it was a good one

We had a lot of fun this weekend celebrating Paul's birthday. He got to spread it out and do lots of things. He says this is his first birthday that he actually feels like he's getting older. At least we celebrated in style for this old man.
-Friday we did an overhaul on the garage. Got a whole new organization system and cabinets. We cleaned out everything and organized and it put it all together. I felt like a little handy-girl out there helping in the garage (which is definitely NOT a natural habitat for me) But the end result looks great:

A nice place for Paul to keep all his tools and yard stuff and build things or whatever he plans on doing out there. He loves it.  
-Saturday we went for a run in the morning and then went to Subway for lunch to visit Mike and then went to the Provo Beach Resort to meet up with friends to celebrate. We played shuffleboard, skeeball (i had a personal best for skeeball that day) and played some arcade games. Then all the girls went on the ropes course. I'm not gonna life, i was a little scared up there. Especially the higher level, things got a little wobbly but it was fun. After that we went to Malawi's pizza for dinner (and dessert pizza of course).
-Sunday we had to got to speak in church. Both our talks actually went well so that was ok then after church we took some much needed naps and then headed over to Chelsea's for dinner! It was fun to get together with the siblings and have a little b-day dinner for Paul and Tyler (his b-day is the 28th). Little Miss Caitlin had a hue blowout in the car on the way there that i discovered once we got there and of course i didn't have extra clothes in my diaper bag so we had to put her in the tub and she spent the night in just her diaper. Although i think she was actually quite happy about it. We had delicious chocolate pudding/molten lava cake for dessert.
-Monday was the actual birthday. Paul took the day off work and got to hang out with us in the morning. We let him sleep in and then had french toast for breakfast. After that we played with Caitlin and and finished up a few things for the garage. Then we got ready and Mike and Jenna were so nice to come over ad babysit for the afternoon/evening. Paul and I got to go up to Park City where we did a little damage at the outlets (we got some awesome deals) and then we went to dinner at Ruth's Chris. It was my first time to go to a Ruth's Chris and can i just say: WOW. Everything we had was amazing. Definitely some of the best food i've ever had... not an overstatement. We had calamari, salad, sweet potato casserole and asparagus and of course the meat. The meat! We both had filet mignon and shrimp and it was indescribable. Paul was in another world as soon as his meat came out. He might as well have been alone with the meat as his date. Every bite he was like moaning and groaning and commenting and saying it tasted like candy. They were so nice too.. they even gave him a birthday card and we got cheesecake for dessert. It was a really fun date. We then returned home and got to hang out with Mike and Jenna and Paul opened all his presents: lots of stuff for biking and new binoculars and some Cabela's gift cards.

 

 Yup.. it was a good one.
