Gramma's Visit and Jeff's Birthday

Gramma came to help out while I recovered from some medical procedures.

Watching out the window for Daddy.

Building his new Lego set during General Conference.

Playing a crazy balloon hockey game.


I made apple sauce a couple of times with our apples we picked ourselves. Axel thought that eye protection was important.

On Daddy's birthday, we surprised him at work with cookies and presents!

On the night of Jeff's birthday, we had Parent's Night at preschool. This was an activity they did where they put a transparency over a mirror and drew themselves. Axel's cracks me up! He looks like a goblin!

Jeff requested apple crisp (with the apples we picked, of course) for his birthday! Yum!

Then Jeff and I snuck away for dinner at Bareburger.

Gramma and Axel listened to LOTS of Seussical the Musical, and now he can sing the songs.


Before we had to drive Gramma to the airport, we let Axel get his wiggles out at the park. Here Gramma is looking through a spyglass at Axel.


Happy Birthday to Jeff! I hope it was a good one, even though it was a busy day!

And thanks Gramma for coming to help out! We love you!

Shannon's Birthday Weekend

We celebrated my birthday kinda extended over the weekend. 

First we went apple picking!







We stopped at a couple of stores for random things (and went clothes shopping for me!) and found this awkward gem at a Goodwill.

Axel made me this awesome card! I love how he did the lettering!

Pretty accurate painting of me, right? Haha.

Jeff made this card. He is the best!

We had my birthday dinner on Sunday (the day before) and Jeff made delicious pastrami sandwiches (the picture doesn't do it justice, they were SOOOO GOOD)

And a delicious cake!

On my actual birthday, Monday, we ate lunch at Jeff's work.

Me and my boys.



My friends threw me an awesome birthday brunch also, but I forgot to take any pictures! 

Turning 30 was pretty great!
