My Birthday! 29 again.....

On April 23, I celebrated my birthday. Even though, I tell my kids that I am 29 again. I am (gasp!) 49! I can hardly believe it!  I don't feel a day over 29!
For my birthday this year, I wanted to go for a bike ride. So Mike, Megan, and I took a bike ride on the Green Belt! Our first of the year!

During the bike ride, a small thunderstorm rolled thru the valley. So we rode thru the rain and the wind. But it wasn't too bad. We ended the ride at Joe's Crab Shack where we met Mom, Dad, and Julie! (I do look a little windblown!)

After dinner, we went back to our house for presents and birthday rhubarb pie!

My favorite present was from Megan. She took my IPod that I got for Christmas, that I haven't set up yet. She set it up for me, and is going to help me down load more songs!

Next year, is a big birthday for me. I have already decided that I am not turning 50 in Boise!  So, after much consideration, I have decided to go on a cruise! I figure it will be easier to turn 50 lounging in a deck chair with Coco the Cabana boy bringing me Diet Coke!  It will be so fun!



Spring Break

One nice thing about working for the school district is, I always get spring break off! This year, we took a girls trip to Disney Land!  Abby was competing in a dance competition at the Anaheim Convention Center, so Mom, Julie, Diane, Rachel, and myself went down there to support her. We also played alot in  Disney Land! Julie hadn't been to Disney Land in about 35 years, so it really was a first visit for her.
The first morning, we rode Splash Mountain 3 times straight. Of course, we got soaked!

Splash Mountain was Julie's favorite ride!  We rode it lots. We finally learned to at least keep our hoods on!

One night we did the World of Color/dinner combo. We ate dinner at Ariel's Grotto, and had an awesome meal! This was the appetizer!

And this was the dessert!  Everything on the plate was edible!  YUM........

The World of Color show is shown on a huge water screen. It also has fountains, and sometimes fire! Here is just some of the scenes.

After dark, the ferris wheel lights up!  It shines over the midway in California Adventures!

Julie, after her first day in the parks! 

On the last day, we got Mom to ride California Screaming!! She loved it!

Here is some various pictures. We had such a great time!  I love sister trips!

I can't wait until the next girl's trip!!!

All about Meg

So here it is, April, and I haven't blogged for awhile! Here is what we have been doing!

Meg celebrated her birthday Feb. 10th, she turned 15!
She got some clothes, movies, and a Kindle!!!! That is her favorite. (Check out the glasses!)





Megan is also learning how to sew for a Young Women's project. She is sewing a dress with Grandma Bakes.

Stay tuned for more to come! I have a lot of checking up to do!
