PAGEANT, Birthday PARTY, and a PADRE Celebration!

We had a busy weekend! On Friday night, we headed to Manti to see the Mormon Miracle Pageant. Lo had a friend, that works at Zion's Bank (in Manti), save us some seats and he really came through for us. His wife is in charge of the sound for the pageant, so we had fancy, gated-off seating. We were lucky enough to be there the same night Elder L. Tom Perry was and he was seated right next to us. Very cool! Saturday was my Birthday, so we had a little party. We got home late from the pageant the night before, so we were pretty tired for our Saturday celebration. We decided to go up to Park City and have some pizza, treats and a Trolley ride. Drew took this picture of us on the Trolley. I look like I am 12 months pregnant in this shot. I took this picture of Drew, who is, perhaps, the biggest Trolley/train ride supporter out there. Sunday, we finished our weekend with a fun Father's Day. We had a great day that included Lo and Janyce, who came over to celebrate Dad's day with us.

A few of the reasons why Lo/a.k.a DAD is the GREATEST!:

• He plays race car games
• He plays golf with me
• Gives us rides on the motorcycle
• The most optimistic person I know
• Watches fun shows with me
• Knows how to make you feel important
• Always ready for a party
• He snuggles me
• Daddy loves me very much
• Mr. Personality

We Love You DAD!

Love, Your Biggest Fans!

Liz, Drew and Sommey Sue.

JUNE 12 was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LO!

We had a fun Birthday party for Lo last Friday. We celebrated with Lo's parents, and Mardi & Terri and their kids. We had dinner at Cafe Rio, ate some cake, and opened presents.Here are a few of the V.I.P's that celebrated the big day with us:Drew and Sommey made these very fancy, personalized birthday cards for Dad to add some extra style to his party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

AIR SHOW

Saturday, we went to the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base. The pilots put on quite the show. We spent the day with Lo's parents, and Mardi and her kids.

I think Sommer's favorite part of the show was the animal crackers and pretzels.

Drew and Lo ended up touring the planes that were parked on the tarmac for a hands-on-tour: both were equally impressed with what they were able to check out and see.

I loved the Biplanes, because they did the coolest tricks.

Lo and I had to leave a early to go to a dinner, so we missed the Thunderbirds. We left our kiddies with Lo's parents, so Drew and Sommey were able to see the Thunderbirds end the show with an impressive finale. The Air show made for a great weekend activity!

I can't take credit for the above pic of the Thunderbirds......found this via the internet.

TWO LASTS & TWO FIRSTS

LAST #1
We had our last soccer game with the "KILLER BEES." Drew had a fun season with some great kicks and a few goals. Lo was a great coach for the Bees and managed to stay very patient when Drew decided to play in "chill mode" instead of "mixing it up."

LAST #2:
Drew went to his last day Learning Dynamics Preschool on May 22. His last day was Circus Day. They made animal masks, ate animal crackers, watched movies, played games and the teachers all dressed up like clowns. His teacher, Mrs. Buxton,was the perfect teacher to help Drew get ready for Kindergarten.

FIRST #1: (may prove to be a last and a first all in one)
I planted tomato plants. I planted one "Sweet 100", two "Celebrity" and one "Yellow Pear"tomato plant. I am crossing my fingers that these will produce an amazing crop of delicious tomatoes and give me confidence to plant again next year. In truth, this is the last time I may see them alive, so I decided to take pictures of them before they decided to pass on, if that be their fate. FIRST #2

Lo and I had our first garage sale. Our HOA planned a community garage sale for Memorial Day weekend. They did all the advertising and we just had to be ready with anything we wanted to sell outside in our driveway that Saturday morning. Our big seller was baby clothes. We managed to make a whopping $76. It was nice to make a little cash for something I would have hauled over to D.I. We managed to pay for dinner and a movie with our "massive" earnings.

Happy Mother's Day!

Drew had a Mother's Day program at his preschool on Friday. Lo, Sommey and I got to see him sing. He also gave me a great painting, card, and plant to bring home. The songs "I Wish I had a Little Red Box", and "That's My Mother." were a hit with all of the Mom's that were there. It was a cute day and he did a great job.

Sunday, for the "official" Mother's Day Celebration, Lo and the kids made breakfast for me and then we had a fun BBQ with Grandpa, Mimi and Mardi and her kids. It was a fun Mother's Day weekend! Thanks to Lo and the kiddies for making it a fun day! I hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day!

WICKED WEEKEND

Lo's parents gave us WICKED tickets for Christmas and it was "showtime" over the weekend. We went with Lo's parents and Mardi and Terry to the show on Friday night. First, we had a yummy dinner at P.F. Chang's and then went to the 8:00 show. It gave such clever spin on the famous Wizard of Oz story.......great characters and great music. It made for a very fun night! Thanks for the picture Mardi....I stole it from your blog due to my "lack of taking pictures problem!"

My parents were also here over the weekend to see WICKED. All of us married kids and Mikey=) gave them tickets for Christmas, and their show was Saturday night. They absolutely loved it as well. So sorry, but I have to say it.................................we all loved our WICKEDly fun-filled weekend!

ULTRASOUND TODAY.......I WAS 99.9% we were having a BOY and.........

I was very surprised!........

and we are all very excited having another little lady!
