HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKELLE!!!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE PRINCESS!!! Well she is not so little anymore! Although her birthday is technically not until next Friday the 27th, we are celebrating it early due to the fact that we are moving next weekend. What would we do without our Mikelley. She brings so much laughter in our home. She is one of those people that are naturally funny. She is a huge help and often does little surprises for me. She is a people person and makes friends in 2 seconds every where she goes. She is a girly girl and it cracks me up. Every morning when she wakes up she immediately goes into the bathroom and brushes her hair to make sure it is not sticking up. The other day Steven took the kids for a ride in the back of his truck and when they came home I caught Mikelle looking through the back windows fixing her hair. She keeps herself looking cute. Mikelle is a beautiful daughter. Our family would not be complete with out her!! We love you Mikelle! HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Fathers Day!!!


I know Fathers Day has come and gone but I couldn't go with out saying anything about the amazing dads in my life! First and most importantly is my my own hubby. If there is anything he is nearly perfect at it is being a father. He is so great with kids! How did I get so lucky. HE LOVES his kids more than anything and they LOVE HIM just the same!

Nobody could replace my own dad! He is such a great example to me. He is fun and goofy at times and I love that about him. He has always been a strength in my life and I am so glad he is my dad!!
I don't particularly consider Stevens dad my father-in-law because he is just like another dad to me! He treats me like his daughter and I couldn't be more grateful to have another dad like him.

I am so blessed with such great dads in my life!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

It was my moms birthday on Saturday. We were down visiting again because we got family pictures with everyone on my side of the family. It was fun to be there and celebrate my moms birthday! My mom is the greatest. I hope she knows how much I love and appreciate her. She always goes out of her way to do anything for me and my family. Thanks for being my mom and loving me through thick and thin! Hope you had a great Birthday and that you have a great 50th year! HA HA

A proud little sister

Well another school year has gone by way to fast. I can't believe my little Mikelley is going to be in 1st grade. She might be ready but I am definitely not. She has grown so much this last year. One of my favorite things about being a mom is watching my kids develop and grow into their own person. Mikelle is one of a kind and I am so proud of her!

Memorial Day Fun















It was a perfect week/weekend to go visit family. My brother was graduating, John and Jessica were down visiting and Memorial Day happened to fall that weekend. I was the lucky one who went down a few days early KIDLESS while Steven stayed with the kids so that I could have a little time to myself. It was wonderful. I went to lunch with friends, went shopping with my mom, went to all the restaurants I have been craving, and most importantly didn't have to answer to anyone but myself. It was a much needed breather! Our visit was a lot of fun. Memorial Day was a blast! Lot's of good food and great company. The kids had a a great time on the giant slip n slide thanks to uncle Robert. Don't you just love the Holiday weekends!

Having Fun with Cousins





Katon trying out field skiing

It was so much fun seeing John and Jessica and their kids while we were down. We hadn't seen their family for a year and a half. My kids were having the time of their lives playing with Nate and Brad 24/7. This activity was a lot of fun. The kids ran around forever playing in this field of water. We sure miss their family!

JD GRADUATES


I can't believe my little brother graduated. His graduation was one for the books. It rained all day and all night. Mesa High decided to move the graduation inside which was too bad because they had to split up the Senior class into two different places. It was nice though that we didn't have to sit out in the pouring rain during the ceremony. Every graduating student was given two tickets to give to parents to come to the graduation. Somehow my brother got four tickets and so my sister Kristy and I were able to go. When the ceremonies were over they had all the students meet in the courtyard to sing Carry On and throw up their caps together as a class. It was an adventure standing out in the freezing rain trying to take pictures. Needless to say however it all went down JD graduated and I couldn't be more proud. My brother is such a stud and has such a promising future ahead of him. We Love You JD!!!
