The big 42!

Happy 42nd to my wonderful Mommy!

I can't believe my mom is 42!
A few things I love about my mom...
She is my best girlfriend
She can read my mind
I can always rely on her for advice, and she isn't offended if I don't take it.
She enjoys growing older and wiser
She is not vain
She loves my kids
She is always just a phone call away
I can trust her
She keeps secrets
She is frugal
She is spiritual (and encourages me to be)
She gets smarter the older I get

I love you Mom!

(Sorry the pic isn't that great, it's from my phone because I forgot my camera)

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear

Boky's Third Bday

Yes it's official, I'm the mom of a THREE year old!
Brooklyn's Birthday was November 7th. We had an extremely small get together with her grandparents and most of her aunts. She loved being the center of attention and had a very Happy Birthday!

Here are a few pictures and then a little slideshow :O)

Mark's Birthday Celebration...

A week before Mark's birthday we went up to visit and had a blast! They took us to the Tautphaus Zoo in Idaho Falls. I was expecting a small scale petting zoo but it was actually like a "real zoo." They had lions, a tiger, and a cloth bear, Oh my!!! It was really fun for Brooklyn.

My lovely Zach made this picture interesting...

Brooklyn and Grandpa Mark...

The penguins!

Miss Tessa. She stayed in her seat/stroller for about half the time we were there and the rest of the time Grandma Tammy and I took turns holding her. It was a warm day so it was hard to want to carry a mini heater around.

Lions!!

One of the Sloth Bears.
They were really hungry and wanted food so I was lucky to get this picture because right after they went in the corner where they usually get food.

The TIGER!! He didn't want to come out and play.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We had yummy banana splits for dessert and instead of birthday cake. You can tell by Zach's lovely picture how delicious they were!

September 12th, 2010

Esi turned 2!!!!
We had a little get together at Grandma and Grandpa's house to celebrate. These are a few pictures from that day...

Zach's Birthday

Better late than never, right? Zach turned 23 on the 24th of July. It was a different kind of birthday for us, very low key. We didn't do much but hang out together. It was a nice day. He didn't want a cake and opted for apple pie instead, totally fine with me and Brooklyn :)

Thanks to everyone who wished him a happy Birthday and to both of our parents for making/taking us to dinner.

Flowers...

I never posted pictures of my B-E-A-utiful, BEAUTIFUL flowers I got for my 23rd birthday! Thank you to Mom, Dad, Jamie, and Jade-o! They even lasted close to 3 weeks! I love getting surprise flowers :O)

Happy Birthday to me!

It's official I'm 23! Funny how I forget how old I am, I guess it's because it's not important until I get into my 70's, right? I had a fabulous birthday. Zach was able to get the day off and it was so nice. We didn't really plan anything we just did what we wanted when we wanted. We started the day off in Ogden shopping, came home and played outside, and ended the day roasting hot dogs over the fire and eating birthday cake (the best kind ever, chocolate with pudding and whip cream instead of frosting).

We are best friends, let's hope she still thinks that in a few years.

This is what she calls baseball. It's a good game, however I can't aim and I hit her in the tummy and she said "owie, mom you hit my baby sister!" Lol, funny how she thinks she has a baby in her tummy too.

This is my wonderful hubby. We have to take down the awning because it broke this winter with all the snow on top of it. He was working on it while Brooklyn and I enjoyed the sun.

This picture makes me laugh. When we were shopping she HAD to have a "brella." We couldn't find a cheap kid one, of course, so we had to buy her a big one.

Another "Brella" picture.

The three (or shall I say four) of us together.

Blowing out the candles and making my wish!

Opening presents, with the assistance of my favorite 2 year old. Zach got me a new camera (yay), did you notice the difference in the quality of pictures?
