Fab Weekend

Well, we had a wonderful weekend. Alecia flew in for the wedding(which by now everyone knows was cancelled due to cold feet by the bride and groom)but instead we had a big birthday party for Alecia & Teddi. Alecia turned 15 and Teddi turned 24. Alecia and I went shopping on Friday and she bought some new shirts and pants with her birthday money. She said that money was burning such a hole in her pocket that she almost bought some $2.00 potato chips on the plane just to spend some of it. Now that's the shopping fever! We had a wonderful lunch at the Olive Garden and just did girl stuff. When Cliff got home from work we opened her presents, a new flat iron for her hair, a new shirt, 3 movies, and a HaraJuku Lovers purse by Gwen Stephani . Later that night we went to Chinese with the Mexicans and had a nice dinner.

Saturday ,Teddi, Marty and Oli came out and we cooked dutch oven chicken and potatoes, salad, peach cobbler and a blue berry cream cake. Later Martin's Mom, Wanda, his sister and her daughter, and Martin's kids Tyler and Kaylene came and we all had dinner and just hung out. When we cut the birthday cake and sang to the birthday girls you know we had to do "bite it". Of course Alecia got her face smashed in the cake by Tony and got cake up her nose. We opened Teddi's presents, a set of wrought iron ladder sconces that hold candles for behind her sofa. A smaller version for wherever. A set of Ed hardy glasses for her bar with rocks, wine glasses, and tumblers, with shot glasses. They look just like her tattoo's, I hope she liked them. Teddi fared a little better with the bite it ordeal cause Alecia said Teddi has more experience and went in side ways so she just got a smear. Both were good sports (which is a must in this family) After dinner, Teddi and I took Oli for a walk and just chilled. I was sad to see them go home as I would have liked to spend more time with Teddi on her birthday but grown ups have their own thing they have to do!

We were thrilled that my nephew Syke came down from Salt Lake for the weekend and we had a wonderful time visiting with him. Cliff and Skye really hit it off and had a good time. Skye's wife Michelle had to work so she didn't come nor did my other nephew Chancy. Chancy's great grandmother passed away in New Mexico and he went to the funeral. His great grandmother Doris was quite a lady and will be missed.

All in all it was a tiring but nice weekend. It will take me all week to get the house clean again and the beds changed for the next round of guests this next weekend. My mom and dad are coming along with lots of the family to see my sisters daughter and son who are home from missions for their church. Let the good times roll
