Random pics and Birthday Celebration

 We noticed a pigeon nesting in our backyard tree.  There are big pests here and the neighbors were telling us that you can shoot and kill them with bebe guns here. But that just seemed so cruel (especially being pregnant).  So we let the mama bird do her thing and after a month those birds were already full grown and flying over our house and pooping all over it.

There is nothing better than my grandma starkey's recipe for strawberry pie! 

 Some friends int he ward have tons of chicken, geese and turkeys and we have started getting eggs from them each week.  They are so fun and colorful.

The boys have gotten into this new tradition--and they will not let me change it back, That on your birthday--you MUST open your presents first thing in the morning. When I got out of bed, they were so excited to have me open the gifts right away.

Peter drove home from Phoenix fro the day to surprise me.  A friend took me out to lunch so I wouldn't be lonely on my birthday and I came home to this cutie.
