Happy Birthday times 3

Today is my Mothers birthday and my younger twin brothers birthdays also.

My mom is one of the most amazing people in my life she has taught me the importance of the gospel, to treat people kindly, and the most important lesson that my mother every taught me was the importance of family. My mom chose to stay home and take care of us kids and I'm grateful for that sacrifice. I loved having my mom home when I came home from school and for her always being at all of my school activities. I realize now being a mother that it took a lot of time out of my mothers day to do the things that she did for me and I'm grateful to have such a great Mom.

What's your Guess??????

I have my 3 month appointment on Tuesday. And they told me that it was possible to tell what the baby is this early on. My doctor does an ultrasound every appointment so I added a poll to the side of my blog so everyone can make their guesses. Hopefully they will be able to tell on Tuesday.

Happy Birthday

We wanted to wish our niece Emma a Happy Birthday. She is 8 today and is getting baptized on Sunday we are so proud of her and we wish that we could be there with her. We hope you have a great birthday.

James decided to have a camp out in the tent in the backyard with Jakob tonight. Jakob was so excited it made his night. Jakob told me that I could sleep inside because it was a boys night. (I wasn't to disappointed)

BBQ+ Bouncers+ Snow Cones+ Water Guns = FUN

We had James' summer work party on Friday. It was a lot of fun they organize the entire party around the kids they had bouncers,snow cones,popcorn,face painting and tons of toys for the boys to play with they were in heaven. My favorite part of the whole evening they had BBQ Ribs and chicken,potato salad and corn bread I was in heaven. Well the boys wore themselves out and fell asleep on the way home it was a great night.

Happy Birthdays

Today my Dad and my brother Seth celebrated their birthdays. We decided to have a surprise birthday party for my dad tonight he had no idea it was coming it made it so much fun to surprise my dad. My dad is one of the most amazing people in my life he has taught me the importance of the gospel, to treat others with respect, and the most important lesson I ever learned from him was to do what was right no matter what the consequence is that if you live your life honestly you will always be taken care of. Happy Birthday Dad.......


My brother Seth shares his birthday with my dad. He had to work tonight so my Mom, Brooks,Me,Jakob and Kaeden took some cupcakes and balloons to his work to surprise him when he saw us we started singing Happy Birthday he got so embarrassed. Seth is a really good brother he is always willing to help me when I need things done I can always count on Seth to be around when James and I need help moving he is a very hard worker and the boys love to play with their uncle because he is willing to rough house with them. Happy Birthday Seth.......

I also wanted to wish my Father-in-law a Happy fathers day. He is always so willing to let us come down and crash their place and eat all their food until their cupboards are bare. He also raised my great husband and for that I'm grateful.
We love you.

Pet by Accident

James was out re-roofing a house yesterday with my dad and this bird flew up and landed on the roof where my dad and James were working. So my dad brought it into the house it was so sweet and let you pet it and hold it. So James decided that we would keep it so Jakob and Kaeden have their first pet they decided to name it Roofie because James found him on the roof.

Anniversary and Birthday celebrations

James and I have been married for 7 years. We were married on June 7, 2001 I'm married to my best friend. I love you James.

Here's to more fun years ahead.


Today is also my niece, Gracie's Birthday she turned 3. Gracie is all girl she loves to wear dress up clothes and she will wear her dress up shoes everywhere. Happy birthday Gracie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday Celebrations

We celebrated Jakob and Kaedens birthday on Sunday. It's so much easier doing it together than trying to have two separate parties. Well we had a family birthday party this year and it was a lot of fun. The theme for the birthday was bugs. I made a bug cake for the boys when Jakob saw it he said mom we can't eat dirt.

The boys are very spoiled by their Grandpas, Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. They got so much for their birthday I'm still trying to find places for everything to go.


Jakob was so excited about his Spiderman costume and web shooter.

Kaeden loved all the puzzles that he got.

Uncle Nate and Aunt Kelsey got each of the boys their own real golf club just their size. The boys love to go miniature golfing so now they have their own golf club.

My family enjoying the party.

And of course towards the end of the party Spiderman made an appearance.

And defeated the mean cowboy. (Thanks Seth for role playing it made his night)
