My birthday is really on July 2nd, which was Thursday, but it's not a party unless my kids are here. I was born in 1953 (you do the math).
My son came home last night to spend some time with me. He lives in Provo, where he goes to school and has a job.
Today (Sunday) Aaron cooked a home made pizza for me, he actually rolled out the dough:
Sarah baked me a moist chocolate cake. She also made a chocolate sauce that we poured over the cake:
This is something that still amazes me and my amazement makes my kids laugh. They think I'm being so old fashioned.
My son got me using a program called 'skype' so we can see Susan when we talk to her. She and her little family live in the Phoenix area.
Thanks to this technology, she sang 'Happy Birthday' to me, along with her brother, sister and dad. She had to watch us eat cake, but we did cut her a slice so she could pretend to eat with us.
Me blowing out my candles:
Later, we moved to my little office upstairs where Aaron hooked up my new Quickcam 3000. It was a gift from Sarah who also bought me new RAM for my slow computer. It faster now.
I was also given a new watch band, and a fishing pole that I was allowed to have earlier in the summer. My parents took me to dinner on Friday.They gave me a new blouse and bucket of food storage. They know me well.
I've had some special attention; Joe fixed me breakfast on Thursday. My grand daughters colored pictures for me and my children have been so nice.
My last comment is about how the rest of our 4th of July went. As you'll see on my previous post, Sarah and I went fishing in the morning.
Later she joined her dad and me on a walk in the Dimple Dell park area. In the middle of the day this is a hot and rugged gulch. It has some horse trails and a stream that runs through it. Usually we go there in the evening when it's cooler. I've never attempted it in the afternoon before and I think I never will again. Our walk was a bigger workout than I'd anticipated and it felt like a hundred degrees down there.
Sarah and her dad were getting ahead of me once in awhile and would have to wait for me to catch up. I may be a little slow, but I do keep going.
We all stayed up late and had fun cooking and visiting in the kitchen.
That's it for now.

What a great birthday mom - that's fun that everyone cooked for you! :) That picture of us all together (and me on the skype) is pretty funny - it sure is fun chatting with you all that way - I feel like I'm really there (almost). :)
It was a fun weekend, I hope we can skype in with Susan next weekend with Susan
Happy "late" Birthday Lesa! Sounds like you had a very 'fun' birthday! Your kids are awesome to give you that neat technology for your computer so you can 'see' while staying in touch! Glad you and Joe and kids keep up with the hiking. I went with my kids this weekend to the Lava Tubes west of Fillmore. Man, I found muscles I haven't used in a 'long time'! Boy do I need to walk more!! haha
Well, so glad you had a great day!!
Love
Linda
