This past weekend we spent it up in Ogden for some family functions. It was busy but so much fun. Saturday we had a family reunion for my mom's side. Our family was in charge which somehow ended up being me and my aunt doing most of the planning and coordinating. I was in charge of games and activities. We painted sun catchers, hit a couple of pinatas and had a doughnut eating contest. The rule for that was that they were not allowed to use their hands and they all took it so seriously. It was the funniest thing to watch. Most of them wanted to do it again. They loved it. AFter the kids were done, there were a few adults that wanted a go at it. My cousin that won ate the remaining part of the doughnut off of the cement. It was great. She deserved to win at that point. Good times. Every year at this reunion also we have a raffle to win random junk (you know what they say; One man's junk is another man's treasure). Broc ended up with a squishy ball. I am trying to get rid of all my junk not aquire more therefore didn't try to win anything. All in all, it was a success.
Sunday I was in charge of a baby shower for my sister Heidi. We made monkey cupcakes and oreo truffles (Thanks Valerie for the recipe. Everyone LOVED them). I also made what Heidi's boyfriend's son calls Heaven in a Bowl (jello salad). It was nice seeing family and old friends that I don't get to see as much anymore. It was a busy, busy weekend but I am glad I have family to do all of this with and for. Thanks babe for putting up with craziness for the weekend.
Oh and on a side note, last Monday was also Justin's birthday. We went to Sushi House for a birthday dinner and Broc and I made him some German Chocolate Cupcakes for him to take to work. Every year for his birthday I usually take the day off, got to his office and decorate and take the cupcakes but since it was back to school week, I had to work. (One day I will be free of retail. I just need to keep telling myself that). Happy Birthday!! Broc and I love you and are so glad we have you around and get to call you ours. You are the greatest!!
