A day that will live infamously.......

Well today is a very special day......its Marshall's birthday! Here is a shout out to the one and only Marshman! Woot woot! I was thinking of a fun memory of Marshall and this one floated into my mind.

It was a beautiful summer day. I had just come inside after picking wild flowers from the garden to give to mom to show her how much I loved her when I heard someone playing the piano. Who could it be? To my surprise it was Marshall! I hadn't seen/spent time with him in so long so I decided to see if he would play with me. What a great day it had been so far, what could possibly go wrong? I skipped over to him and politely asked "Dearest brother, wont you play with me???" I waited in anticipation for his answer when suddenly he leaned forward. My mind was curious to what was happening, but it could never have imagined the horror of what was to come. Suddenly a huge enormous long blue basket was being hurled at an intense speed directly at my head! I had no time to react! In just mere seconds it hit its target and I was down. I tried to crawl away but it was pointless. The blue basket had been thrown. I repeat........the blue basket had been thrown.

I can't remember what happened after that. Perhaps the basket hitting my head is the reason for that or maybe my brain erased my memory to protect itself. Either way, it happened! On that note....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope this fun message brings back lots of happy memory's we've had together! hehe! Love you Marsh :)


Are you confused why I posted this picture??? Well, obviously I didn't have time to take a picture of Marshall heaving a basket at me so I figured that this one would at least prove that he has some sort of crazy obsession with baskets..........even if it is an easter basket ;)...........(I bet he threw whats in his hand at the person taking this picture) Happy birthday!!!

McDonald Family Date Nights!

So, just this Wednesday I took my mia maids to the frisbee golf course on Murray-Holladay Road and it brought back the fun times we had on what appears to have been our last official McDonald Family Date Night. I only had three frisbees to share among my girls since I vaguely remember someone losing one on the date night in the river. Good times.

For the month of September, I thought it would be fun to put down some of our favorite MFDN memories. Now that Nancy is officially on board and no longer in the dark, apparently all of our back-and-forth trying to create a list of all the date nights was in vain... the master planner had kept track all these years and you will see the list on the sidebar under family vacations. Feel free to take a gander and see if any of them spark a particular memory.

The MFDN I remember best was the one Marshall and I organized: dinner at Costa Vida and paintballing at Paintball Planet. I remember wishing I was way cooler than I looked ... I was much better off chatting with the ladies (including preggo Morgan!) in the gallery.

But the most fun part for me, aside from watching the guys re-enact their favorite childhood GI Joe cartoon scenes, was creating the intro video that we left on everyone's doorstep:
