Ok, I'm a day late posting this, but We did call yesterday and the kids (and Mike) sang Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Mom! I can only hope to look as great as you do at 50!

Greg's visit to Texas
We all loved having Greg come and visit. Alex LOVES Greg! One of the first things out his mouth was always "Greg?" or "Where's Greg?" We even heard that this morning and had to tell Alex again that Greg had gone back to Grandma's house. The kids had a great time and Greg was great at keeping them entertained (can you come back?) :)
After an eventful flight to TX (3 hours late thanks to turning around and returning to SLC to change planes) Greg got here on Wed just in time for dinner with the missionaries and bedtime for the kids.
Thursday we headed downtown to the Alamo and Riverwalk. The river had been drained due to some construction that was going on, so he didn't get the full effect, but he said he liked it anyway. We had lunch down there (much cheaper than dinner) and got back just before the kids got out of school. Once the kids went to bed, the canasta cards came out!
Friday we headed to the SA Temple for a session. It was strange, but wonderful, to look over and see Greg in the temple with us. A friend was watching the kids for us since it wasn't open until after school. More canasta after the kids bedtime.
Saturday we did some yard work, it was too nice of a day to stay inside. We bar-b-qued hamburgers for lunch and then washed the car. We went to Rudy's for dinner that night. With BBQ sauce in hand (for both Greg and us) we headed home to put kids to bed. More cards, this time Mike played too.
Sunday was church, bright and early (especially if you stay up until 1-2am playing cards.) Mike stayed home with Alex and Aimee for Sacrament meeting (Aimee had been coughing ALL night long and Alex had a runny nose) and then I went home and he went to church to teach preisthood. 3 handed Canasta after bedtime.
Monday we did laundry... exciting I know. Greg did play with the kids a lot. Alex while the other kids were at school, and the other two once they got home. More cards after bedtime.
Tuesday Greg and I played some more canasta. We had to break the tie before he headed home. We got him to the airport on time and headed home (after a stop to get some milk.)
THANKS for coming Greg. We enjoyed it and I hope you did too!
Now, we get to look forward to a visit from Grandma (and maybe Grandpa?) in March. Kerry and Michelle are more than welcome to come for Spring Break if they would like. We would love to have you visit!
