Happy Birthday Tara!

Yesterday was our good friend Tara's Birthday. Shawna (another friend of ours), all the kids, and I were able to take her out to lunch to one of her favorite places, Don Antonio's. We picked up a dragonfly balloon, some flowers, and a cake for her before. I snuck them in and had the waitress bring them out after we were done eating. The waitress was so nice and patient, especially with as many kids as we had. Surprisingly though, they were all pretty well-behaved, until the end when their "15 minute window" ran out. Hee, hee, that is what Dustin calls it. It is the little window of time that you have when your kids are actually good, when that window is up, it is time to go. We did have a lot of fun, and we hope that Tara did too. Happy Birthday Tara!

This is the canvas collage that I made Tara for her Birthday.

Toxic Audio

On Saturday my good friend Tara invited me to go to the show Toxic Audio with her. Toxic Audio is a group that does everything completely acapella. They are absolutely incredible. They sing, and do all the background music, and sound effects only with their voices. It was awesome, I was so happy to go. It was a really nice break for me. I appreciate Dustin watching the kids while we went. I was able to purchase a CD and have them all sign it. All of the members of the group were so fun and friendly. Going to that show makes me want to go to more! I loved it! Hopefully I will get to take advantage of a few more while I still live here.

Swimming Fun!

Last week we went swimming at the Yellowstone pool with our friends Tara Reynolds, Aimee Cooper, and Kollen Marchant, and all their kids. It is always so nice to be able to cool down at the pool. Thank heavens Tara lives in the Yellowstone community and let's us use her pool key! Thanks Tara!
