Happy 30th Kaycee!

This is the coolest and most fun 30 year old out there. She is someone I tell everything to. We love spending time together. Kaycee always sticks up for what's right and what she believes in. She is so funny, she loves to play jokes on people and when we get together (and that is a lot. almost every weekend) we always have a good time. She loves vacations and if you ever get a chance to go w/kaycee you're in for some fun. Kaycee loves get together and parties. She is the party planner and does a great job at it. I think she plans something once a month. Kaycee is tender hearted and doesn't hold a grudge. Kaycee is very easy to talk to and loves to get to know everyone. She marries her High school Sweetheart 10 years ago and they have 3 stinkin' cute kids (Abbey, Jaden and Brigham). Kaycee is such a great mom and so patient.

We are as close as it gets. She isn't just my sister, she's one of my best friends.

Happy Birthday, Kaycee!

Bear World

My sister and I planned a weekend getaway with our families to Idaho. With the help of my uncle we got a King suite at a Marriott for CHEAP. We took advantage of the pool. The kids LOVED it.

                        Here is My sister and I with our babies, Adelaide and Brigham (there first time swimming)

                                                          Abbey, Jaden, Hannah and Houston ready to swim.  

The Next day was Bear Wold!

You drive in this wooded area and look at animals. Some are in fenced off areas and some aren't. Some other animals we saw were Buffalo, wolves and elk.

This bear thinks he owns the pond.

The bears will walk around your car. Before you enter the workers tell you to keep your windows up and don't stop your car. If you stop the bears will try to get on it and they have been known to take off license plates and window wipers.

The closet bear we saw was walking right next to our car door.

Cute little baby bears that you get to pet.

We enjoyed little rides w/the kids 

Hannah and her cousin Abbey

A petting zoo with Pigs, turkeys, deer, and goats

Last but not least... We got on a large truck (about the size of a garbage truck) and fed the bears doughnuts and bread. They were SO cute. Some knew how to sit/beg and some waved. There are some bears that have been in movies that live at Bear Wold.

It was such a great little vacation.

Mother's Day Date

Hemi Planned a mother's day date for me. He invited my Brother (Dallin) His Wife (Grisel) My sister (Kaycee) and Her hubby (Robby) and all our babies. (we have babies around the same age)

We went to Texas Roadhouse. Hemi knows I love Texas Roadhouse!

In this fam. Van is my sister Kaycee, me, Hemi and my bro-in-law Robby

Here we are ready to get our game on at the Bowling Alley.

Here is the Lively crowd. Seriously! At the bowling alley everyone else was sitting in their seats and just plain bowling. We hardly ever sat down, and if we got a spare or a strike we had to do a dance move. We were laughing SO much that night, you'd think we had too much to drink.

Here are our candid pictures after had just bowled...

This one was mine, but my sister Kaycee was with me. :)

Thanks Hemi for the AMAZING Date!

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Happy Birthday, Spencer!!

Spencer is a good brother/uncle. My kids love Spencer. He is so fun with them.

Here is Spencer w/Adelaide.

Spencer married Lindsey almost 3 years ago. I love when we get to spend time with those two.

Amanee, Dallin, Hemi, Spencer and Robby @ mine and Hemi's wedding

Spencer is a go getter. If he doesn't have a job he does what it takes to find one a.s.a.p. and usually has one less then a week later. He is a really good handy man. He can fix almost anything from his house to his cars. He's a hard worker. 

He is an outdoorsy person. He likes to hike, and do water sports. I am so happy Spencer is my brother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  

My Mother

 My Mother is one of a kind. She wasn't just a mother growing up she was one of my best friends. She was so much fun. She would help out on my school classes, When I would have sleepovers with friends, she would stay up talking with us. When I would come home from a date she would wait up for me so she could hear al about it. My mother is the a great example in my life. She has tought me how to have laugh and have fun.

My mom is a wonderful missionary. She met a cousin of hers she never knew about and became friends with her. Because of my mom's wonderful example Julie got baptized. In this photo is My mom (Laura), Her cousin/friend (Julie) my Mom's parent's (Carol and Richard)

My mom is always there for me. She has been there from start to finish in all my labors. In this picture is my sister Kayceee and my mom being my "doula's" as I am in labor. They were having a little fun with it. (My mom always tries to make what ever she is doing fun!)

I love vacations with my parents. This last November we went to California with my parents and we had a really nice time.

My mom likes activities. Her she is in a cave w/my sister Tawni. Which reminds me... She is so unselfish and wants to help everyone. She adopted 2 children from Ethiopia. She takes trips to Peru and sends families money each month to help them with school or to make ends meet. She has such a love for everyone and finds ways she can help. 

My mom is a wonderful grandmother to 7 grandkids (ages 5 and younger) In this photo she is holding My niece Rebekah

My mom has been there for me through everything. One thing I am SOOO grateful she was there for, was me meeting Hemi. She would chat to him online and even pretend she was me. ( all with my permission) She did her research and called his branch pres. and mission pres. to make sure he was who he says he was. Lots of people did not support mine and Hemi's relationship, my mom supported it 100%  from day one.

A Picture of My wedding day!

I LOVE YOU MOM! I am SO Blessed to have you as my Mother! Happy Mother's Day!
