IT'S A GREAT DAY TO CELEBRATE

two more birthdays.  This awesome father and son duo, Michael and Michael, or otherwise known as Michael Squared, are celebrating their birthdays today.

These two superman loving blokes had a fun family celebration last night.  The backyard bbq was full of fun and laughter, loads of food, cards, presents and birthday wishes being made over pie and cupcakes.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL SQUARED!

WE LOVE YOU TWO!!

THE ROAD TRIP WITH MY FATHER AND BROTHER WAS

a lot of fun.
We had some deep discussions, reminiscing, some tears, a lot of laughter and a few adventures along the way to Utah and back home.

On the way home we saw some beautiful wide open spaces filled with crisp, white snow.  We pulled along the roadside and took pictures.  We have a few pictures of me taking a picture of Michael, who is taking a picture of dad, who is taking a picture of the snow.  We got the giggles and thought this was hilarious.

Utah is beautiful in the winter.

We stopped by Snake River in Idaho

We had also stopped in at Burley, Idaho hoping to find the house my grandfather was born in but the two addresses we had don't exist.  Man was our bubble burst.  We have some investigating to do there.

Dad and Mike begrudgingly went along with me wanting posed snuggling pictures.  I thought this was HILARIOUS but they didn't find it as funny as me.

We also stopped at Shoshone Falls, which is gorgeous!

I'd LOVE to go there in the spring when the water is heavy and raging.  I've added this little excursion to things I want my man clan to see.  It's absolutely beautiful.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY TO

celebrate my brother's birthday.

I'm 8 and Michael is 2

The coolest part of Michael's birthday, is that his son, Michael Jr, was born on the same day.  Seriously how cool is that?  We are having a double celebration tonight for the birthday boys.  So if you have a chance to have cake today, have two and celebrate the birthdays of Michael x 2.
