Happy Birthday Baby

~Happy Birthday Jared~
I am so glad you are part of my life. Thanks for being a great dad and husband. I love you.

My friend Brittany made the cake. She did a fantastic job. The elk and hunter are perfect and she even made the fondant camouflage. I am so impressed with her talent. She has a few pictures on her blog. Use the "Brittany's cake World" button to check them out or to see other awesome cakes she has made.

This cake could not have been a better fit for Jared.

We had some fabulous talks on Celestial Marriage on High Counsel Sunday. One of the speakers compared us to instruments and as couples our ultimate goal is to learn to jam together. He said that when we each learn our part we can make wonderful things happen. He talked about this song from Youtube, check it out. I think it's pretty great.

Okay, so I am playing catchup on my blog. Sorry there is so much stuff all at once but it had to be done.

Me and the kids went to visit my parents. We had so much fun visiting with all of our family and friends but especially the cousins. On our last day there we went to the Old Penitentiary. I love that place. There is such a cool sense of eerie history. My kids say that it was their favorite part of the trip too. We didn't get to see all of it so we will definitely be back.

I met with my oncologist Dr Montgomery who said I am officially cured. It has been 10 and half years since I was diagnosed with cancer and I no longer have to go for checkups or office visits. Hurray! What a wonderful word "cured" is.

We went to Cascade for the 4th and had a great time. The Stokes', Allen's and the Clayson's came up with us. We had a great time at the lake fishing and swimming, we went to the parade and watched the fireworks over the lake. We feel so blessed to live in this country and thank all of those who have fought for our freedom.
