This past week has been quite eventful. Poor Richard has so many things to plan within one week every year in May. My birthday is on the 5th and our anniversary is on the 10th, with Mother's Day usually somewhere in between. My bday was a lot of fun. Richard got home at 2:00 and made scones for lunch since he leaves way too early to make them for my breakfast. There is nothing better than deep fried dough to celebrate getting older :) As usual, I ruined the surprise of what he was getting me for my bday present but I was very happy with what I got! He gave me the Fablehaven series along with The Candy Shop War, by the same author. 
Even though I ruined the element of surprise with my present, Richard was so proud of himself this year because he actually managed to surprise me with something on my birthday. He told me that we were going on a picnic for dinner but wouldn't tell me where. I kept trying to guess where we were going but couldn't figure it out. Last summer, we went exploring around this fort in Provo (remember this post?) and found a little trail that branched off and went to a pond that I'm pretty sure nobody else knows about. We were so excited to find this little hidden park and wanted to go back there but we forgot about it. I was definitely surprised when we ended up there for our picnic since I had completely forgotten about it and Richard was ecstatic that he had finally surprised me with something!
Kaylee slept the whole time so we enjoyed a quiet picnic and played Bocce ball and a few "holes" of Frisbee golf. Then we dropped Kaylee off at Richard's mom's house and saw the movie Bounty Hunter which was pretty disappointing. All in all it was a good bday even though I can't believe I'm already 23!!!

She's a tough one to surprise, Richard. I can't believe you still try to do it. I gave up long ago!
How did you ruin the surprise for your bday present? You guys seriously do the coolest stuff. I should hire you to plan date nights for me and Chase.
Ummmm... did you not get the new 5th book????
HA I don't want to ruin your fun... but I'm pretty sure the pond you found is part of the mental institution grounds. I took some of my bridals at this pond and at the little fort thats part of their little set up too. Thats real funny.
