Party time

I have pretty much decided I am the worst at getting pictures of my little family all together. I need to make an effort at being better about it. I mean just out doing fun things, or at let's say a birthday party! 

Anywho, we had a pretty good weekend spending time together. Friday, my family came down and hung out for the day. We got my moms favorite lunch, the Italian place. It's in Orem Provo ish. She LOVES it! She always talks about needing to get a steak sandwich every time she comes to visit. she's so funny. She went to BYU so in her college days she would always go there with friends. I think it's delicious and it's a little sentimental for her. 

         She and my sister took Kayden off our hands for a couple hours, and took him to play at Provo beach resort at the river woods. He loved it. They have a little toddler area with slides and things to climb on, games, and a carousel. He still isn't so fond of a carousel.. One day he might love it! Until then, he screamed bloody murder the entire time. Silly guy. 

He was so happy he could fit 2 binkies in his mouth! Oh boy....

He also loves building Lego towers taller than he is, with a little help of course! 

        On Sunday evening we headed to my cousin Jenny's house to have a birthday party for my aunt Dixie. I brought a pasta salad. YUMMM I love this pasta salad so much! 

My cousins all made delicious things, involving hamburgers, salad, potato salad, and of course, birthday cake and ice cream. 

 My parents and sister couldn't come because they all had become ill the night before. They were bummed they missed out! 

My cousin Christine makes beautiful cakes, so she custom made this gigantic cake for her mom! It had multiple layers of delicious chocolate and vanilla cake. So yummy and beautiful!

During dinner we had the Seahawks game on. I of course was rooting from them since my sister lives in down town Seattle, and I lived there for a while in high school! I was pumped when they won! 

My sister was at the game, on the 50 yard line. Here's a photo I stole from her Facebook from her seat right after they won! Go Hawks! We are excited for the Super Bowl! 

Kayden had a blast playing with my cousins kids running wild in their house! They are so much fun. You know you have a fun house when there is a giant trampoline in your kids bedroom. Not kidding.  

Meanwhile I had a photo shoot with my cousins husband Ifo's 2004 GIGANTIC Super Bowl ring, he was on the eagles! This ring is serious. 

After dinner David was our DJ so we could have an impromptu dance party. All the kids were loving dancing around! Everyone had a great time! 

It was such a fun night! Happy birthday again Aunt Dixie!
