Happy birthday MOM!

Yesterday my mom had a birthday, I won't say how old because she always says she is still 39 and holding. So we will leave it at that. :) Here is a picture of my mom and me when I was just a baby...

My mom is a wonderful person and has always set a good example for me and my siblings. She is always positive and listens to me when I have a problem or just want to complain. I'm so lucky she is still around for me and hope she will be for many more years to come! She and my dad have an awesome marriage and have always been best friends. I appreciate their example and the love they show toward each other and to me. Some things you may not know about my mom:

-She is a wonderful cook (too bad I didn't get this gene).

-She is a great seamstress and is currently crocheting shawls for the new Oquirrh Hills temple.

-She loves to have all her family around her and makes the best barbecued turkey when we all get together.

-She is very loyal to her family and good friends and would do anything for them.

-She loves to do genealogy and indexing of names to prepare them for temple work.

-She likes to go to DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) once a month and meet up with some old friends.

-She works in the temple every Tuesday and really enjoys it.

I love you mom and I'm glad you and dad are my parents!

Thanks Aunt Angie!

We love the new blankets Aunt Angie sent down from Canada for us! They are warm and comfy. Here are the kids with their new blankets... This first one is Christian's blanket (the kids have to get in on any pictures taken with him for some reason).

Kaitlynisms

Kaitlyn has been saying some of the funniest things lately and I don't want to forget them so I will record them on the blog, here are some of her recent sayings:

"I'm boring!" - translation: I'm bored

"I'm juicy!" - translation: I'm thirsty

"I smell like stinky" - translation: something smells stinky

"I smell like chicken and fries" - something smells like chicken and fries

She also likes to ask a million questions, an answer to one question leads to another question:

"Why do we need pajamas?" "Why do we need beds to sleep in?" "Why do we need a baby?" "Why do we need legs?" "Why do we need food to eat?" - you get the idea. It's why, why, why everything. She is really growing up and is a lot of fun, but very high maintenance too. :) We're still very glad she is in our family!

Crazy hair

Christian's bottle of milk must have spilled in his hair a little in his sleep the other night because this is how he woke up the next morning...

Of course Dylan and Kinlee have to get in on the picture taking...

We love this little guy!
