39 and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

I turned 39 years old on February 25th--my last year in my 30's! My Mom and Dad were able to be here for my birthday which made it extra special.

We spent a few days with them going bowling, playing games,  and enjoying time together. Thank you for coming to visit us, Grandma and Grandpa! We love you both!!!

Grandpa Romney Comes for a Visit

Grandpa Romney came for a short weekend visit so he could be here for Connor's priesthood ordination on Sunday, February 14th. We were so excited and grateful that he could come for this very special occasion.

He brought more birthday gifts for Connor...

Another Nintendo 2ds game!!

Grandpa and all of his grandsons!!!

Grandpa and all of the Romney kids.

We enjoyed eating Mexican food, playing games and spending time together while he was here. Thanks for coming to visit us!!!

We love you, Grandpa!

Connor's 12th Birthday

Today Connor officially turned 12 years old! 

We had his favorite dinner, spaghetti, of course. Since we already celebrated his birthday on Saturday, we didn't do another big cake--just a small personal cake for Connor. We did manage to fit 12 candles on it, though!!

He opened a few more presents and then he headed out the door to his first mutual night at the church. I can hardly believe he is 12!!!

Game On!

On Saturday night, Connor celebrated his 12th birthday with a few of his friends. He had a video game party.

 I had a lot of fun making the decorations for his party and Connor loved it all!

Gaming Cupcake Tower

"Game Over" Party Favors

Several flavors of "Power UP"

Connor and his friends enjoyed playing several different games on the Nintendo Wii U and 2ds. They laughed and laughed at things that are only funny to 11 and 12 year old boys. It was fun to listen to them from the other room! Jason made the comment that it was like having 4 Connor's in our living room because they all acted just like Connor :)

He received a new Pokemon game for his Nintendo 2ds from Mom and Dad. He was very excited about that!

His friends were also very generous. He received some money, gift cards, and Pokemon cards.

The party was a hit and they all had a great time playing video games, eating pizza and cupcakes, and laughing and telling silly jokes until it was time to go home.

Happy Birthday, Connor!!!
