Spring Break and Birthday Time

When we moved out here we planning on going to Utah twice a year, once in the summer and once at Christmas.  It just so happens that we ended up going to Utah every break this year.  Brady's grandpa Moss passed away and the funeral was the the Saturday of his Spring Break so we couldn't pass up a chance to honor and remember this great man. So after his test we drove the 3 hours the KC and hopped on the plane.

The funeral was incredible and was such a great tribute to a wonderful man.  He was always so kind and caring and the best member missionary you'll ever meet.  The thing will always remember most about Grandpa Moss is how much he loved his wife.  She passed away before I met Brady but whenever he talked about her, big tears would well up in his eyes. I can't imagine a sweeter reunion.

The rest of the week we spent with family and celebrating Brady's birthday.  We went to Syracuse Fun Place and played endless games of lazer tag, mini golf, arcade games and went bowling.  We had some delicious mexican food afterwards and he got spoiled to death with presents!

We were also able to meet baby Eli, who was born just a couple weeks before on March 4th and it was so fun to spend time with him! All of our nieces and nephews grow up so much while we are gone that we just can't get enough of them while we are there!

When Brady's real birthday came around, it was in the middle of a terribly hectic week.  So we celebrated by eating his favorite enchiladas, opening presents and enjoying some Wal-Mart made gooey butter cake (it was so crazy I didn't even make his cake!).  He was sent some incredible presents and was very surprised by his new printer.  I don't know if I have ever seen him so excited about a present... you must be a student if a printer gets you that excited. The next week we went and saw Captain America as a belated birthday present so we got enough celebrating in!
