It was the Peterson week in McCall at the Timeshare Condos and Kefford and I decided to go this year. It was originally supposed to be just Kefford, Me and Rylee but we told Rylee she could invite a friend and she invited Shay. Then Ryker told us he wanted to drive up to go to McCall with us and then he invited Anna so we ended up with a lot more then we originally thought. Alison put us in the Condo with her and Bob which was perfect when it was just the three of us but adding 3 more last minute put a bit of a strain on our sleeping situations. It all worked out and we were happy to go up Thursday evening. Ryker, Anna and I rode up with Bob and Alison after their Temple shift while Kefford, Rylee and Shay rode up together after Kefford was done with work. We only ended up being about 15 minutes ahead of them which was funny because I was hoping that going with Bob and Alison meant we would get there a lot sooner.
Friday was Ryker and my Birthday and I got birthday messages from lots of friends and family and felt thought of and loved. Allie and Leah sent me a picture with their message which was super sweet, I love these girls!
Isabelle sent me a picture with the personalized engraved cup I gave her for her graduation. She said she was unpacking some of her college kitchen stuff, found it, and thought of me.
Avynlea posted a Birthday message for Ryker and I which was really sweet and made me miss her a lot!
My birthday was kept very low-key which was done intentionally on my part. I really do not like a lot of attention and so I told Kefford I did not want to open any presents while we were in McCall I was happy to save it for when we got back home on Sunday. I was happy to just celebrate Ryker as well as Garrett who shares our birthday. On Friday we went ice-skating which was a lot of fun. I was nervous about my ankles hurting because of the roller skating the previous week but I ice skated for about an hour and my ankles were fine.
Anna seemed a little nervous on the ice and Ryker was super sweet to skate around with her and help her. I got some pictures of them being cute together.
I skated with Kinsley for a little bit and she kept me entertained by talking and telling me all about everything.

Ryker requested cheesecake for his birthday cake and I bought one from Costco and brought along a can of strawberry topping and cherry topping for those who did not want just plain cheesecake. Michelle made cakes for Garretts birthday and Bob and Alison bought everyone pizza for lunch after which we sung to Garrett and everyone ate his cake. Bob bought a car from the bakery which we ate later that night with the cheesecake I bought for Ryker.
Ryker got to open his gifts which he was happy about, he got new Jordans, some model cars, a remote control drone, and sun-roc socks
I had been getting up at 6 every morning to go to the gym but when I got to the gym Saturday morning I saw that is was closed until 9. I was not thrilled about that but what can a girl do, I just went back to our condo and sat around and waited for a couple of hours. When I was able to go back Kefford and Ryker went with me so they could play basketball with Bailey, Jeremy, Andrew and Kelsey. I was able to see them play while I was on the treadmill while Rylee and Anna sat inside next to the court and watched. Rylee was good to get a few pictures for me.
Tyler lost his mail in ballot and was not able to vote for the election because he lives in Utah but still has his Nevada drivers license. Voting was super important to Tyler and so he and Kenedy drove from Salt Lake to Nevada just so he could cast his vote for who he wanted as President which was Donald Trump. Nevada was a swing state that we had to wait a couple of days for to find out which way they ended up going and when I saw that Nevada swung right I was super happy. I took a screenshot of the information and sent it to our Family group chat letting Tyler know his vote made a difference. It was definitely because of him that Nevada was won by Trump ;)
