Happy Birthday Dad!

Sunday was my Dad's 53rd Birthday, I can't believe it! We had the funnest surprise party for him. My mom brought him up to Snowbasin resort, where we were all there waiting for him. Dustin and I brought Grandma Webb along from Lewiston for the day trip. We were so happy to have her come with us, and she was so grateful to come along for the adventure! She is such a neat lady, we loved having ride back and forth from Ogden to visit and catch up.

We rode the gondola up to the lodge at the top for a gorgeous, delicious buffet. It was so much fun! The views were awesome, the food was amazing, and the company was the best!


Grandpa was so happy to have all of his grandkids there to celebrate...

The ride to the top was so fun! Kennedy and Preslie were scared of the heights a little bit, but the rest of the kids had an absolute ball!

Tayler and Kennedy are obsessed with Jami right now....sorry, Jame. Stop being so cool and maybe they'll leave you alone a little.

I think this picture is so funny, you can see how Kennedy and Hudson both felt about the gondola ride...

Jenna, Preslie, Nate and Cortnie

Here we are in front of the lodge at the top...

The buffet, the buffet, the buffet. It was the stuff dreams are made of. Creme Brulee on a Buffet = Dessert after each course. Heaven.

Hudson loved looking out the huge windows at the mountains below. These pictures really don't do it justice, it was breathtaking up there.

The lodge had big open rooms downstairs with comfy seating, so we hung out some more and gave Dad his presents. He was moved to tears by the little bragbook of his grandkids that I made for him. He is my favorite person to make presents like that for, he appreciates them so much! I love you, Dad!

Of course one more group shot with the spectacular scenery before we rode the gondola back down...

We spent over 5 hours at SnowBasin, it was so much fun! If you haven't been there and you can go, GO. It's great.

We stopped at Grandma Josie and Grandpa Jay's on the way home for more food and visiting, and just look at the surprise they had for her grandbabies...as if Grandma's house needed any thing more to make my kids beg to go there...

It was a fun weekend with all of us together, except Garret, who had to go to St. George for work training and couldn't be there. We sure missed you, and were so happy Trulie and Jace came anyway. We went to the park Saturday in Smithfield with some of the Chambers cousins, and it was so fun! I have just LOVED this summer because I feel like I've got to see our family so much, it has been great. Dad, thanks for the great reason to party some more. We love you so much, you are such an amazing example to all of us. Hope you are having fun on your Harley trip, we can't wait to see you again next weekend!
