I am a little late on one birthday.. and right on time for another... So first off I will start off with the late one. I am so sorry Danielle. I didn't forget about your birthday I just forgot to blog about it. I hope you had a wonderful birthday even though you were moving.. I am so thankful to have you as a sister in law. You are not an in law to me, just a sister. You are such a kind and loving person. Thank you so much for all that you do for me and for giving me such wonderful nieces and nephews. I am so lucky to have them and you in my life. Again I hope you had a Happy Birthday!!! I love you


Now to my oldest brother... How the years have gone by... I have definitely enjoyed every year I have had so spend with you. Thank you for all that you do for me. I hope you have a great Birthday... I am sure it is not going to be as great as you would like since you are away from your family and in school but I hope you make the best of it. I love you so much and am so lucky to have you as my brother. I have been watching a lot of our home videos lately and wow have we changed.... It's a good thing too. We looked like dorks sometimes... I love you though and hope you know that. I miss you guys so much and can't wait to see you soon. Happy Birthday!!!!



in need of an update..

I have been a total slacker on my blog lately. It's not that I don't have anything to blog about, I just have not been wanting to blog. I guess it has been long enough and I have so many pictures I have not posted.

I will first start off on the pictures from when I went to Gilbert for Aimee's baptism. I always take so many pictures when i am with the kids. In no order I will put some on here. We had such a great time and the baptism was amazing. I am so thankful that I was able to go down for that wonderful day. I felt to privileged that Aimee asked me to speak at her baptism. I am not going to lie I was scared to death. Unfortunately I did not take after my father when it comes to speaking in front of people. I however, did take after my mother and shake the whole time I am talking and probably talk way to fast to where no one even knows what I am saying. The upside of that, I get done quicker and can sit down. But, I was so happy to be able to speak for her. It was such and amazing day. The weekend was great. I took a lot of pictures of the kids.

Ella and her Blue blue eyes. How can you ever say no to them?
Adalyn and Ella..
Carter
Hayden loving pictures being taken of him..

Adalyn, Hayden, Carter, Ella, and Kane. after this picture was taken, Ella would keep going behind Kane and holding him to take another picture. It was the cutest thing. You can see that picture in the slide show.. (which the slide show I am working on)

One year older!!!!

Happy Birthday big brother... I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Thank you for being such a great brother to me. I really appreciate all you do for me. I am so thankful I got to spend some time with you a couple weeks ago. I wish I could have been there with you for your birthday like you were here with me for mine. I love you so much and hope you have a wonderful day... Love ya Nolen. your little sister....

Chunky Monkey Weekend!!!

This past weekend was such a wonderful weekend. Nolen and Aimee came up to see me and go to conference. They got in around 5:30 On Friday night. It was so good to see them. I couldn't believe how much Kane had grown since Christmas. We started off by going to Winger's for dinner. It was so yummy. When the waitress came to bring us our food, she sat the plates down and we started moving things around to make room to eat. By the time we turned around Kane had grabbed one of my wings and decided to enjoy it for himself. We didn't get a picture of it since I instantly thought of taking it away before he burned his little mouth. We did however re-inact it so we could get a picture of it. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera but, Aimee did so she got a picture of it.

Saturday we woke up early and drove to Salt Lake. Nolen and Aimee had tickets to the afternoon conference session so I took chunky monkey and headed to Butch and Dortie's house. That night I met back up with Nolen and Aimee at Five All's!!!! It was YUMMY.... Nolen wanted to take me there for my birthday. Thank you so much Nolen and Aimee. You guys are so amazing and I love you so much. That night I took Kane with me and went back to Butch and Dortie's and spent the night there... Sunday I just hung out with the little guy and then headed back to Cedar with him for the night. It was so much fun being able to have Kane for the weekend. he is such a good and happy baby. Monday morning was my birthday!!! It was good to wake up with little man with me. He had the biggest smile for me the morning of my Birthday. It was such a great site to wake up to. We went for a little walk while we waited for Nolen and Aimee to come and get him on their way home. They left around 1 and then I went to lunch with some friends. That night I had my bowling league and they threw me a party there. It was such a great birthday weekend. Thank you so much Nolen and Aimee for making such a wonderful weekend. I love you guys so much. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed seeing you guys and how thankful I am for you guys. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did.
