Natalie celebrated another year! Justin stayed home which I think is really cool. This little family really celebrates the birthdays of everyone which of course if exactly what I think everyone should do. Life is worth celebrating!
I love Natalie! I am so glad she is the mother of two of my favorite little grands. She is a wonderful mother and a terrific wife. She gives so much attention to Justin and the kids. You can tell by her actions that they are the most important people in her life.
We went over to wish her a Happy Birthday late....like 9:30. She was just getting home from dinner with some friends. Justin planned it and worked things out since he had to be at school for a class. I could tell that meant a lot to her. She had a great time. Justin and the kids spoiled her with a camera and a rifle. (or big gun...I don't know my guns) Two things to "shoot" with...I prefer the camera but the rifle was cool. Natalie is finishing a hunter safety class and is planning on going hunting with Justin. I love that she would learn that so she can spend more time with Justin doing what he loves. Natalie is just great and I'm glad she had such a wonderful birthday!

The Real Housewives of Bonneville
Today my group of High School Friends came up with a new name for us. We are now called the "Real Housewives of Bonneville High". No real reason it just came out! I think it's because we are all very REAL! We discussed a few topics today and we are real! Life is good at this age. Every little thing doesn't matter. Life matters and people matter. I look at my friends and feel protective of them. I hurt when they hurt. I don't want others to hurt them. I don't want age to hurt them or medical conditions. I am so glad I am included in their fun!
I am not sure why but today I took a picture of everyone's meal. I think it's because Linda gave me her batteries from her camera for my camera (since my died) and I felt like I should use them. hahaha
Mimi's is a great place for dining. Every meal looked so good! Every "Real Housewife" did too!
We decided that we should get together each month to celebrate life. So on the months that there aren't birthdays I guess we will all celebrate our unbirthdays!
Birthdays are good for you! The more you have the longer you live! So Live, Love & LAUGH!
Saturday
Paying me back!
I love scaring Larry when he comes home from work. He actually looks forward to my little greetings. A few weeks ago I wasn't waiting and the door opened and closed about 5 times and I was in the kitchen wondering why he was going in and out so much. It didn't occur to me that I had missed greeting my hubby. He came to the kitchen and asked if I heard that door open and closing so much. I told him I had and he then said he was giving me a chance to go greet him. Oops....some times I forget!
Anyway last night when he came home I was waiting on the steps to jump at him. He was also prepared for me with silly string! He got me the other day in the garage but I guess he still had some left and covered me with it when I pounced on him! There is a reason this stuff is called "silly string". It's silly and makes us laugh! It also stinks when sprayed in your face. Larry thought his little joked back fired when I went back outside to clean myself up. The stuff is also messy and I didn't want to have to vacuum. I reassured him it was very silly indeed! He got me and that was awesome! He told me that he had been ready for five days. (hmmmm I didn't think I was neglecting my greetings but must have been)
I sure do enjoy playing around with Larry. There were many years that we didn't play around like we do now and I prefer now over then. Our relationship is so much better but it has taken a little bit of work and effort. All in all it's so worth it. When I look at Larry I can't help but smile and I know he actually enjoys looking at me too. Loving my life!
Friday
Girls just wanna have FUN
Jody and Linda had birthdays this month and so that was a good enough reason for all of us to get together for lunch. We have another lunch date set for next week for those that couldn't come. We all just enjoy being together and laughing and having fun. These girls are FUN!
We ended up going to LaFerovia since no one else has ever tried it! (hard to believe) I took party hats and horns. For the birthday girls I brought little boa's and crowns! It doesn't matter how old ya really are we are all princesses!
These ladies aren't afraid to have fun. In fact we all thrive on fun! I sure am thankful for being reconnected to these gals. So love them all!
We laugh so much when we get together. We love getting silly and taking funny photo's. We visited an antique store today and got plenty. It is always so much fun. I love the photo of us laughing because you can tell our laughs came from our gutts. Nothing like a wonderful belly laugh.
Today the ladies that came were: Davaleen, Me, Linda, Jody, Kathy and Jodi!
We're not old just Antique!She Said YES
Tonight Kevin proposed to Julie and she said YES! Kevin and Julie are getting married June 9, 2012 (6/9/12) Our family is really excited because we just love Julie and Kamryn.
Kevin and Julie were going to the movies and so Kevin made a "trailer" (preview) up about a love story. It was done really cute and at the end it said "what's next?" and it showed Kamryn shrugging with her arms up and she said: "I don't know ask my mom". Then Kevin stood up and said some things to Julie and then knelt down and asked her to marry him! Of course she said "YES".
The families were hiding in the walk way while the previews were playing. When Kamryn said ask her mom we all stood up to watch the proposal. It was cool and fun to be a part of.
I love having our family grow. I have loved everyone who has joined us. I feel really blessed to have such great people join our family!
