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.......

"A new Addition" and "One on the way"

We are now the proud owners of a Honda Odyssey. I love it I don't know why it took us this long to get one I love the automatic doors, the DVD player, and most of all the space.

We are also Expecting a "BABY" February 13th. We are so excited. And I still have a long way to go.

Happy Father's Day

I wanted to wish my Dad a Happy Fathers day. I love my dad he always made sure that us kids had what we needed before he took care of himself. He also taught me to work hard. My dad also took us on some fun and crazy vacations every summer. Those are memories I will never forget.

I also wanted to tell James how much I love him and appreciate all that he does for our family. He is a great dad and loves his boys. He works really hard and never complains. One thing that he always tells me is that if I'm happy that's all that matters. I love you James.....

The boys and me got him some stuff for Fathers day.
Some new shorts:

A carrying case for his Ipod so he can take it running:

A new book:

New Sunglasses:

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)

Recap of Memorial weekend

We spent Memorial weekend in Southern Utah with James' family. We had a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. We decided to go for a little hike on Saturday.


On Sunday Grandpa V. took us on a hike to see some Dinosaur Tracks. The scenery was amazing.





Sunday night we celebrated Jakob's, Korrin's and Kaeden's birthday are birthdays all fall on the same week.



On Monday we went on another hike to see some Petroglyph's.




We love spending time with James' family and having fun. Thanks PaPa and Grandma V. for everything.

Happy Birthday to Me

Well I'm officially 30 today I don't think it has quite set in yet. James brought me home some flowers and then took me out to a nice dinner minus the kids we ate at Rodizio Grill.(Brazilian Barbecue) It was really good food and it was really nice to have a night to ourselves and to be able to enjoy our dinner. Thanks to my younger sister Kelsey for watching the boys.
