Tawny turns 30

the title seemed fitting since we had a couple of family parties and we only just had Adam's party as well. My birthday was lots of fun. We started my birthday weekend with a bonfire at Corona Del Mar and a beach day. it was so fun and the weather was nice it was windy and cloudy when we wanted to play in the water and then the wind died down and it was hot later when we started the fire. but when it got dark it was not freezing which is always nice bonfire weather. then on Saturday we went to Knotts Berry Farm with my sister and Kyah and that was lots of fun too. and then ....on Sunday we had our traditional General Conference Breakfast and watched General Conference then we had what turned out to be a big family party Sunday evening where Bryan's Mom and all his brothers and sister came and my parents and my sister Jessie and her daughter Kyah, who knew they all liked me so much :D I got fun gifts like some rad boots, some neat fall and holiday(or any day) dishes, an apron, a purse, a wallet and a headband now that is an awesome birthday but it is not over yet. in 2 days I am going to see Phantom of the Opera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited...Now here is the pic fest!!

My 2nd party was lots of fun too. We had homemade chicken noodle soup and cheesecake and ice cream, yum yum!!

Adam turns 3

For Adam's birthday we had a bring your own bikes and scooters party. It was of course a super unordinarily hot day so we brought a lot of what was going to be outside inside but it worked out fine and Adam had a blast with his friends. At Adam's birthday we were blessed with some fun friends including Josie and Tallulah Heder, Jackson and Leanna Taneilu, Wyatt, Austin and visits from Family throughout the day...Uncle Josh and Aunt Sarah, Aunt Jessie and cousin Kyah, Uncle Geoffrey and Jessica, Uncle Christopher and Regina, Nana, Mima and Papa and Grandpa and Grandma (he is one loved little boy) We are so blessed to have so much family around. We had lots of fun and birthdays are such great excuses to get all the family together!!

the menu: Polish dogs (costco dogs, Adam's request) Kristen's special salad (frog eye salad), pasta salad, and a veggie tray!!!

Luckily the Taneilu's brought cupcakes because turns out we had a much larger family turn out than expected and ate almost all of them and the frog ones :D
