Tony's Birthday! And a busy weekend

Last Wednesday it was Tony's 28th birthday! Elizabeth Devin and mostly I made him a card, Liz colored and decorated it, and put her painted hand print on, Devin just provided me his foot so I could attempt to put his painted footprint on but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped...ah well, it's the thought right?! We got him some Hiking around Salt Lake books, and for him the kids and I dressed up in our BYU shirts, nice touch I know ;) When he got home from work we went to dinner at the Mayan, as we had a bogo coupon, Elizabeth absolutely LOVED the diving shows, she was completely enthralled!! She'd clap after every jump it was so cute to watch! Tony and I enjoyed the food, and especially the dessert as we got the chocolate cake with the sparkler on it(can't remember what they call it) Elizabeth of course thought it was a candle and was "helping" daddy blow it out...it took alot of blowing! ;) Tony's parents came by that evening and gave him a very nice Y tie and cute picture frame with a picture of the kids. It wasn't a fancy birthday but I think he had a good time!
Thursday Tony got off early as we had to drive out to Riverton to take Little Girl to her eye dr. The good news is she is a bit less farsighted, the bad news is her right eye is still crossing a little bit sometimes, so he adjusted her prescription, and she got to pick out new glasses! She picked out super cute magenta princess ones that make her look like such a big girl! She can't wait to get them(hopefully on Friday) After that we went to Matt and Steph's house and they graciously had us to dinner again, and then we watched Tangled in their home theater, Elizabeth was so cute with her popcorn and candy and juice, she was set! She even made it through an hour of the movie which is a record for her! We had a really good time!
Friday Tony took off just a bit early and we drove out to Stansbury and looked at an Ivory home...maybe someday. Saturday was a super busy day, we got up got ready and headed to Centerville we went to the DI first to look for some bigger clothes for little girl as she's hit a huge growth spurt and literally fits into none of her clothes, and doesn't have really any summer clothes either, I found some really good stuff! Then we went over to the Distribution Center and picked up a couple movies for the bridal shower gift for my cousin's fiance. Then we went up to my cousin Sarah's house for the Bridal shower which was fun, unfortunately Little Guy and I had to leave early as Tony and I had Desert Star. Ketty kindly met us there and we just switched cars. The show was absolutely hilarious!! We laughed so hard, and had a really great time just the two of us!
Sunday Devin went to church for the first time, and I went for the first time in a long time! It was really nice to be back!! After church we went over to our friend and neighbor's as it was Elizabeth's best friend Sam's birthday and she made a card for him...and they just had their baby! So I visited there while Liz played and Tony got dinner started and cleaned up a bit. My parents joined us for dinner, and gave Tony the expansion set for our favorite game Ticket to Ride for his birthday, after dinner we put Elizabeth to bed as she was sooooo ready for it! Then we of course played Ticket to Ride...so fun!! Well that's it for us for now, enjoy the pics!

Elizabeth grabbed her blanket, wrapped herself up and passed out in like 5 seconds!!
