Happy 24!

Let me just start off by saying, What an AWESOME weekend!

Friday!

Scott started us off by throwing a birthday celebration for Michael the night before. We went to Brick Oven with a bunch of crazies. ;)

I think the Waitress was a little relieved when we walked out of the restaurant. Ha ha

Then we went to see the new Star Trek movie. Which was awesome. 

Michael and I had the entire night paid for! Thank you Scott. :)

Saturday!

The following day was Michael's actual birthday. He turned 24. Woo Hoo!

Isn't he such a cutie! 

I planned a party for him with his family. It was especially fun, because his sister Bonnie, and her family were in town for the weekend.

 We ate lunch, and played for hours! We played:

• Pop the Balloon
• Army Navy
• Water Balloon Volley Ball
• Everybody's It Tag
• Star Wars
• Volley Ball
• Kick Ball

With the help of my mom and sister Grace, I even made a fishing booth!

Did it actually let me upload videos!? As Michael would say, "Un milagro!"

Here's Michael fishing out one of his birthday gifts, a couple of tickets to the Living Planet Aquarium!

The Living Planet Aquarium was Amazing! There were so many cool things to see! And... I got to pet a ray!

Look! It's Dory

The otters may have been my favorite. even thought they were just sleeping.

So FUN! I want to go back...

Sunday!

Sunday, was our new baby nephew, Noah's baby blessing. Isn't he adorable?

Monday!

Monday was Memorial Day. It felt so good to have an extra day to play. We started the day by throwing a karate party for the nephews. Charlene was nice and let us use the studio. Instead of birthday chopping a birthday cake, they chopped a breakfast cake with a samurai sword. In addition, Camille brought several different kinds of muffins.  Yummy! Look at all the fun we had! 

and, I'm stealing these from Kimberly, because I think they're awesome! Especially the one of Jonny.

Poor Dad hurt his ankle. At least he was able to break a board.

After all the karate fun, we headed up to the canyon. It wouldn't be Memorial day if we didn't hold some cucumber boat races, now would it?

My boat was ahead, but Michael's passed at the last second... This was probably our tenth run. The sails were no longer intact. You're luck if the sail lasts the first run! Ha ha. 

Well, like I said, it was such a great weekend! Thank you for everyone who contributed, and to the Brooks family for the good times! We love you all!
