Brett and Sariah: Brett's week-long birthday bash

              It all started the Sunday before Brett's birthday, I surprised Brett with Easter baskets full of candy-filled eggs and seed packets for our garden. We decided to plant them on the following Saturday, for his birthday.
              We woke up Saturday morning to 6 inches of snow (on the 30th of April). I fixed Brett a breakfast of Dutch Babies (German pancakes). And then started working on a four layer cake for later. The snow was frustrating, however, Brett was determined so after breakfast he went out in the snow to shovel the dirt and prepare it for planting our seeds. Luck was on our side for his birthday, the sun came out later and by the afternoon all the snow was melted. I joined him out in the yard and we planted carrots, beets, lettuce, arugula (not sure what this is), cucumbers, beans (purple and green), zucchini, and some flowers. We're excited to see what comes up, and we're hoping it wasn't too early to plant.
              That night we went to the dollar theater to see Gnomio and Juliet. Which turned out to be one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. But it was fun to be there with Brett.
              Early on Saturday, I asked Brett what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he said, "a million dollar cake." So I created a 4-layer masterpiece, complete with two layers of devils food cake, two layers of marble cake, and chocolate mouse butter cream filling (I forgot to take a picture). On Sunday, we had our friends Landon and Cassie Romney and McKenzie and Nate Cerny over to help us eat our "million dollar cake." It was delicious and totally worth the effort.
              On Thursday we went to the zoo! This is something we've been wanting to do since Brett's birthday last year! It was amazing!

A true BYU Cougar! and a regular cougar.

My favorite animal at the zoo. The elephants has the most amazing watering hole that I have ever seen! It had jets! And various levels so the elephants could wade in the water or swim. The water was crystal clear and so blue! I wanted to jump in there with the elephants.
