We spent a quick weekend up in Salt Lake this last weekend. It was full of fun for all. Ryan and I were able to attend his 10 year medical school reunion. It was so fun to see some of our old friends. You know a friendship is good when you don't see someone for 10 years and you can pick right up where you left off when you finally get together.
We also got to go Saturday night to the Utah football game. It was fun to be on campus again and to see how it has changed since I graduated. The game was a blast and we were lucky enough to sit with our friends Brad and Susan. The conversation may have been funner than the game. I think Ryan's favorite part was watching the marching band. I think it brought back memories for him. While we where at the football game, My mom and Jim took the kids to the circus. They had a great time with grandma and grandpa. I will post some pictures of than when my mom sends them to me. Thanks, grandpa for sacrificing your time to go along and help grandma.
On the way home on Sunday we made a pit stop at the exotic car store in Salt Lake so Drew could see the cars. For those of you who don't know, Drew has been obsessed with cares the last little while. He was amazed at all the Lamborghini's they had for sale. As for me I think my next car will be a lotus :)
Thanks again mom and Jim for taking the kids two nights. I can't remember the last time Ryan and I went out without the kids two nights in a row.
FYI-For those of you who are interested...Even though the kids didn't play soccer this last weekend, all there teams won again. Drew- 4-1, Olivia- 10-0, Simon-25-0. There was a dispute on the exact score of Simon's game. One of the dad's told me they scored around 20ish but coach Jake said it was 30ish, so I averaged the two to get the real score!

When Ryan arrived home we released the tarantula into the field across the street. At the very back of the lot. Hopefully it won't find it's way back to our house. He is one house guest who is not welcome.
Thanks, Mom, for coming down early to help me shop and cook. There is no way I could have done it without you this weekend!
On a happy note-School starts tomorrow, Hurray!
Finally after waiting all day for dad to get home she was able to open presents. Grandma Sally made her this sock monkey that she had been asking for for some time. Way to go Grammy! The cute shirt is thanks to Pa-Pou and Pa-Pat. She looked really cute in it with her new white capri leggings.
Her cupcakes were made special by me this year. Linda gave me a cupcake cookbook for my birthday and Olivia fell in love with these ones. I don't know if I should thank Linda for the cookbook or be mad that it has made more work for me. But the cake and frosting were both handmade this year!
I love this picture of Olivia with her candles. Ryan was in charge of picking up candles this year and bought the relighting ones. Olivia got a kick out of that.
Happy 8th Birthday Olivia. Mom loves you!
