SURPRISE!

Happy Birthday to my sister Michele!!!! That's right, it was her 40th birthday. You would never know it would you? She got 40 black balloons, a few bouquets of flowers, some new cowboy boots, but her best present was a surprise visit from her mom and dad and ALL her siblings and spouses. Michael knew she would love it, so we all made our way up to SLC for a quick weekend. We all met at our meeting place, then were going to go to Payton's baseball game, where Michele was going to be. We were just about to head to the baseball game in our 5 distinguishable cars when Michael calls and says that Michele is leaving the game to go home for a minute....she will be driving RIGHT BY US in our 5 distinguishable cars. We quickly drive to a big parking lot across the street to "hide." David, in his big distinguishable truck, was last to cross the street and just as he was about to do so, Michele drives right in front of him......wheew, she didn't see him. So when she passes, we all drive to the baseball game. We park our 5 distinguishable cars in the corner, hopefully she won't notice. We go and find Michael, cheer on Payton, embarrass him and wait for Michele to come back.......

Here we all are....cheering.....waiting.......

Here she comes!!!!!! (Look how happy Michael is)

WHAT?!? She was so confused, happy, surprised, emotional....

Michele said when she drove up, she saw a big (beautiful) bald head sitting in the stands and thought, "hey, that looks like Trent." But she didn't think anything more of it. She was also surprised to see Mom and Dad, they had been staying at her house that whole week, but they "left" on Friday. They actually just went up the road a few miles and stayed with Uncle Jim and Aunt Kay. They met us on Sat. and went to the baseball game with us.

We went to dinner @ the Texas Road House.

Yum!

"Attention Texas Road House!!! We have Michele here and she's turning 40. Let's all give her a nice loud YEE HAW!"

Back in the saddle again...............It was Keith's birthday the next day. The big 70!

Then we went BoWLiNg! (for Kathryn)

Some of us were good.....

......some of us were not so good.

Some of us needed lots of help.......

Some of us tore it up........

Some of us were more interested in other things.......

......... and I tore it up in skeet ball!

It was a quick, up & back trip. Trent and I had to drive back to Blanding early Sunday morning so I could work a 16 hour shift. It was totally worth it though. We had so much fun!! Happy Birthday to Michele, the best oldest sister I've ever had!!!! Lots of love!!!!!
