SHOUT OUT! To my Hubby!

MICAH LEROY WIEDERHOLD TURNED 23!!!!!

We had a fun time celebrating Micah's Birthday. It was on Memorial day and so he spent some of it with my extended family and enjoyed himself. They did sing happy birthday to him. We started off celebrating by going to a pet store. If you know Micah he LOVES pets.

All I did to this cat was point at it, and this is
what it did back. I was dying of laughter.

We fell in love with this cute puppy

 We had time to relax then went out to dinner with Micah's family to Texas Roadhouse, Micah's favorite place then a concert at the Scera outside theater, watched our group of the Sing off; Delilah, Vocal Point & Pentatonic's. We enjoyed it and the company. We love spending time with the Wiederhold's.

Memorial Day

How do you celebrate Memorial Day?

There are so many ways to celebrate and remember.

My extended family, Baird side. We get together and each family has a color.

For example my family wears orange.

Luckily this year it is the IN color. Sadly... Micah and I had to go run to a store before the party to buy orange shirts.

My aunt (auntie is what I call her) picks a cemetery where family is and we learn the history.

Who doesn't love learning facts about your ancestors?

While we were learning all these facts I got a HORRIBLE burn.

But being with family was priceless. ;)

Micah and I really enjoyed ourselves, and even on Micah's Birthday.

We had a BBQ lunch and sang songs of our family (my Auntie is just that cool) and recognize all the good our family including cousin's children's accomplishments.

After all the fun and the closing prayer my Uncle game another Uncle who has cancer, a very sweet tender blessing. It was awesome everyone got to participate.

Grandpa, Uncle Lonnie & Cousin Matt

My niece Josie had me take this picture of her, this is not a
relative but she thought it was a cool set-up. I totally
agreed it was so awesome. I wish I got to know this couple.

That is what I ate at the Baird Party. YUMMY

Great Grandchildren with grandma & grandpa

Lake Powell

This last week we got invited to go to Lake Powell. (thank you Lindsay and Kris)

Micah tried to surprise me.. but it really didn't work out.

We had so much fun in the sun, with great company and food.

My family... we know how to vacation. ;)

I loved the clouds on the way home, had to take a picture.

Thank you again Lindsay and Kris it was nice to have a relaxing weekend!

After our Sunday drive home we went to McKenzie's house to make salad's for a Baird family party. And I just have to mention. MCKAY MANNING DOESN'T STOP GROWING. He is only one inch shorter than me..... Can you believe it? He is 10 years younger than me. I'm 5'7" & McKay is 5'6"! 

CRAZY

SHOUT OUT!

10 Days of Japan-Day 10

DAY 10-LEAVING JAPAN

Before we could leave for Japan we needed to finish getting candy. That was my goal. Japan has great candy I love it. So we went shopping and tried to beat Paul and Terie to all the candy because they got it all the time before. On our way home I knew what was coming. The good-byes to my parents. When I got inside and everyone was upstairs packing my mom and I were crying and hugging. I love my mom and dad and I couldn't be more proud of them for serving the Lord. But it is hard to say good-bye to your parents and knowing you won't see them for a long time. You just have phone calls and occasional skype calls. So skipping all the time my family and I cried. We missed our LA flight to SLC because we hit a thunder storm in Tokyo and waiting for our cargo to get on the plane. We left an hour late! So when we got in LA there was really no organization with anything. We waiting about 4 hours in LA to make the next flight. When we got to SLC, Paul had a flat tire so we waited more. I think we were all glad to be home and not on a plane. 

I MISS MY PARENTS! I AM SO PROUD OF THEM AND PROUD TO BE THEIR DAUGHTER!

I got first place in tetris. I was so proud. :)

That awkward moment when you have to go to the
bathroom but the people to let you out to get to the
bathroom are asleep and you have to wait.

ONE DAY I'M GOING BACK TO JAPAN! :)

10 Days of Japan-Day 9

DAY 9- AQUARIUM

Morning time came and we (my mom, Terie, Paul, Sister Barney, Elder Barney, Micah & I) all loaded the car for our fun adventure to the Aquarium. I have been there before and knew how cool it was. They have a fun dolphin show and so many things to see. We walked in and we stayed at the Killer Whales forever. I told the group (most of them have never been there) that they would even love it more if they loved just walking in and seeing the killer Whales. We had such a fun time.

Then it was Cat's Cafe. Which in my opinion is delicious! It's like ice cream with bunch of fruit and other stuff in it.

After, we met our cute Ryoko's father. He was so very nice, I'm glad I got to meet him.

After we got to attend English class that the Elders teach. And I left early to have some girl time with my mom. Where we laughed a lot...
I love Japan. I love my Parents and I love the people in Japan.

10 Days of Japan-Day 8

DAY 8- MONKEY PARK & BUDDHIST TEMPLE

We left early for a long drive a little less than 4 hours to get to the Monkey Park. The Monkey park is really awesome in Japan. They all roam around you. Its not a zoo, the animals come to you and sometimes hiss at you. I've been there before and I was happy Micah and Paul really wanted to do it. It's so fun. 

After we went to a Buddhist Temple, it was an interesting thing. We learned a little more facts and we went through darkness referred to "Hold on to the Iron Rod"

.....

This cat had a sign on his neck that says
"Do not disturb the sleeping cat"
Best ever!
