A great Saturday with the Folks!

So last weekend, Steve and I were out of town, and then we had a lot of things to catch up with upon returning. One of the best parts about living in Davis County has been that we get to see our parents and parents in law on a weekly basis. Well since we hadn't seen either set in about two weeks Saturday was spent catching up on that.

First we went to lunch with Steve's Parents at the Olive Garden, it was great to see them, and Steve's Dad ended up giving me some much needed advice on my Relief Society Lesson.

Then for dinner we joined my folks at Little America, which is always fun, and then we went with them to RC Willey (always a fun store to wander in) while they bought a new washer and water heater.

We didn't have any pictures from yesterday, but I thought it might be fun to post a few from a trip we took this past summer with both sets of parents to Mt. Rushmore, and while that may sound like a disaster in the making it was actually a really fun trip

The Cabin

The Cabin

So last Thursday Steve and I headed up to my Grandma Johnson's Cabin, it is such a peaceful place, and we are so grateful that we get to spend time up there. On Friday April, Justin and Carson joined us and then on Sunday, Kim, Dave and the Kids came up, most of the weekend was spent playing games, sleeping, and eating... as most cabin weekends are spent, but there were two afternoons of sledding that also turned out great below are some pictures.

Today Jill sent me an e-mail with a link to another person's blog where they had this clip of this commedian talking about how spoiled we all are today. I hate to say it, but this guy hits the nail on the head with some of the things he says. Enjoy! Click on this link to view the video clip: http://barefootmeg.multiply.com/video/item/56

Superbowl - Birthday Party

So the celebrations of Steve's birthday continued throughout the weekend, culminating with a family dinner at our house on Sunday followed by the Super Bowl. Below are some great pictures from the evening - Steve and I in our 3-D glasses for the commercials. By the way I never remember them giving me such a headache as a child.

As everyone left that evening Steve and I were saddened to see the Cardinal's lose the game in the last few minutes, as we typically cheer for the underdog. We reminisced a bit about last years Super Bowl, we were on a trip in Boston for Steve's birthday and the New England Patriots were playing the New York Giants there were nice televisions in the lobby of the hotel, but since we were rooting for the underdogs (the Giants) we watched on the small television in our hotel room, as the Giants won, and we cheered quietly so that none of the fans in the main lobby chased us down. It was a great evening a year ago and a great evening last night.
