What a week!

First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABE!
Today is Gabes 10th Birthday. There were times when we wondered if he would MAKE it to 10. We sure are happy that he did. It's hard to believe that he has been a alive for a decade...time sure flies when you're having fun! So he had a sleep over Birthday party on Wednesday & had a lot of fun. Hope today will be just as good for him.
ANYWAY...
It was a CRAZY week here at Casa FamilyMoe. Sunday was my (MJ) Mom's birthday and I planned a surprise birthday party for Mom with all of my Utah dwelling siblings: Doug & Courtney with Alex & Ross & Angela with Allie & of course Dad, now that he is back in Utah. Mom was brought to tears & had a fun afternoon. Mathew was king of the grill again & BBQed some KILLER steaks. We visited, relaxed & even got some GREAT news: Doug & Courtney are expecting #2 in March! WOO HOO!
Monday started a LONG week for Gina: BANDCAMP! 8AM - 8PM with 1hour lunch break & 2 hour dinner break. All of their hard work is paying off & Salem Hills will have a great field show: The Beatles! Can't wait to see it Friday night at the family BBQ which of course coincides with other commitments!
Wednesday was Gabe's big sleepover & it was a hit! Chicken nuggets & french fries were eaten by all with a lemon cake to top it off.
Friday will be busy with celebrating Gabe's Birthday, the family BBQ & tunes in the trees. It is a part of the Salem Days celebration. All of the kids from her Suzuki studio will be playing fiddle songs at the park...at the same time Gina is performing her field show. Thank goodness we have 2 video recording devices...gotta LOVE digital!
Saturday will be Gina's 1st (of many) parades. We have primo seats on the parade route...we LIVE on the parade route :) Plus the huge firework show that night...can't wait! We didn't see any other fireworks this year.
Ahhh...next weeks just working will be a great break!
