all in a week.

Can you believe this Mother of mine is 60! We had a surprise party that was worth all the deception. We flew into Vegas/ St. George a couple days before the party to finish up the last minute details and it was tricky business acting like I was in Rochester when I was actually just a hop, skip, and jump away from her.
I love personalized water bottles for any occasion. My Mother is such the hostess that she was handing them out during the party to make sure everyone was having a good time.


The best part of all was that my Mother was so thrilled and surprised to see
40 of her closest friends/family come to a party in her honor.

After the party Zach, Connor and I went to St. George to attend a surprise party for Bruce for his belated 60th surprise Birthday Party. Gavin came up with amazing T-Shirts and we partied and enjoyed Easter with the Reeses.

Stacey took these adorable pictures of Jack and Connor as she and Lu Anne watched Connor while Zach and I went home shopping in Denver. We saw 22 homes in 3 days, and we liked two of them... As my mother would say, I like champagne on a beer budget.

My mom told me all about those two rugrats this week. She was in heaven watching them play together. We are so excited for you guys to be so much closer. It was great seeing you over the weekend.

Congratulations on Denver (a little belated, I know.) Good luck with the house hunting. We're flying out to Arizona next week to do the same thing. I hope we find at least two we like!

I heard the party was awesome! I love all your cute littel details. House hunting sucks, but I'm so glad you had the chance to do so much while you were out here.

Hey, are you still gonna be my date for the class reunion?

I'm so glad you guys could make it work to be in St. George, it was so fun. You need to post some pictures of your probable houses, that is so much fun . . . a little stressful but fun!
