Party Weekend!!

Ruth's birthday is the 13th and her big surprise party was on the 17th. I picked up Ruth, Ci, Tanya and Sid Saturday morning and we drove to Lordsburg, New Mexico. Ruth kept asking us all the way there what we were going for. We told her we were picking up her sister Myrtle. Ruth thought that was a long way to go and why couldn't someone else bring her back to Phoenix. We dropped her off at her sister June's and the rest of us went to the church to decorate. June told her they were going to the

church for a game night so she had to get dressed up. Ruth just wanted to stay at the house but they talked her into going. She was really surprised when she walked in the door and everyone started singing Happy Birthday.

All of her brothers and sisters were there.

This is the youngest of the bunch, Roy, his

wife Sunny and a great granddaughter.

the over 100 guests that came to wish her

well. She said, "This was so much fun I think

I will stick around and have another one next

year. We drove home Sunday morning.

The Glendale Stake is doing Youth Olympics.

Tanner got 1st place for making PJs for Adalyn.

Sunday was Diana's birthday! The family got

together at Darla's for dinner and birthday cake.

Her favorite is Lincoln Log. I made two just in case.

Princess Diana had to blow 3 times to

get all the candles out.
