Happy Birthday Adam!

Adam,

At 11 years old, I love that still want to cuddle and give me hugs.  I love your hugs, they are not just any run of the mill hugs; they are great big squeezes.  I love your creativity and the fact that you still love to play with Legos.  I love that you will play with everyone - even the little ones.  I love your sensitive heart and your willingness to help me out (most of the time).  I love that you are practicing being a gentleman by helping me in and out of the car and holding the door open for me when we go to church.  You are a very special kid and you make me laugh.  Right now, your favorite things to do are:  Ride your ripstick and make a skate park using old wood in the back yard, create things out of Legos, Watch "Cake Boss" and "Man vs. Wild" on TV, eat spaghetti or Mac and Cheese, and tease Abigail.  Happy Birthday Adam.  I love you lots.

Love, 

Mom

Girls Trip 2011

Woohoo! We did it again!  My friends, Debbie, Shelly, and Lori, and I left for Disneyland again.  We had such a great time together the first time, we decided to do it again.  We packed our bags and headed to warm (uh, rainy) Anaheim, CA. We all love Disneyland and had such a great time visiting both parks for 3 whole days.  I love our Girls Trips.  We have so much fun being together and laughing till we cry.  Thanks Lori for making us go to the Tiki Room.  Thanks Shelly for getting that stupid song stuck in our heads "Let's all sing like the birdies sing."  Thanks Debbie for not wearing your fanny pack this year and learning how to work the seatbelts.  And Thanks to everyone for not making me pee my pants at Disneyland - although it was close again this year.  Can't wait for Girls Trip 2012 next year.  San Diego better watch out.... we're on our way!

No "nun"sense going on here.

New "Charlie's Angel" Action figures

I love these ladies!

Ice Climbing

Aaron was able to go do a fun (scary) thing today.  His forum of EO (Entrepreneur Organization) went to Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon.  Since the waterfall was completely ice, they were able to ice climb the waterfall.  Right before he went, he called and made sure I knew where his life insurance policy was.  Thanks Dear!  He said it was really fun and very tiring.
