58!

 I turned 58 years old this past Sunday. Katie had us over for dinner. She and Jessica surprised me with the kids in these terrific shirts!

What a great gift! Katie, Jessica, and Gabe provided a great meal of enchiladas, homemade salsa, and Spanish rice - yummy! Katie baked a cake with purple frosting (purple is my favorite color); and the cake itself was rainbow colored - it was so pretty!

On Saturday we went down to Mesa to see Zach and Skye. After playing for a while at their apartment, we headed out to lunch at Portillo's. We'd never been there before. The food was good and the atmosphere was such fun. As we ate lunch, Skye directed us to all hold hands and then she proceeded to lead us in a round of the Happy Birthday song in my honor. Awww, that's the kind of thing that just melts my heart.

Here's a few more photos from my special day(s):

Gramps, Skye, Grammy

Thunder thought Gramps needed a trim before dinner

He also thought it was time to take Gramps' temperature

Love the purple frosting!

I managed to blow out the candles - quite a feat at my age, haha

See those vibrant colors - beautiful!

I love the way Sunny and Thunder are both holding on to Storm

Yesterday was the first day of school in Jessica's district and she had to go in to teach her AP class so Storm came over to spend a few hours with Thunder and me. Here's some bonus pictures of the boys watching Frozen.

Watching Frozen

Almost ready to laugh!
