Birthdays . . .

Wow what a crazy few months it has been! I am finally getting some what caught up on the past few months. Ever since March we have celebrated a birthday in our family and it has been so much fun! Six birthdays within four months can be a bit overwhelming. We have had a great summer with the kids and Kevin and I have done a lot of fun things together.
Wow, my Savannah smiles daughter is 7 years old! She turned 7 on April 2nd. I can't believe that next year she'll be 8! For Savannah's birthday this year she really wanted to get her nails done with her best friend Hannah! They were both sooo excited. Our cute friend Cami Watson did their nails and they turned out soo cute! Savannah got some really fun birthday presents and we all ad a fun time celebrating with her! We love you Savannah!
It was my birthday on April 14th. I can't believe that I am 38! It's crazy! Kevin and the kids woke me up and spoiled me again with fun gifts, and an amazing breakfast. Just a few days before my birthday we were all in St. George celebrating Easter and now we are celebrating "ME." It was a wonderful day! Beautiful Birthday flowers from my sweetheart Kevin, that i love and adore! We have soo much fun together. My kids wrote me such nice, cute messages for my birthday! Allison did something extra amazing. She spent over an hour writing "38" things that she loves about me! Too cute! It made me cry! I am sooo grateful to be a mom to such sweet kids, and an awesome husband who loves and adores me! I love you all! Thanks again!

Allie turned 10 yrs. old on May 9th. Ten years ago on May 9, 1999 Kevin and I were soo blessed with our second beaufiul dark haired, dark eyed little girl! Alli was born on Mother's Day at 10:45 A.M. in Louisville Kentucky. Allison has been such a joy to have in mine and her daddys lives! Alli is a quiet, happy, sensitive, friendly and loving daughter. She is always looking out for others. This year for her birthday she wanted to have her cute friends over to our house for a fun birthday party. We played lots of fun games, made cute flower pens and flower pots (these were a real hit with the girls.) We ate cake and ice cream and opened lots of presents.

Happy 38th Birthday to my handsome and awesome husband! His birthday was May 15th. For Kevin's birthday, I arranged for my mom and dad to watch the kids, while Kevin and I stayed for 2 days and one night in one of our favorite getaway spots. . . .Park City! We went shopping, ate at the Baja Mexican Cantina (sooo good!), breakfast on Main Street in Park City, and then went to Salt Lake City to see a new movie release, ate some more, hung out and laughed, and best of all, we got to spend some great quality time with each other! We have grown sooo much closer these past few years. We have been through a lot of ups and downs together. But it has strengthened us as husband and wife, father and mother, and greatest of all BEST FRIENDS!!! We will be Eternal Partners for the eternities! I love you Kevin!!
Happy 4th Birthday to my little buddy Luke! He turned 4 years old on June 13th! You are sooo full of life, and I love to watch you everyday with the cute and funny things that you do! Luke wanted a pirate birthday cake, and lots of fun boy presents. He got a cute red plasma car, and Thomas the Train train set (he absolutely loves trains!) He got cute baseball hats, cute new pajamas and clothes, a new cars umbrella, he loves to stand out in the rain with different umbrellas. Its so cute!! The night of his party we had the cousins and Grandma and Grandpas over to celebrate the "BIG 4." What a fun night we had! We love you Luke! Happy Birthday Bud!

St. Patrick's Day . . .

Allie and Whitney eating green waffles Savannah loved her st. patricks day note from mom Green eggs and waffles ... yummy! Cute little Luke . . . all dressed in green Kevin, Luke, and Jenny

St. Patrick's Day, I love this fun holiday! When I was a little girl my mom always made it a fun green day! She always made green pancakes and green eggs. So this year I did the same thing. The kids were way excited to wake up to green food. They weren't too sure if they wanted to eat the green eggs. I thought it was funny watching them try there green eggs. I also wrote each of them a love note to tell them how "lucky" I was to have them in my life. The kids all wore green and lucky for them they didn't get pinched. Even Kevin and I wore green. Luke and I went out to lunch with Kevin. We had a fun time spending a couple of hours together with each other. Hope you all had a Happy St. Patrick's Day! I sure did!

Whitney's Birthday . . .

The girls at Olive Garden Carly, Sierra, and Whitney Jade, Lindsey, and Lauren Jenny, Whitney and friends Me and Whitney Whitney and her crazy cute friends HELP Blowin kisses to the boys . . . At the movies Wow look at those ice cream sundaes Open Wide On our way to go toilet papering Jade so excited to "TP" On March 13th Whitney turned 14 yrs. old. I can't believe that she is only 2 yrs. away from driving and turning sixteen! Oh my goodness! I have reflected back to the day when our first daughter Whitney was born. What an exciting day for Kevin and I. I had always wanted to be a mom and my dream finally came true. Whitney was such a cute little baby! Fourteen years have flown by and it's hard to believe that she is now in 8th grade at Wahlquist Jr. High. Whitney has always been such a good and quiet girl. She has a lot of great friends. She is especially into boys . . . she's so funny! This year for her birthday she invited 5 of her good friends and I was able to go with her to celebrate her birthday at Olive Garden. It sure was yummy! It was fun listening to her and her friends talk about life and of course, boys. We laughed a lot! After dinner I took the girls to the movie "Confessions Of A Shopaholic." It was a cute show. Then we came back to our house and made hot fudge sundaes. Then at 11:45 PM we decided to go toilet papering. The girls couldn't believe that I would take them toilet papering, they said they're mom's would never let them do that. It brought back memories of when I used to go toilet papering when I was younger. The girls toilet papered 3 houses and got caught at 2 of the houses. It was so dang funny!! We got home around 1:00 AM and I was ready to crash. The girls stayed up and talked and finally went to bed around 3:30 AM. Whitney had a really fun birthday! I Love You Whitney! Love, Mom.

Wolf Mountain . . .



A couple weeks ago we took the kids up to Wolf Mountain to learn how to ski and snowboard. They had so much fun! Allie and Savannah learned how to Ski and Whitney and her friend Sierra learned how to Snowboard. They all took lessons and did an excellent job! They fell a couple of times but for the most part they did pretty good! Good Job GIRLS!!!
