Plus a BIG THANK YOU to the hostess with the "most-ess"!!!

OOPS! Forgot the motorcycle and four wheeler rides, bonfire, photographs, goodbye to Bryan's dream house and more....Maybe it'll be reason to blog more on this great time. Thanks to all of you kids who made the efforts to travel so far...Utah, California, Hawaii and Sweden...oh and Washington of course! You made my year!!!!

What a Wonderful Day!

Some of those that made my day special!

And thanks to all of you who took the time to call, send cards and e-mail to me and to send those awesome messages on facebook wishing me a happy birthday. It truly has been one and I have enjoyed all of you and my Utah family today. It means a lot to me...my deepest thanks!!!

This has been a great time in Utah enjoying Scott's family and the great news is that ALL of my children and grandchildren will be able to come to WA next week for a reunion. This is the first time all of us will be together and I am so very appreciative that EVERYONE is making such an effort to come so far...from Sweden, California, Utah, Washington and Hawaii. It is difficult with all of us spread out so far and it is so amazing to have it actually happening. A BIG thank you to all of you wonderful kids and families to be doing this!!!

It has been fun here to see Lisa Larsson from Sweden several times and to meet her family...they are awesome! Last night we went to dinner and to the temple together...such a wonderful friend! And Jacob, I am really impressed with sweet Leslie- a very special young lady! I had a great visit with a wonderful and long time friend from WA, Ellie Wall, this visit also and was able to go up to visit with my dear friend Nancy Richardson in Ogden on Monday. I feel my life is so blessed to be filled with all of my treasured family and friends!!! Thanks to you all!

Tomorrow I leave to drive from SLC to WA. Long drive but it will be great to be back at Nate's for a few days and see that awesome family...Thanks again all of you for making my day special!
