Today was Chelsea's 25th Birthday! I can't

believe it! This is a picture of our family

get together for her birthday dinner on

Wednesday night. Such a cute couple!

Cort and Rodg and little Sarah. Also cute!
Ash, Ike, Linds and Keat. Cute face Isaac!
Check out the plates and glasses, that was
one of my many Mother's Day gifts!
A little reading before dinner. Check out that
book. It is 25 years old and a little worn out,
but everyday I would read it to Chelsea when
she was little and all the other girls. It is
all the nursery rhymes. They loved it, I think
someone else enjoys it too!
Yes, the book is bigger than Sarah!

Cortney was very insistant about having the

birthday dinner because she was so excited

to give Chelsea her gift. I'm not sure when

it first started, but Cortney started calling

Chelsea, "Buttons" and Chelsea would call

Cortney "Butts". Anyway, Cortney designed

this and made it for Chels for her birthday.

Chelsea admitted that it was her favorite

gift. That made both their nights! (If you

can't see, there is a lot of different shaped

and different colored buttons) Very cute

when you put it up to a painted wall!

The girls hanging out when the boys are out

playing basketball! (Notice Lindsey's Davis

t-shirt. It was one of my cheerleading shirts

from when I was in high school!)

We decided to come outside and join them.

Check out that form from Joey!

Such concentration from little sweat head Ike!

Of course Linds doesn't stand by watching,

she always joins in. That's Keat watching.

I didn't get any action shots of Keat, sorry!

Rodger, rebounding the balls! Such

a good sport!

This was taken this morning when she

dropped Sarah off and Chelsea was on her

way to work. I remember always wanting

Chelsea to grow up so I could see how she

would look, talk, act. It has gone so fast. Now

I get the satisfaction of seeing how beautiful

she is and what a great Mom she is. It has

been a fantastic 25 years!

So Joey asked me to tend so he could take

Chelsea to dinner. The boys were with their

Mom so Sarah and I went and visited Sally

and Rulon. It was so much fun. Aunt Sally

loved it, as well as myself. She didn't want

me to take her picture because she had been

out in the year all day. (Honestly, you should

see me when I've been in the yard all day!)

Isn't she beautiful! (Sarah too!) Speaking of

their yard, it was beautiful, as usual! (I'm

not real good about taking red eye out, so

Sarah's eye looks weird)

I think Sarah enjoyed the visit too!

While I was sitting there visiting, I noticed

the clock that was in the kitchen. This is the

clock that hung in Grandma Ellen's kitchen

when I was a little girl. Look real close and

you will see the bee bee shots in it. Great

memories!

When we got home, Ash and Dave were

there, fighting at who got Sarah. I think

Dave won. I really didn't have much

time with her so I will have to have

her again!

Fun day!
