We just returned from a visit down south for Bethany's ballet recital as well as Jan's and Stefanie's birthdays. Jan turns 30 today, and Stefanie will be 27 on the 20th. Stefanie, who recently acquired a set of cake decorating supplies, went to a friend's house for instructions on cake decorating, then produced this beautiful cake for Jan. Our whirlwind trip included a visit to Zion National Park, where the cottonwood trees made us feel as if we were in a snowstorm on a hot day. Rebekah was fascinated by it all! I couldn't think of anything better to do while riding in the Ure's 15 passenger van, than snap pictures of my happy newest grandchild, Isaac. The ballet recital was later in the afternoon, followed by a celebratory dinner of Potato Leek Soup, green salad and James' delicious artisan bread. After looking at and smelling and drooling over the beautiful birthday cake throughout dinner the time had finally arrived for singing and cake. Visiting followed with the usual dress ups for Jane and Beth, then a good night's sleep topped it all off. Steve and I promptly returned home Sunday morning to accompany Jon to receive his patriarchal blessing.

Sheesh, riding the Ure's 15-passenger van sounds like reason enough for a trip down there!
That cake is amazing!
Thanks for posting the fun pictures, Mom! I couldn't wait to see a picture of the cake again. After admiring it for a day or so, I have missed it since it was devoured last night. It was a pretty cake.
And a grand time was had by all!
