Happy Birthday Dad!

I'm so honored that Dad chose to spend his birthday with us in Utah. Just kidding. I'm not a very good writer, but I just wanted to say I think we have a pretty cool dad. I know Dad has his quiet side, but when I think of all the stuff he has done in his life, and raised seven kids, and was a Bishop and has had a successful career while doing all of that, I think he's pretty amazing. Dad is funny in his own way, extremely talented, and not just in the music department, has always been the perfect movie date, as long as you don't ask more than three questions, and has a special place in his heart for the little grandkids. Carley was soooo excited to see him this weekend, and I think Dad was equally as excited. it was very cute to watch.

Anyways, I'm glad I was lucky to grow up with a Dad that loved us and took care of us, and helped us so patiently with our math homework; wait a minute, scratch that last one.

Love you Dad!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Another year gone by and another birthday too. Happy Birthday Mom! I want you to know we're all thinking about you, especially today and hope each year is happier than the one before. You are such a hard working, caring, supportive, loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and council women. You are always taking care of those around you and making sure everyone else is happy. You deserve a day to do what you want to do and relax. Thank you for your wonderful example and I'm so grateful to have you in my life. I love you...happy birthday.

traditions

wo its really been while since ive posted! i guess i just wanted to give the official THANK YOU to mom and dad for providing another WONDERFUL vacation for me and my lover in Newport Beach! I had some issues this year, but all in all I had an amazing time! im so greatful that i have parents who are very passionate about family tradition and have made sacrifices in their lives to provide those to their children and grandchildren.

I think it's funny that I work for them and they paid for my vacation (well I wasn't getting paid vacation hours, just a paid vacation). Gordon and I had a really good time enjoying each other that week, and heaven knows we needed a break from everything!

Sorry Jared that you were not here for this fun brother sister pic, but know that you were missed! we got to hang with you the next day when crash and sean werent there!

If you wanna see more fun pics from the trip you can visit my page or Jill's page!
