Grandpa Welling's 85th Birthday

This wonderful man turned 85 this week!
I sure love my grandpa!  He is the most generous person I know!

There are so many things I love about him, but one of my favorites, is all of his offspring!  

What a great family we have!

So glad to be together to celebrate such a great man!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

"Lego Land"

We went to Fashion Place Mall to see the Lego display.  My mom kept calling it "Lego Land" and Matt kept getting so frustrated because he KNEW it wasn't the real Lego land.  I don't know why, but that made me laugh so hard.  Also, Andrew was so worried about all the mannequins that had no heads.  He kept saying, "All gone."  ha ha.  Funny guy!  At the very end they had a place to build lego cars and race them.  Matt won 1st place!   Thanks mom for coming with me and helping me wrangle my children!  

Matt about to race and WIN!

My mom with a sad Lindsay.  Grandmas have a magic way of making things all better.

Blossoms at the Capitol

If you live anywhere near SLC, you MUST go to the capitol to see the blossoms!

They were AMAZING!!  SO SO SO Beautiful!  Go!  Now!

Alphabet Dates-- O Date

We had an OUTRAGEOUS O date!  We started with an OATMEAL and OMELET breakfast.  Then we drove up to Syracuse to try the ORIENTEERING course full of OBSTACLES (that was actually really fun—it was my first time orienteering!) Next, we went to Darin’s OLDER brother’s house for lunch.  Cute Janie made us an ORANGE Julius’!  We played OUTSIDE for a little while.  Later that night we got take OUT from OUTBACK (thanks for the gift card Tom) and made ORIGAMI.  After OUR OFFSPRING went to sleep we watched Phantom of the OPERA and ate OREOS!

Notice Andrew in his ORANGE shirt and OVERALLS!!

When I made Andrew leave the ducks, he was so MAD!  

He stayed in this position forever!
