Mima Ruby's Birthday Weekend

Next came Mima Ruby's Birthday!!! And we were lucky enough for Grandma Ruby and Grandpa Marv to make it to Salt Lake City to celebrate her birthday here with us!! And celebrate we did!We had a very fun day planned. First, Kaylen had all the playmates she could ask for first thing waking up. Little did she know this was actually Mima's day, but Mima had no problem sharing her day with her sweet girl.

Kaylen is just like her Mommy and won't miss an opportunity to dance with Grandpa Marv


My Mom and I headed to my favorite nail salon and I sprung for pedicures. It is something my Mom and I both have grown to appreciate... a little TLC on our feet! And it was such a great gift not only for her, but for me, was some nice time together!
We may have done a little over-buying in the cupcake department, but after Gregg bought some great cupcakes, my Mom and I checked out a gourmet mini cupcake bakery on our way home. We bought specialty cupcakes with each of us in mind. Kaylen's was "The Diva"... fitting!

Apparently, this was Kaylen's new way of eating cupcakes

She finally picked it up and made a lot more progress
A visit from Grandma and Grandpa is never complete without some nice outdoor playtime!

Mima's Birthday was by no means coming to an end. We had a great Birthday Dinner provided by Grandpa at Desert Edge Brewery.

To top off Mima's Birthday Event, our friend Anthony happened to be house sitting for a Dr. who lives up the canyon right up the road from us... who just happened to have a hot tub outside!! We got to complete our great day with a soak in the hot tub in gorgeous crisp air in the middle of the mountains. It was fantastic.

Mima is always so creative and full of ideas, so of course the Play Doh had to come out. Kaylen loved it.
We were very lucky that my parents made it to SLC once again flying standby and being so close to Spring Break. And also lucky for us, we got to celebrate Mima's Birthday WITH her for a change!! It was an absolutely wonderful trip full of birthday celebration, yummy food both out and when my Mom cooked. We were all very lucky for such a great visit. Thanks Mom for spending your birthday this year with us. We love you very much and appreciate all the special time we get with you both!
