Happy Birthday to MICHELLE! 28 years and still partying like a ROCKSTAR

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. So after being treated like a queen by some of my girlfriends, I decided to party it up at Red Robin with Gary, Tona, and my father in law. It was a great night! We had a cute old guy make balloon animals for the kids and flowers for me! I was sung to by the waiters, the kids posed with someone in a costume (which is a big deal due to them usually freaking out and running the other way or hiding behind us), and I enjoyed my ice cream (that I wasn't able to finish due to the bottomless french fries). It was fun being together and laughing and realizing how lucky I am to have great people in my life.

Ella's wants her haircut

So Ella came up to me and told me she wanted her hair cut. So after checking in with dad about it, we decided it was time for a makeover. So the 1st picture was where it was. The second picture is Ella showing me how short she wants it and then then rest of the pics are glam pics! The last one is of coarse her rockstar pic!! Watch out for this one!!!

Logan and his trains

So Logan is totally into trains. We are always tripping over or stepping on a train track or train car. We have walked upstairs to our bonus room and found the longest tracks to unknown destinies. He will play for hours and want to show us what he has created. We think he got this from his cousin Luca. The only thing is that he doesn't want to clean them up. You are probably asking about the hair.... well I will tell you about that later

My Favorite Family Pictures

These are two of my favorite family pictures. These were taken in Utah after my brother's wedding in spring 2007.

Boise State Football Video

Well Rick is already counting down untill football season starts again. He has six long months until until the broncos play on the blue turf again. He is watching all his BSU movies he has and has been reading up on this years team. We included this short clip so you to can get excited about our broncos!

So Ell had her dance recital a little before Christmas and always put on quite the show. She was a sugarplum fairy as you can tell by the picture. She does her little dance, talks to her friends, poses for pictures, gets embarrased when people tell how cute she is or how well she does, and then asks when we can get ice cream. She has dance once a week with a lady we used to go to church with and seems to love it.

So my brother Gary decided to have his birthday party at a go-kart track and invited us to go a couple of laps. All I can say is that all my memories/skills of racing as a kid back in NYC came back. The best part of the race for me was beating Rick. He tried but couldn't pass me as took him in turn 3. Ella and Logan thought it was pretty funny to see us drive around in small cars.
