The Big Week

We had some fun visitors over Mother's Day weekend. Jesse, Aubry, Joel, and Meric all came to see us. We had a blast! This picture was taken by our favorite custard place 'Luv it'...and we do!

This picture is proof that I am obviously the favorite aunt. We were so sad when they had to go home. 

On Thursday I turned the big 3-0. Greg got me some flowers for Mother's Day/My birthday. Aren't they beautiful? 

I had a GREAT birthday full of yummy food, gifts, phone calls, balloons (thanks Ashley), and flowers. Turns out being 30 isn't so bad.

My last gift was a special birthday cake. Every time we go to Dairy Queen I tell Greg how yummy the ice cream cakes look. Well, I got an ice cream birthday cake this year. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream birthday cake-- it did not disappoint!

On Saturday, May 17 Greg graduated from UNLV with a Master's in Music Theory and Composition. Quite the accomplishment! We were so happy his parents were able to come and support. It was a special day for us.

UNLV Graduation Day---May 17, 2014 

Me and my favorite graduate!

That evening we celebrated Emily's 2nd birthday. She was so cute opening all of her presents.

She got a lot of great stuff. She just played and played all evening. I think her favorite toy was the dollhouse (that was given to us from someone in our ward). She played with it for hours!

Here she is in the cute dress and shoes from Grandma Burr. She calls them her "princess shoes". 

Here she is with her birthday cake. Yeah, I know I smudged the "E" on her name. Better luck next year I guess.

She was terrified to blow out the candle, so Greg helped. She LOVED eating the cake though.

On Monday, May 19 we got together with some friends for the Dances' going away party. They're off to Rexburg. We sure will miss them. They have been good friends to us here.

I thought I would end the post with this cute picture of Emily. She loves to get into my jewelry and throw it all over the house, but honestly, how can I be mad at that face?
