May is always a busy month. After our trip to Vegas we celebrated Mother's Day, David's Mom's birthday, and David's birthday! Also, our house finally dug in the month of May! I am still getting used to the new blogger and have no idea why my photos uploaded in this random order. Rather than moving them around, I will just go with it.
Here we are at Color Me Mine. We went right around David's birthday (which happens to also be Scott and Angela's anniversary). It was really fun! David had never been, but he really enjoyed himself. Scott and Angela were pros and made the cutest cups! Here we are with our bowls - ready to have them fired in the kiln.
In case you hadn't noticed, David and I love to eat out. We love trying new restaurants and trying new fancy dishes. For David's birthday, I surprised him with dinner at the Tree Room in Sundance. It was amazing. I highly recommend it. But be ready to pay - it was probably our most expensive dinner - but so worth it. For our first appetizer, we had the rabbit. It was delicious.
Then we had a carrot soup with crab on top. I don't even like carrots and this soup was amazing.
The Tree Room is known for their pepper steak with mango chutney, so I ordered that. It was delicious as well.
David ordered the chef's special - the duck with fingerling potatoes in a blackberry reduction sauce. It was amazing.
David sure thought so!!
For dessert, we had their version of a root beer float. It was so good and very fancy for such a simple dessert. It had layers of root beer flavored ice cream, chocolate, and root beer - with two chocolate straws and cream on top!
Springtime in Utah is so gorgeous. It was absolutely beautiful in the mountains!
Here is our foundation!
At the end of the month, David's little sister got a new kitty. She named her Kleo. Yes I do still hate animals, but she is so cute and little. I couldn't help myself taking pictures. Sorry - they are iPhone pics and not the best quality.
She fell asleep on David's shoulder like this. She loves David because he play fights with her. I am too chicken for that - she has sharp little claws!
This was spotted out by our new house. Apparently someone in the neighborhood used to own peacocks and then moved and left them all. Some of the neighbors shot a bunch of them, but one neighbor keeps feeding them so they hang out there. Apparently they climb and poop on anything.
How precious is the kitty!!
House all framed! This was a week ago. The roof is already up now and almost all the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are in! We are currently ahead of schedule and the home will be finished August 2nd.
Told you the pics uploaded weird. Here was the original hole. My neighbors to the left were really mad. That grass is their property line. The hole literally dropped off right at the property line - oops.
Birthday celebrations! Here is David's mom opening birthday presents.
What a cute boy!
David's actual birthday was a Saturday so we decided to have a barbeque with ribs, teriyaki chicken, fruit salad, potato salad, and garlic bread. It was yummy! We invited the Himes and David and Kelsi over.
His birthday cupcake! We gave David's mom a mini cupcake pan for Mother's Day and she made cupcakes for David's birthday. They were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had - lemon cupcakes with Paula Deen's cream cheese frosting and a blueberry to top it off. Here secret ingredient is to puree a can of white beans in the cupcakes.
David in his sweet new hat! He loves USC so I worked my magic and hooked us up with tickets to the Utah vs USC football game this fall. I figured he needed a hat and shirt to wear to the game!
Happy 28th Birthday David!
