Happy Birthday Honey!

Mat's Birthday was yesterday!  He is now the ripe ol' age of 32!  Man, we are starting to get old around here!

We had a laid back night, full of pizza, swimming, and homemade cake roll.  Yes, you heard me right!  I made a homemade cake roll!  It is Mat's favorite and usually I buy him a Farr's Cake Roll.  However, those are very hard to come by down here!  So, I figured I could make one!

 Here is the cake roll.  I know, it doesn't look super!  However, it tasted delicious!  It was really hard to not have it completely fall apart when rolling it up!  Mat said it tasted really good and he was surprised that it really did taste like Farr's!  I was pretty proud of myself!

 Kat insisted on adding candles and singing 'Happy Birthday'!

Mat thought it would be funny to put the candles out with his fingers!  The girls were mortified!

 Then he proceeded to blow the other candles out with his nose!  Yup, I married a winner!

 And here is one more look at the yummy inside of the cake!

 Happy Birthday hon!

I love you so much and am so grateful to have you in my life!  You are a great daddy and hubby!

I hope this next year is a better year and that you have a great time being 32!

XOXOXOXOXOXO

How much does my honey love me?

He loves me a lot, I guess! At least he knows how to keep me happy!

Today was his last official day of 'freedom' - meaning that Monday he starts his new job. So we set out to run a few errands.

Since we have been down here, I have wanted to find the one and only Bajio down here. Today, we did just that! Well, it was a little, ok a lot, farther than we thought! Basically like driving from Roy to South Salt Lake for Lunch! (We should have just drove south of the border!! hehehe!) But is was delicious! I stuffed my face on yummy Ensalada Bajio Salad!!! Yum! It was worth it!

We also saw a group of missionaries there for lunch! The manager hooks them up!

Anyway, for my fellow Bajio lovers, I have partaken of the yummy food. I look forward to coming up to Utah in a couple weeks to partake even more!

The Best Hubby Ever

So, a few weeks ago I had the worst week ever.

It all started when I had to go into the dentist and get a crown. That crown came loose and got infected (I guess that's what happened!) Well, unfortunately, my dentist was out of town for the whole week and so I couldn't have anything done about it.

While I was in agony over my throbbing tooth, I burned my arm on the top heating element in the oven.

Then, one day during the week it was raining and I was running into the house so I wouldn't get wet with Emma. I slipped and fell on the stairs, bruising my knee cap and Emma hit her head on the cement. Luckily Emma was alright and I only had a limp for a few days...

Then I went to the doctor to get a flu shot, which made me sick, really sick!

By the end of the week my dentist had made an appointment for a root canal. Yup, a root canal. But by this point, I was EXCITED to get a root canal 'cause I knew it wouldn't be as bad as the pain from the infection!

Needless to say, I was miserable in so many ways! Mat felt bad, I could tell cause he helped out around the house and all that kind of good stuff! Then, one day I came home and found these on the table......

Two Dozen Beautiful Red Roses!

Mat bought me roses! He hasn't bought me roses for a long time, so it was a very sweet thing to do. It was a little funny because when I got home they were in a blue plastic pitcher because he didn't know where any vases were! Cute!

Anyway, he surprised me and made me feel very lucky to have him around!

Thanks hun! I love you!

( I know it is a lot of pics of roses, but I thought they looked cool with the flash of my camera, kind of like they were glowing, or fluorescent. Plus, I do need to document Mat's sweetness!)
