Happy Birthday Eileen!

We'd like to wish Aunt Eileen a Happy 50th Birthday. Over Easter weekend we were able to attend her 50th B-Day bash at the Wilkenson Center at BYU. It was essentially a mini-family reunion and it was great to see everyone there.

I think we all feel blessed to have "Queen" Eileen in our lives. For those of you who don't know her, she is a happy soul with an infectious laugh. In fact, she even manages to make us laugh on the rare occasions when she displays her stubborn, grumpy streak.

In addition to her ability to bring a smile to our faces Eileen has numerous other talents. She can out-bowl Jen (she even used her patented granny-style technique to bowl a 110 and win the gold in the Utah Summer Games this year), she has an incredible memory for music, and she always remembers her family members' birthdays. Then there are her killer dance moves--check her out during this song that Jen, Steve and KT performed to honor her "Eileenisms" and to exploit the humor in the only swear word she ever says.

YOU WERE IN PROVO?!?? And you didn't tell us? Sad. :) Just kidding, we understand. Jen, you look fabulous. And your sweet aunt is a hoot. We hope you had a fun time!
