My birthday was Sunday the 10th. since it was a Sunday we didn't do anything crazy or too active but we had a wonderful day at church and then had some friends over for cake and ice cream. my good friend Ashley brought angel food cakes, strawberries, and homemade whipped cream and it was amazing!!!! so i took this picture so my mom could see her girl on her birthday, after all i owe her my life. so thanks mom for getting me here 22 years ago. i love ya. and thanks Joe for the wonderful birthday i love spending them with you and always will. Jayne our neighbors little baby girl was there too and at one point we looked over and she had her finger right on her nose so it looked like she was picking her nose. it was sooo funny!!! and she is adorable so i had to post the picture for all to enjoy.

IM GONNA BE 22!!!


Red Robin gives you a free burger when you join their email club so before henry and kate left for the summer we all went to eat and celebrate me getting older. not like getting old is fun but eating out is. it was also a special supper for henry and joe as they had both finished school for the semester and it always feels amazing to be done with classes and homework for a while. so enjoy the pics

BLESSING WE ENJOY

JOSEPH AND I HAVE RECENTLY REALIZED WE HAVE SO MANY BLESSINGS THAT WE HAVE GOT TO BE SOME OF THE LUCKIEST FOLKS IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE EACH OTHER FOR ALL TIME, WE WERE BOTH RAISED IN HOMES FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER, WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL HOME WITH SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS LIVING ABOVE US, WE ARE ABLE TO ATTEND ONE OF THE LORD'S UNIVERSITIES , FAMILY SURROUNDS AND UPLIFTS US DAILY, AND WE HAVE THE BLESSED ASSURANCE OF THE TRUTHFULLNESS OF THE GOSPEL AND THE SHARED BLESSING OF THE ATONMENT. WE SURELY HOPE OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE THEM AND HOW APPRECIATIVE WE ARE TO THEM ALL.

I THOUGHT OF THIS WHEN I HAD MY ONE AND ONLY NECKLACE THAT WAS A GIFT TO ME FROM MY AUNT BREAK AND I THOUGHT HOW FOOLISH I WAS TO NOT TREAT IT WITH THE CARE AND CAREFULNESS IT DESERVES AND I WANT TO BE SURE MY OTHER GIFTS IN LIFE ARE NOT BROKEN LIKE MY BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE WAS. NOW I JUST HOPE I CAN BUY A NEW CHAIN FOR IT AND WEAR IT AGAIN. LOL MY NECK FEELS EMPTY AND ALL MY SHIRTS DONT LOOK AS GOOD WITHOUT IT.


P.S. HERE ARE SOME FUN PICS WE FOUND THE OTHER DAY

JUST BEFORE HIRAM LEFT ON HIS MISSION WE GOT TO SEE HIM. AND HE GOT TO SEE THE FARM WE LIVED ON. IT WAS FUN


I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED A HUSBAND WHO COULD PICK ME UP AND CARRY ME AROUND AFTER A LONG DAY OF RIDING ROLLER COASTERS. HA HA THIS WAS IN CALIFORNIA'S GREAT AMERICA. WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY AND IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE JOE CARRY ME ON HIS BACK A LITTLE SINCE RIDING RIDES CAN BE EXHAUSTING.
