HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TY!

TODAY WE HAD OUR ANNUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR TY AT OUR FAVORITE PARK IN PARK CITY. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HE TURNED THE BIG 4! WE, AT THE LAST MINUTE DECIDED TO GET HIM THIS JOHN DEER TRUCK. AT FIRST HE WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AND ACTED LIKE HE DIDN'T WANT IT. YEAH RIGHT. HE DID LOVE IT, AND KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT. LAUREN WAS ESPECIALLY FOND OF IT. SHE DROVE IT WAY MORE THAN TY DID. I MUST SAY, I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH THOSE WHO MADE THE EFFORT TO COME. KRISTIN (MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER), AND HER HUSBAND, AARON DROVE WITH THEIR 2 KIDS, 1HR. AND 45 MIN. TO GET THERE. ON A PRECIOUS SATURDAY , EVEN! JARED AND LISA DROVE ALMOST AS LONG WITH THEIR NEWBORN BABY. GREG'S MOM FLEW IN FROM ST. GEORGE IN ORDER TO BE THERE. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR FAMILY. YOU ARE ALL SO AWESOME TO TAKE TIME TO COME. MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE SHOULD PLAN A BIRTHDAY HIKE, OR A CAMPING TRIP, OR OLYMPIC PARK, OR SOMETHING. I'LL LET YOU ALL CAST YOUR VOTES. ANYWAY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING!

Kristin, My mom and me. I wish Mindy could have made it! I thought I had taken more pictures. I must have been chasing around my dopey dogs. This place is like Disneyland to them.
