The Big 25!

I have to say, I had a wonderful Birthday! First of all, I love birthdays, especially mine. I think they are a good reason to celebrate for a day...in my case a week, this year. On Wednesday I was able to stay home with Ganon. I was laying in bed and Patrick had put the baby down by me because he woke up. Well, I put him back to sleep and what seemed like a 1/2 hour later I felt this massive tug on my head. And I woke up to see my wonderful little boy looking at me with a big slobbery smile and a hand full of hair...my hair. I just had to laugh. We went shopping and then visited my friend Keily. Ganon has been practicing sitting on his own. Isn't he doing so well? Now he can sit for about 2 minutes by himself. :) I love how his mouth hangs open in deep concentration. Later that night my family and some friends went to Red Robin...YUMMMMM! Here is Grandpa lovin' the Little Man.
This video is called the Lemon Taste Test. It was Ganon's first time tasting a Lemon. People call this torture, but I call it entertainment. Besides, it looks like he likes it... Oh, my sister was recording this and apparently she doesn't how to zoom out!! :)
On Thursday, my work threw me a birthday lunch. It was yummy. They are so thoughtful!
Then Friday, we started packing to move. As most of you know, we are moving in to Patrick's parent's house to save mullah for the next little while. We are blessed they have the accommodation's for us to do so. Thank you David and Ruth! And thanks Mom and Dad for your support! We love you! But, that night me, Ruth, Jessica and their cousins all did Glitter Toes. It was so fun!! In the upper left hand corner and going clockwise: Jessica, Purple; Jenny, Garnet; Audrey, Turquoise; Candace, Hot Pink; me, Aqua; and Ruth, Garnet.
On Saturday Patrick's cousin, Rachel, received her endowment so she and her husband, Adam, could get Sealed this coming Tuesday. It was so amazing! I am so happy for them and can't wait for them to receive that special blessing of an eternal family! After that we, along with Ruth, David and Jessica and Kevin's family went to Tempenyaki (?) for my Birthday dinner with that side of the family. It was so good!! And my parents watched Ganon while we were gone. They said he was so good and that they had a lot of fun!!
It was a great Birthday spent with tons of family and friends through out the week. Here is Ganon trying to open one of my presents.
