For Labor Day weekend we went to Tri-Cities for Trent's cousin Kira's wedding reception and for his parents 40th wedding anniversary. The reception was Friday night and then Saturday night Trent and I and his sisters Brooke and Rebecca all went out to dinner with his parents at Bonefish Grill. It was a very enjoyable evening and the food was delicious. Trent's Aunt LaRee was nice enough to babysit for Rebecca and Talia and Tucker went to my sister Betsy's house for Ella's birthday party. Later in the evening Brooke surprised her parents by inviting several family members and friends to come over for cake. She had bought a big carrot cake from Costco and it was delicious. The weekend was full of celebrations. After church on Sunday we had a birthday party for Trent and Macyn. Their birthdays are the 6th and 7th of September. There was cheesecake with strawberry topping and cupcakes for the kids. Rebecca even had a pin the tail on the donkey game and everyone participated. We left Sunday evening so that we could do yard work on Monday (we have been busy redoing our yard and when it is all done I will post pictures of our new house but not until then). Thanks for a fun weekend Grandma and Grandpa.
The next weekend Trent's mom came to use her anniversay present from Brooke, Jodi and Benny. They bought their parents tickets to the Phantom of the Opera which was showing in Portland. Both Lee and LaRae were supposed to come but Lee ending up going to Utah to see his brother Steven who is quite sick. This was the weekend that he had a ride to Utah with LaRee who was going down for her brother-in-law's funeral and so he went. I felt bad that Lee couldn't use the ticket but LaRae invited me to go with her and it was a wonderful experience. I have never been to a Broadway show or musical and it was awesome. Thank you to LaRae for inviting me and to Brooke, Jodi and Benny for the ticket. I absolutely loved it and had to go and buy some of the music on itunes that same weekend. Wicked is coming next spring and I am really hoping to go. We went to the show on Friday evening. Saturday was Trent's actual birthday and we spent the day watching Talia and Tucker's first soccer games of the season. Then Trent and I worked in the yard in the afternoon. LaRae took the kids to see that new Star Wars movie and Tucker was so excited about that. That evening we went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Trent's birthday and Brooke met us there. It was a long wait and the kids were getting impatient but the food was worth the wait. Happy Birthday to Trent! I am grateful to have such a wonderful, righteous and talented husband and father of my children. I love you!
