The first full weekend in February we were able to get away and spend a little time with family in Holden. It was a much needed break from all that we have had going on and all that we will be doing in the next 6 weeks getting ready for our 4th annual bull sale.
Clay especially enjoyed it when Brooks came over to visit. He says they are Best Friends!
While there, Dirk and I were able to go to the Manti Temple with my dad, and Judd and Kellie, it was such a special evening completed with a delicious Mexican dinner and fried ice cream. Just thinking about it now makes me hungry!
The girls were even able to stay the entire weekend! A first in a long time.
Saturday night we had a Birthday Party for Dakota! We were so happy to see Great Grandma Turner and Aunt JoAnn! We love it when they come over.
My mom always out does herself. She made a huge pan of lasagna, homemade bread sticks and her salad is to die for. It was all so good.
This lucky girl got to have an old favorite of mine, something that was tradition when we were growing up...Record Cake! It was divine.
Dakota was such a ham that evening. She must have known she was the spotlight!
Everyone was so kind and brought gifts.
Dakota wanted to sit on them and Clay, well, he wanted to open them. He was so funny. He kept telling me that he was a good present opener and asking if he could help her.
I was so glad that we were able to celebrate our sweet little baby turning 1! I can say that Grandma Jill and Papa have both been to all four of the 1 year celebrations!
Thanks Mom, for making party for Dakota happen!
Of course we made the rounds and Clay couldn't resist sitting in Papas tractor.
And last but not least...We are excited to welcome Kristi into our family! Everyone adores her, especially all the kids.
The trip to Holden was a success and we all look forward to doing it again sometime soon!
