Welcome home Nick!

My Nephew got home from his mission last night! Here we all are waiting for him to get off the plane. It was fun to go and wait for him to get off the plane. We're glad he's back and he had a good mission! :)Here he is Nick! He served in the Manchester, England mission
This is my sister Sue's family. She is just 18 months older than me.

Kirsten's Baby Shower

Yesterday we had Kirsten's baby shower. Her friend Megan threw it for her. It was a lot of fun, with yummy food and fun games. She got some really nice things also. Here she is modeling the "yarn around her tummy" we all made guesses. She is such a little pregnant woman. Just her tummy pops out. She is still in her size 7 pants and she has them buttoned up... Makes you sick!

With great grandma.

Her, friend, grandma and aunt, Bren and Lexie

The cake that Megan made. A stork on a boat... Very Cute!

Walking with a quater between her knees (like a pregnant woman having to go to the bathroom) then you drop the quater in a 2 liter bottle.

Jeff's Birthday

Today is Jeff's Birthday! Happy Birthday honey! Since I didn't mention "Happy Birthday" to him this morning until 10 am (I know awful huh? he gave me a really hard time)

I need to pay him a tribute! :) He is really the love of my life. He would do anything for me, like get up early to let the puppy out. (that says a lot since he didn't want her to begin with)He provides the balance our family needs. I'm the crazy ranting screaming woman, and he's the calm quiet one. He works really hard to provide for us. He is our family fix it man (he can fix anything) he is the family tutor (thank heavens for that, he really does know everything ) He is a really great dad! He has a great sense of humor and he has a story for everything. He is a great guy and we love him so much! We are going to celebrate his birthday Friday at the Suns game. Here is a picture of him opening his Suns tickets...

Happy New Year!

Well here we are at the beginning of a new year. I like this time of year. It's good to evaulate things and make new goals. It's always motivating! Today is my birthday too so it's even better to make new goals. I have a friend who has lost 68 pounds and she looks amazing. So I think if Erin can do that I can make a few goals and actually accomplish them!!! I've decided that I really have a problem with spending money. I have a hard time living on a budget. So that's one of my goals to live on a budget. I might even blog about it since that might help... I can do this! I can...

We had a nice Christmas with family and friends. Our friends the Sibleys came to town so we spent some really good time with them.

Here Cory is with Jake, Luke and his cousin Isaac. Here Chloe is with her friends she had a sleepover to celebrate her birthday. Ok let me just say it was a night full of drama... And I don't think I'll do that again... girls......
