Happy Birthday Colby (a few days early)

Colby's 7th birthday is a week from tomorrow and we went for our 2nd annual Salt Lake birthday trip. We stayed at the Embassy Suites - they have a great breakfast buffet in the morning, Colby thinks it is the best ever - especially their sausage.
We swam, ate sushi (Colby ate squid, caviar, raw tuna and anything else we ordered - this from the kid who won't eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, little bugger). We saw Transformers 2 (Colby and Luke's second time around) AND Colby got a present every hour starting at 1pm and going until 10pm. Now don't get your panties in a bind about the present every hour thing - the presents consisted of packs of gum, school shoes, a book, a card game, Transformer toys (of course) and a few other small random things - it is the every hour thing that has Colby bouncing out of his skin. Very fun weekend, very very tiring weekend.


The birthday boy.


Sushi. Mmmm - raw fish. I did not partake of anything from the sea, instead I enjoyed some of the best onion rings I have ever had.




This is the Megatron salute. Very scary.

Does this need any explanation?




Lola spent the night with our friend Starr. Starr has 5 dogs and 3 kids - needless to say Lola is a bit worn out. She could barely lumber in the door and collapse in her favorite chair, she was SOOO tired!

what an awesome birthday treat! i remember the time Luke suckered me into buying some monster toy at the dollar store and then left me to labor over the complicated construction of it for 5 hours. sheesh. toys are way too hard these days.
