56!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I am 56 today...it was a great birthday, heard from all my kiddos, had lots of birthday wishes via facebook, and Chad took me to breakfast (it was fantastic), and he bought me the coolest Nike flip flops and the perfect red purse (red is my fav color)! Then we rented a movie, I wanted to see and Chad did bbq for dinner...great day!! I love love love my family and friends!

Exciting times ahead...

I'm really excited to hold another newborn baby! Sarah will find out tomorrow what day exactly will be her delivery date...tentatively it is July 14th! Headed to Utah on July 6th and staying until August 3rd! We're so excited to meet the little fellow!
Bryler Graham Larsen is his name...(unless someone changes her mind when she sees him??) Doctor says Bryler is about 7lbs already, thinks this will be a big boy!

Family Time!

We had a great time with family the weekend of the 10th! Patti and Brent drove in from Utah on Thursday night and Gary came in from Idaho on Friday! We all gathered at Jim's cabin at Sun River and it was so very nice to spend time with them! We enjoyed each others company, had some great food, and worked out the family business...

Jim fixed everyone his Biltmore breakfast on Saturday morning and it was delicious! He did salmon with berries and polenta with salsa and a yummy berry breakfast drink that was all amazing! We had steaks on Saturday night with a couple salads I made, tabouli salad and an Italian pasta salad and dessert was a berry pie I made with blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and yes peaches!! I made a Banana Nut Ginger Bread that everyone loved and raved about, I love to cook especially when people like what I create!

The guys enjoyed kayaking and canoeing everyday of the weekend...Chad was really sore but was not about to let Jim show him up! Gary said he didn't mind who showed him up, he quit when he had enough! There was lots of talk about global warming...and not everyone was in agreement...but on the family business everyone was agreeable :)

It was so good to see all the brothers and sister..and enjoy visiting...what a wonderful family I am blessed to be a part of!!
