Happy Birthday to Grandma/mmmmoooommmm

Happy Birthday to you.

You are officially a half century old. Congratulations.

I hope you enjoyed your surprise party. a lot of effort went into it. (Don't thank every daughter! trust me!) As you can see i have some problems with some of the members of the party planning committee. Someone (who shall remain nameless) was to wrapped up in her wedding plans that is 3 and a half months away. She could have spent sometime thinking about her mother. I'm a little ticked about the problem. But she did find her wedding dress, on sale might i add. It was the last day of the sale. So snaps for nameless.

yeah we had a surprise party for mom. I think she was really surprised. She said she thought we only invited camille to a family dinner. Wrong. I invited everyone i could think of. Camille and tow were there, Carla was there, the Daleys, the lemens, Marlene, and a whole bunch of people from guard, Carrie and nate came, Kyle came, Luca came, Joyce was there, carmell and Janice came, and now i'm forgetting. Oh well, thank you everyone for being there. We had fun. I think there was over 40 people in the house at one time. Cool.

By the way, Justin Anderson is awesome. He was the one who came up with our plan to get mom out of the house. you see, he is from Layton and borrowed some costumes for her and needed to return them. So he made up a lie ( I don't know if it was a lie) but he said that he had an uncle in American Fork and that he was going to visit him. So we met him in American Fork and he Stalled her. I actually don't think that it's too hard for him to distract mom. I think the two of them can talk for hours about guard. I actually had to mention that we had dinner waiting and that we needed to leave. But it was an awesome decoy.

Anyway mom don't have a mid life crisis or anything you have done a lot in this life time. A whole lot more than i could ever boast. You are have a masters degree and you are a well respected advisor and teacher at UVU. You have three annoying children. One Married, One Engaged and One with a bachelors Degree and who will be soon going to grad school. And you have an amazing granddaughter who loves to be around you. And a million other things. But, I don't want to say everything or people are going to get jealous.

Anyway I'll say goodbye now.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

P.S. I promise I'll get some photo's up here ASAP

Update

Well, It certainly has been a long time.

I didn't realize that the last entry was nearly a month ago.

Sorry.

Well there are several things that you need to be updated on

1. Utah Valley State College is no longer around. GO Utah Valley University.

2. The fourth of July was Awesome. Patrick and I ended up deciding that going to the Stadium of Fire was not going to be the greatest idea because Audrey would not have appreciated sitting in the same spot for so long. You see the week before on the 30th was UVUphoria. It was a celebration for the College becoming a University. We ended up leaving the concert early because Audrey was being a brat (like normal) and could not sit still and she was frustrated and we were frustrated and plus the thing was really boring.
They had three country singers and each played a full hours set. It was not awesome. Plus the American idol guy Josh Gracin kept singing other peoples songs. Now i freely admit that i do not like country and if I know that you are playing someone else's music you most likely shouldn't be doing it. Because it's not cool. But who can blame him the guy is used to singing others songs. That's how he got his start.
Anyway i digress from my story. Where was I....Right, We decided not to go because of UVUphoria. Also Katherine and Michelle decided that they didn't want to deal with Audrey and they didn't want her to go. So after telling mom and going through a pretty tense day we sold our tickets. It actually didn't take very long to sell them. I think i sold them off of craigslist in about a half hour. I know.....Right?
On the 4th i still helped mom with the parade and actually walked it to because of the marching band. Which was great if you enjoy walking in 100 degree weather and not drinking enough water. (I got a dehydration headache after. Drank about 5 glasses of water took a pill and a nap later was feeling great.) After the nap we went to moms for our BBQ. After that we went to the Festival down at the Provo City Center. That was cool. Got an awesome parking spot because of Katherine's apartment. Hooray for Katherine and the vulture House. Again we ended up leaving that pretty soon too because Audrey was not a happy camper and wanted a nap.
So went home for another nap. Now normally Audrey doesn't really want to take so many naps but the poor think was out in the sun so much that day. She really hated us.
After that everyone went to the Stadium of Fire and Patrick and I went home. Now I was okay with the fact that i did not get to see the Stadium of Fire Fire works. (by they way they are awe...wait for it.....some!) I really love those things and really wanted to see them.
I know what you are thinking. You can see the same fireworks for free. No you don't! it is a totally different experience in the stadium and i love it. i get all patriotic because of the music and start to cry. Yes, I cry! Don't judge me. It is not like the free ones you get too see from the hill. TRUST ME!!!
That next day Katherine and Michelle go off about how awesome it was and the Miley was actually okay and that they had so much fun singing all the songs and that blue man group was amazing and the fireworks were the biggest that they had seen in a long time and on and on and on And then get this they said. "you should have come!"
WHAT!!!!!
I sold my ticket because you didn't want Audrey there. Don't say things like that!!! Whatever I don't care!..........actually I do. Katherine and Michelle you suck!

3. Audrey did not get kicked out of day care. Thank you everyone for your advise. We ended up bringing oral gel to the daycare and they give it to her everyday after her nap. And we bring Pinks (her teddy bear. thank you Kaylee) every day so that she has something to cuddle. She loves that bear. I think it's time to buy a new pinks and slowly phase this old one out. The poor thing is so dirty. She must drag the thing through the dirt while out in the play yard. I swear I'm washing it at least twice a week. No more about pinks. she didn't get kicked out and that is what matters.

4. TEXAS!!! We just got back from Texas on Monday and had the greatest time. Dad and Veniece thanks for spending the money to get us out there. We really appreciated it. I think I'll talk a little more about that later. My hands are getting tired of typing.

Loves
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

Horrible News

I just got a phone call from patrick saying that audrey has been put on a 2 week probation. If she doesn't stop bitting in that period of time they are going to kick her out of daycare.
I don't know what to do and welcome any and all advise.

Happy Birthday Grandpa
