HaPpY BiRtHdAy MaTTTT-EEEEEEEE!
Today is Matt's 33rd Birthday.
Crazy, I know!
Where does the time go?
I have known Matt since I was eight.
I have so many fond memories of him.
One that stands out was when we 
were in primary together.
During singing time he was always
 turned around in his chair with
a huge smile on his face,
goofing off;  I would be thinking to
myself, that Taysom kid is so out of control. 
Funny, he is nothing like that now. :) 
Guess I took all the fun out of him? 
lol 
That's a joke...I hope! 
I know that we have had many
FUN years together and
hope we will continue to have many more!
Happy Birthday Babe! 
Hope you enjoyed your 7 days off from work,
your special dinner I slaved over for you,
the delicious jell-o cake I made,
and your awesome new hoodie I got you
but.... you paid for :),
the fabulous date night we had
at the Cheesecake Factory,
our waiter that looked like Snoop Dog,
the amazing cheesecake we ate later
that night in bed watching movies,
and everything else I forgot to mention here!
Love YOU!!!

I love the expression on Crew's face!

Classic Skating...

 Our family had a blast at Classic Skating in Sandy. 
It was Pony Express Elm. Family Skate Night. 
I have not been to a skating rink since Fun Plex days!
Wow, Fun Plex!!
Now that takes me way back! 
Some of you out there know what I am talking about.
You know who you are! ;)
Now I didn't actually get on skates tonight, 
I was busy helping Crew have the skate night of his life!
Hee Hee!
Landen was the only kid who wanted to rent skates. 
He had them on his feet for about five minutes tops.
Then took off on his scooter.
Later I asked him why he didn't like the skates.
He told me they were just so slow and junky! 
lol 
Well... I can't blame him. 
They really were junky. 
But Crew wanted to try them out 
and these skates were perfect for him. 
Matt also rented skates. 
He did great.
Considering how long it's been. 
I didn't want to find out how I would do. :) 
Once we got there Cody was off on his scooter.
Didn't see much of him the rest of the night. 
He hung out with his classmates. 
Crew, WoW, he was glued to that skating rink.
If I tried to take him off he would scream his head off.
Literally!
It was so fun though to be right there next to him 
watching how excited he would get.
He rode his scooter mostly but did do a few rounds on skates. 
Then there was Landen!
My ADD kid. 
He lasted about 10 min. out there.
Then was done!
Matt bought him some glow-in-the dark cotton candy 
and that kept him happy for a little while. 
Then he was back to complaining that he wanted to go. 
Later when they did the blackout skate
with glow sticks, fog, strobe lights, and techno music; 
he got back out on the rink for a bit. 
Overall it was a great night. 
Never would have picked this activity on our own 
but found out we really enjoyed it. :)
