70th Birthday Bash!

We enjoyed celebrating both Dad and Mom's 70th Birthday on Thursday. Their birthday's are only 9 days apart. So now Mom can't tease Dad that he is 70 and she is only 69! We started the day with swimming at Laurie's. We love being only 2 hours away from family. We woke up jumped in the car and were swimming just after 10. After swimming we enjoyed Pei Wei lunch and then the adults headed to the temple to do sealings. I was thinking about what I would want when I turn 70, and decided having your children in the temple with you would be one of the greatest gifts. I have never done sealings with my parents or siblings, so this was very fun.   David was a trooper and came to the temple after having hand surgery the day before.  Way to go David.

After the temple we had a fun family birthday celebration. The cousins had all been busy decorating birthday posters and the house with streamers.   But the kids were all super excited about the fabulous cake.

Laurie and the girls had made the most spectacular birthday cake. It was gorgeous! They use fondant and it look so professional and tasted awesome. Happy Birthday Dad and Mom. We Love You!

We enjoyed playing with Laurie's kids on Friday morning.  And then we headed to Arizona Mills for school shoes and some school shopping.  I can't believe we only have 3 weeks of summer vacation left.  Where has our summer break gone?

Wow, I love the b-day cake! Do we really only have 3 weeks of summer left or does AZ start earlier? I'm panicked!
