Brad's bday and other wonderful misc photos

Brad's birthday-45 this year.  We had a quiet celebration with Krispy Kreme donuts, Orvis overload of presents and dinner out.  Brad just had chemo this week so he was not feeling so hot.  He was a trooper. 

Sam messing around and posing as a boy.  Why?  Well, it's Samantha and she is a kook.

Another testament of how kooky Sam can be.  Brad took this while the 3 of them were at Genghis Grill.   

Missionary day... Joe getting fitted for his suit at Dillards.  Oh boy!!

 Good shoes are a necessity on a mission. Today we bought 2 pair. 

A priceless moment...

Just some fun photos...

 I like Joe in the background 

 Not sure what Emily is doing here but it just made me laugh.

Sam goofing with the cousins

Brad and I took a quick overnight trip to Granby...ate out

 and relaxed under the clouds...

  and put our feet up in the condo...

 I ususally don't post photos of my daycare but this is Aidan and we love him.

 Aubrey, Aidan and Mary, my 3 daycare babes that I have had since they were 3 months old.  They were so happy when I pulled out the aprons today!

Mamma Mia, Here I go again, My, My, how can I resist you!!! Sam turns 13!!

Samantha turns 13...so I did my best to recognize this special brithday.  First, we filled her room with balloons so when she came home from school she would be surprised. 

 

Before we left for dinner the missionaries showed up to sing her "Happy Birthday".  Elder Morgan, Elder Manu and Elder Thomas. 

Dinner at Mongolian BBQ.  Not a crowd pleaser.   Sorry Sam! 

 Ice cream cake at home...

 And now, the best part...Me and my girls went to see Samantha's favorite Broadway show, Mamma Mia!!!  And on this night, a winter storm was blowing in and we got soaked walking from parking garage to Sams NO 3 for dinner.

 Lots of "selfies" tonight because we looked like wet rats!!

 The forbidden photos that I took in the theatre!!!

   Great seats and great show....
