Happy Birthday Parker...rough day...

Let's be honest, is this the saddest birthday face or what? Parkers birthday was tonight and he was completely worn out from throwing up all day. Do you remember throwing up as a kid? It was THE WORST! You know you would cry and wonder what in the heck was going on. The only bonus was that you got to stay home from school...and watch "Today's Special" of course. Smart.


Get over here and give me a kiss.

I'm dying laughing because Cathie ducked out of the picture at the last min and was on the floor! Stop, drop and roll chica:)

For those of you who don't know, Parker has autism. Cathie is such an amazing mom and helps him so much. It was awesome and so fun to see parker write his name and tons of different words tonight. This is a really big step for him and gives us and especially his parents hope that he will be able to communicate better in the future.

I love that he is so cuddly:)

He even wrote HARP for me. Thanks man:)

Yes this is Hannah playing my harp. That is another story why my harp is at their house. Well Hannah said tonight "I'm going to have a harp like you when I'm a grown up and I'm going to LOVE IT!" Yes you are. She has now officially realized she is a girl. We found this out because she started ending her prayers with "A-women" instead of "A-men". Ha ha! I was loving it!

Ok so here's the harp story. I got in my car and it wouldn't start. I jumped it. All good. Put my harp in, won't start again. Went and got a gas can..maybe it was out of gas? No luck. I was PANICKING because I had to be up in midway to play at a wedding in 30 min!! Luckily Mergs was to the rescue and I used his truck. (Thanks Stace for being willing to let me use your car....love you:). Anyways it was crazy but then I finally got on my way and up there. It just must have been my day because later that night I did another brilliant thing....

So the vallet boy helped me so much with my harp, getting it in, out, drawing me a map etc. He told me he just got back from his mission and he was so sweet and a great worker. So I had no money to tip him so I thought "well i'll just write him a check". I wrote him a check for $20 because he was such a nice kid and helped me so much. Well, later that night I realized that I handed him THE WRONG CHECK. I gave him a check that was written to me for $150. I was dying! I got ahold of the hotel and talked to him. He was all " I was so excited! NO way $150!!" He told me he was showing all his vallet buddies and no one could believe it. They were all asking what he REALLY did for me :) Oh man, now I feel bad sending him only 20$. Well, needless to say we got it all figured out. Good one.

Ok anyways thanks Mergs for the loan of the truck. Here are a few pics of night snowshoeing last week.

I taught kick boxing thurs night and did 899 lunges then we went night snowshoeing and skiing the next day. My legs were burning!! Perfect time for Fredrico's. This is a pizza joint we would frequent our freshman year in Logan. Davis 201 for life!

I would have been freaking out had I handed out 150 bones and not meant to. I am sure he was still excited about his 20$ tip. :)

That Parker is so stinkin' sweet (and Cath is the best Mama ever...is there anything better than a mothers love?!)

I'm so sorry about all the drama with the car and all. No wonder you never made it over for brows:)

Hope you're having fun on the cruise. I'll see your tan "a" soon.

P.S. Why did you stop at 899? You should have done an even 900. (You're super woman, I swear).
