Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

"The last Harry Potter: Almost like watching your childhood come to end" Falyn would definitely agree. The first Harry Potter movie debuted in 2001, she was 11 years old, and the last movie she is now 21. Falyn & Farah have both grown up with Harry Potter, the books and the movies. Fact is our family loves the story. Falyn and her roommates had so much fun dressing up as characters for the premier. Scott and I didn't dress up, but we also enjoyed the movie. Farah is going today...

We had a great week in Palm Springs and Southern California. The best part- having Falyn home. We went to an Angel's game, Hotel del Coronado, Downtown Disneyland, and visited family in Cherry Valley- lots of fun! We love summertime.

Good-Bye Gallbladder!

Friday, June 24, 2011 Farah had her gallbladder removed at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera. We arrived at the hospital at 10:30 AM, and left the hospital at 7:45 PM, it was a long day- we are very happy that Farah did not have to stay the night. Scott was able to take off work, and Grandma and Poppy were also there offering love and support. Farah is very very sore; and she hates when we make her laugh. She had four incisions, so her tummy is very tender. Her new pajamas look really cute on her- thanks G'ma & Poppy. :)

Happy Father's Day- He is the world to me...

Daddy & Mother

Daddy, Scott, Me, and Farah

Scott opening his Father's Day gifts

He isn't much in the eyes of the world

He'll never make history

No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world

But he is the world to me

My dad, now here is a man

To me he is everything strong

No, he can't do wrong, my dad

My dad, now he understands

When I bring him troubles to share

Oh, he's always there, my dad

When I was small I felt ten feet tall

When I walked by his side

And everyone would say "That's his daughter"

And my heart would burst with pride

My dad, oh I love him so

And I only hope that some day

My own daughter will say

"My dad now here is a man"

Birthday Dinner at Sea Salt in Salt Lake City

Happy Birthday Falyn-21!!! I flew to Utah to celebrate Falyn's Birthday with her. We stayed the night together at Shannon & Charlie's in Salt Lake City. On Saturday (Birthday) Our best friends, Stacey Murdock and her daughter Amanda Murdock- Jones drove from Odgen to Salt Lake City and took us to lunch at "Cheesecake Factory" we had the best visit and lots of laughs. We enjoyed the mall at Hillcrest Park after lunch. Falyn found a charming boutique with one-of- a- kind clothing. She bought three adorable tops/blouses from the boutique. Shopping, lunch, and best friends, it doesn't get any better! We returned to Salt Lake City- Shannon had Charlie take the boys to a game in Provo, so it was Girl's Night! She took us to a new Italian restaurant in the city called "Sea Salt" we ordered pasta, pizza, and appetizers! Falyn enjoyed a little hazelnut Birthday gelato for dessert. Sunday Shannon and Charlie hosted another Birthday dinner for all of the April Birthday's in the family including Leighanne, Falyn, and William. Monday night Aunt Nancy invited us to dinner at her home in Lehi. She made Falyn's favorite angel food cake with strawberries for dessert. Falyn and I spent Monday shopping, laughing and out to lunch. I visited Falyn's apartment at Apline Village in Provo twice, but I never met a roommate! I finally (after 8 months) saw where my daughter lives! Great looking apartment, and very clean and neat! Falyn also drove me by Anderson Roger's Law Firm, where she works, and I saw the building she attends church in too. Provo has changed a lot since I lived there 23 years ago. Happy Birthday Falyn- I love you!
