that was there before. It turned out so cute! They also helped me clean out one of our sheds that was just piled full of stuff and not organized at all. Thinking about it now I really wish I would have taken before and after pictures to show you how bad they both were but I guess you will just have to trust me when I say it was bad. When it was time for them to leave, I was definitely sad. A lot of people are around loud so much that they vie to have some peace and quiet. For me, it's so quiet here so much of the time I love when loudness comes around. I really didn't want them to leave! But thankfully they made a safe trip back to Coalville and I will be seeing them again soon.

seriously...my mom's the best!

We also made a little step stone path that leads to one of our sheds.

This last Saturday, Sidney had a circus come to town. It was definitely no Ringling Brothers but it was still entertaining. I went with my sister-in-law and her two kids, it was a lot of fun.

Then..... Yesterday was Josh's birthday! He and one of my best friends share the same birthday....Happy Birthday Katie! So poor Josh didn't get home from work until 6:00 yesterday morning, he worked all night. I have had his gifts wrapped and sitting in the back bedroom for the longest time and HE being so excited to open them......ok by he I may mean me......I ran to the back and grabbed them shortly after he came inside.

I think he was a little excited too haha....

When my family was up here a few weeks ago, they got him something and wrapped it as well so here is the one my family got him.....

A razor! He has been wanting one of these! Ya did good fam!

Then it was my gift.....

This picture makes me laugh because he really thought he was getting a big remote control helicopter and this is the moment he found out that wasn't the case!

But he said the golf clubs were just as good. He was unwrapping and trying them out for a while before he decided he probably should take a little nap before his brother and his family came over for dinner.

I love him! Happy Birthday Sweetie!!

So I took a little nap with him, then spent a good majority of my time making this bad boy......

Ok.....top and bottom "bun"- 9in. round confetti cake (Josh's favorite kind of cake) frosted with homemade chocolate butter cream frosting, "ttomatoes"- ssugar cookies with red colored frosting, "cheese"- just frosting dyed orangish, "hamburger pattie"- brownie, "lettuce"- little gummy candies.

I had so much fun making this, and you should have seen my kitchen during the process......total madhouse!

It was pretty good tasting as well......just scrape a lot of frosting off and your good. lol!

I think Charlie wanted a bite!

I didn't get a picture of dinner, but I told Josh I would make him whatever he wanted and he decided on homemade Chinese! Sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. You guys need to try this it is easy and delicious....try the recipe here

All in all I think the day went great! Now just to wait for a nice day that Josh has off and we can try out those golf clubs!

I also have to mention......you know my last post about the dream.....well shortly after my dreams, Josh had a dream that he will never forget and now that he has shared it with me, it will be one I won't forget either. I think Heavenly Father and Kaizen wanted to make sure he didn't get left out. I don't want to share his dream though, but we have been talking about him doing a little post on my blog soon so maybe he will share it then. :)

I hope you all have a fantastic week!!
