LINDSEY

Kailea's Birthday Party

The girls were invited to Kailea's birthday party. They had so much fun!! It was at a spa in Spanish Fork. This is Camille on the runway. They got their fingernails painted, their toenails painted, their faces painted and their hair done. After that they were able to pick an outfit for the fashion show and then walk the runway.

This is the tea party. Lindsey is tasting the bubble gum frosting. They had a chocolate fountain and pizza and all kinds of treats!!!

Here is the glamorous Samantha all ready to party. After the tea and the fashion show the girls made lip gloss and bath salts and lotions.

Here are all the girls ready for the fashion show. It was quite the party. The girls had the time of their life! I was glad I was their to see their excitment. I got to be the photographer! :)

Lexi's Senior Pictures

Michelle Evans (my cousin) came up and took pictures. She did such a GREAT job! I love them all. Lexi is having a hard time picking her favorite...
You'll see why, they are ALL SO good. Not to mention the fact that Lexi is just BEAUTIFUL!

L O N G overdue

Samantha was Julie Andrews at the wax museum at school. Audra made her outfit.
She sang, "Favorite Things." She did a great job. If I can figure out how to upload it. I will.

Skyler was Laura Bush.

"Mom, how do you read?"

I had to recreate this moment. Bubba was looking at a book, and asked me how to read. I thought it was such a sweet moment. I made him do it again so I could take a picture.

Bauer and Maggie

Here are Bauer and Maggie.

Bauer (Jack Bauer) is a 4 month old Yorkie. He is Lexi's puppy. We got him for her for Graduation. He is a very timid little guy. He is super smart. He has already learned to "come" and "sit." He doesn't like to be in trouble though.
This is Maggie. She is a 3 month old Shih Tzu. She is a bit on the fisty side. She is my Mother's Day present. She is so cute, and is a little fluff ball that gets so excited when you pay her any attention at all. Chris says he doesn't know why he has to put up with all my Shih Tzu...

They are both doing good at house training and don't have many accidents. We will have "Shorkies" in a year or so and they are the cutest puppies EVER! Look them up!

To Nurture a Child...

Emily made this for me for Mother's Day! With Millie and Bubba's help. It is so cute. She made it out of cardboard. The bottom part is the song, "You are my sunshine."

I have been thinking a lot about Mother's Day and how my thoughts about it have changed so much.

I used to think that I wanted gifts and I wanted to be pampered and if I wasn't then the day was just dumb and my family didn't really care about me.

But now, it doesn't have anything to do with that. It is about me being a nurturer. It is about all those that have nurtured me. It is about spending time with my children. Talking with them. Laughing with them. Singing with them. It's about the gift that God has given me and how I choose to take care of it.

If you are a daughter of God, then you have the desire to nurture, whether you have children or not. We are so lucky to be given this calling from our Father in Heaven. I have had a lot of people nurture me throughout my life. Even now, as an adult, I still have friends that are important to me, and nurture me, not as a child, but as a wife and mother and friend. I go to them for guidance, for understanding and sometimes even just to vent. I find strength through my friendships with other women.

Thank you to all of you who have touched my life.

Thank you mom, for being such a great mom. I love you!

NICOLAS

Nicolas is 18 months old now.
He is official in nursery. He has always been in there, because I am in there, but now he is OFFICIAL! Here he is playing with a 4 wheeler and making all kinds of start and running noises. Something boys seem to come by naturally. I am not sure how or why...Nicolas has the cutest pucker ever, this picture doesn't even do it justice. His top lip goes all the way to his nose. I love it. I asked him to kiss my "owie." I will keep trying to get a better picture.

These are his new big boy clothes for church. He looks so adorable! He loves the puppies as you can see.

AWWW...Nicolas' official first day of Nursery. April 26th.

Bubba's Happ, well, not so happy 4th birthday...

Ugh! This picture really makes my stomach hurt. This is his owie after getting a 4 wheeler for his birthday.
This is Bubba super happy in his new jacket GG made for him! Before his big owie after getting a 4 wheeler for his birthday. This is Bubba getting ready to ride his 4 wheeler before his owie after getting a 4 wheeler for his birthday.

The one good thing about this day, we all gained a stronger testimony in the power and comfort of the Priesthood.
