A Triple Birthday Weekend

This weekend we attended three different birthday parties for three different family members. And they each had their own night starting from Friday and ending on Sunday. It was a lot of fun.

----------------

The first party was Friday night and it was for Tyson's brother Dustin. He was celebrating his 27th birthday. His wife Erika planned a bowling party for him at Teton Lanes and it was a lot of fun. Many family and friends were there, including Amber and Che'. So we picked them up and took them with us to Rexburg. It was a lot of fun. And like Erika, I don't care to share my bowling score either! However, my first score was better than my second.

I think this sign says it all!

Erika set out a bowl full of candy, and if we got a spare or a strike we got a piece. I had one spare and one strike so I was pretty proud of myself!

Lillie liked looking at all the bowling balls.


I borrowed this picture from Erika. Thanks, Erika! :)
She told us to act natural and I ended up looking confused and rediculous. Probably one of my better shots, I think. Yeah right!

After bowling we had cake and opened presents. Erika got Dustin a really cute construction cake. And yes, they are lighting all 27 candles. Woo!

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Dustin

This was right before all the BYU-Idaho kids in the background joined in with the singing.

See all the BYU-Idaho students cheering? There were so many people singing for Dustin!

I loved Amber, Che', and Tyson's shoes! Mine looked too normal so they weren't in the picture.

After the party Amber, Che', Tyson and I decided to go to dinner. Yes, this is where we ate. And no, we didn't have to drive down to Bountiful to do it. The Cafe Rio in Idaho Falls opened a day early and we decided to go for dinner! It was delicious. Tyson and I shared this lovely pork burrito. So good! We love their pork!

On Saturday we continued the birthday partying with a family dinner at Ruby River for Tyson's brother Clark. He was celebrating his 24th birthday. We also let the server know it had been Dustin's birthday the day before so they both got to wear a couple of awesome hats. After dinner we went back to Tyson's parents house and visited for a while. Then we played some games. It was a lot of fun. We were planning on having cake and ice cream but we completely spaced it. Sorry again, Clark! :)

And on Sunday we celebrated my sister Amy's 20th birthday. Her birthday is actually on May 3rd but she will be out of town that weekend. So we decided to have a family barbecue and celebrate Amy's birthday on April 26th. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe my little sis is 20!

Opening presents

She got a super cute watch from our brother Adam, I love it!

The rest of us gave her money. Perfect for someone who just got their first apartment!

After lunch and presents we watched a slide show of Aaron & Britney's trip to Maui. I loved all the pictures of the beach, it looked so warm!

They brought us all back necklaces, bracelets, and chocolate.

When it came time to have cake, Amy didn't want to get up off the couch. So Mom brought the cake and lit the candles in the living room. Silly girl!

But the day was apparently too much for Amy and she fell asleep on the couch. I guess that what happens when you get older! ha ha

We had such a great weekend with so many family birthday parties! Happy birthday again to Dustin, Clark, and Amy! We sure do love you guys!
