A Birthday to Remember

It is my birthday today. Amie came up for the day yesterday to spend with me.

We had a wonderful time!
Friday night we went to the state fair. Desi and Jace loved it. They wanted to see every thing and whenever Desi heard music she wanted to dance.

We bought some cotton candy and the kids did not know what to do with it. Desi licked it a bit and then broke it off into little pieces and then let it blow away.

I got called out of the audience to help a ventriliquist act. I tried not to make too much of a fool for myself.

Saturday we continued the celebration by going to Solitude. We rode up on the lift, and then hiked about 15 minutes to a small lake. We packed a picnic lunch and Don brought cupcakes and candles. We sat by the lake and had such a wonderful time. The weather was perfect and the scenery and company even better.

Mandi had her baby on Friday also. She was 6 lbs 8 oz and 18 inches long and they are naming her Keturah. Although I have not seen a picture of her yet, I imagine she is beautiful.

Sherry sent me chocolate covered strawberries. What lovely gifts. I feel so loved.

This will go down as one of the best birthdays ever!
