Today was Gary's mother's 88th birthday. We moved her up to Salt Lake in April to be closer to us so we could help out more. She lives just a few miles from us. We have been able to be more involved in her care. She had a wonderful party this afternoon. All 6 of her living children were here to celebrate with her. She was really touched and loved having all of them there. She told them how much she appreciated all of them and their love and support. I snapped a few photos of the event.

It was also Annie and Steve's 4th anniversary today. I can't believe it has been that long since they were married. It has been a great 4 years. I have really seen both of them grow together over that time. They bought their own house, Steve got a great job working on motorcycles, Tommy was born, and continues to be an exceptional nurse. We are so blessed to have them live close by. On another note Gary was asked to serve in our ward's bishopric. He will do a great job and learn much from the other men. Today was a fairly busy day for our family. It was great to have so much family around and spend some time with those we don't see very often. We are in for a fun week with Tommy. His mommy is going to girl's camp with her ward this week so he gets to stay with us while daddy works. It is going to be a great week. I will post pictures of our adventures next Sunday.
