More birthdays......and more to come!

This week my dad turned the BIG 5-0! I know old, huh? But, it's okay because he keeps getting more handsome with every year (kinda like George Clooney)
Us kids made my dad a big scrapbook of the "50 Reasons We're Glad Your Our Dad". It turned out really really really cute! You might think you know how long it took us to make it, but you don't! It took us soooooo long...many long Saturdays, but it was totally worth it because he absolutely loved it!
Our Niece, Ashley, also turned 3 this week! My sister made her this adorable pony cake--the same one my mom made us when we were little.....yes, very precious. We kinda had a joint birthday party with her and my dad....she loved opening all her presents!! My sisters and I got her the most adorable little outfits from Old Navy. They have the cutest little kid clothes ever! She will be one stylin 3 year old this summer!
We amazingly talked my dad into letting us throw him a 50th birthday party, which was REALLY surprising! We had so much fun last night hanging out with friends and family! My uncle Drew and cousin Melissa were even here from out of town!

Your niece is so cute...are they in your ward? I saw them sitting with you guys at church while I was up there & she is a doll. What did you think about the bachelor last night? I can't believe Holly went home!! I need to stop watching so much tv. We dvr EVERYTHING so everynight I have something new to watch. Ridiculous but I can't not do it.
