Catching up on Birthdays...

We were MIA for the last week or so enjoying Spring Break and Conference. As a result, we missed some really important birthdays. Actually, we didn't miss them, we were able to celebrate them, but I missed posting them, so here we go:

Happy Belated Birthday to:

6th: Zachary


My little baby brother. Turning 19! Whoa! We sure enjoyed having Zach live with us for a semester of school in the fall. The kids really miss him. We enjoyed spending Conference with Zach and his friends and then we followed him home and hung out with him in Rexburg. We took him to dinner at Craigo's and tried to go to the temple, but missed the time! oops! The kids had a blast playing with Maddie and Andrea and of course, Uncle Zach! We love ya!

9th: Grandma Gray


On Thursday, Louis' grandmother turned 80!!! We felt so bad because Grandma was sick on her big day. We enjoyed a nice visit with her and she shared a favorite birthday memory. When she was in fourth grade, her mother let her invite her friends to a birthday party at the ranch. All of her friends came and her mother made ice cream. It sounded like a fun party. We decided to try and make another good memory for her and planned a surprise birthday party for Saturday. We sure enjoyed spending the day with Grandma! We had a delicious lunch and then enjoyed DVD of pictures and music from Grandma's life, followed by a Jeopardy game all about Grandma. It was so wonderful to hear her memories and see her beautiful smile! How I love Grandma Gray! My first visit to meet her was when Louis and I were just starting to "date" if you could call it that. Louis introduced me to Grandma by saying, "This is my friend, Camille." Grandma looked at me and then back and him and said, "That sure is a cute friend you've got there." I knew we'd be great friends! Love you lots, Grandma!!

11th: Joshua

My other little brother turned 23, which isn't really possible since I'm still 20, but whatever. We got to call and sing to Josh, but we felt a bit sad we couldn't party with him, too. We will have to plan a trip to Provo for a night of Wii. Josh is going to school to be an accountant so that I never have to do my taxes again. Ahh, I am SO excited! Josh is my brother who is the most driven, I think. He is always very passionate about whatever he does, especially the Jazz and BYU. We love ya, Josh!
