Melinda had her birthday while we were down there but we had a wedding to go to, so we celebrated it on Friday. Alma coordinated an all day gift where friends and family came throughout the day to give her small gifts that had something to do with 30. Like "30 rocks" and gave her 30 rock candy. I printed a tree and when people came over they put their thumb in ink and stamped their thump print on it to look like a leaf. It was very sweet all day. Than that night Tyler, Melinda, Spencer and I went out to dinner while people gathered at the house for a Surprise. It was a great night and so many people love this woman. She is amazing and I look to her for so many things. I feel so blessed to have her in my life and I feel so close to her. I love her so much and feel like she IS my sister.

I took this pic while everyone was sitting down eating, feeling so grateful for this fantastic family. I was full of love for them and wanted to capture the chaos, wonderful chaos, during dinner time.

Melinda had a ticket for Disney on Ice so Clay and I went. It was fun to see the girls faces each time a new character came out. I thought Clay would really like it also but he was a grump the whole time. He didn't want anyone to talk to him. I think he was just tired from the days before.

This is the first of many post about our trip to California. We bought passes to Disneyland so we went a few times. The kids loved it, we had so much fun. Melinda and Jordyn and Paytin came with us for part of the time.
