April 6 mommy, April 6

Don't you love "birthday week"? This is a phrase Matt really lives by, so when my birthday comes around, I like to take advantage of it too.

My parents came up during Conference Weekend and that's when the partying began ;) We spent the ENTIRE day together grocery shopping, craft-shopping/looking (JoAnn, etc) and clothes shopping. It was so fun. I haven’t done this in a while and I usually go by myself. I really miss doing this with my mom and sister. This really made my weekend! It’s so fun to go with someone who I can ask their opinion or questions I have about cooking (my mom’s a pro). Thanks for coming up Mom and Dad and...

...for the Cake Decorating kit! Woohoo! I just need to practice now.

Then on my birthday Matt and I went out with his family to...

Marley's! It is SO good and fun to eat!

Matt and I were supposed to meet the rest of his family at Marley's when Matt called and told me to come outside (he was picking me up on his way back from school). So I did and they (Oldroyds, Millers, Lovejoys) all pulled up in this:

...A limo! I couldn't see inside since the windows were tinted so I was a little hesitant and wasn't sure if the car was for me! But the door opened and I saw Scott and Michelle. I was a little bashful. I don't like too much attention.

What a fun surprise. Thanks Bob!

The whole group (minus Todd).

After we had cake and ice cream at the Oldroyds (I was too slow and didn't get a picture w/ the candles).

Thanks everyone for making this a fun birthday!!!

ps. the title is an inside joke.
