Happy Birthday Justin & Lauren

Today Is Justin's 38th birthday.

Justin, I hope you have a great birthday! I love you so much. I'm so glad I get to spend my life with you. You are the best husband and dad, anyone could ever ask for. My life was complete, the day we met, and I can't even imagine my life without you. You are definately my soul mate. We were "mfeo" (made for each other:) Thank you for always being there for me, and for loving me the way you do. I am so grateful for that. I am so glad you are able to be home with the fam. and that we are able to enjoy our family while they are young. That was my goal with Isagenix, to be able to have you retire early, but I want you to know I could have never done it without you, and your support. You have always helped so much, it takes alot to run a household, and I could never do it without all your hard work. You may not have a "JOB" anymore, but I have been so impressed with how much time and effort you spend helping the kids with everything from football, baseball, basketball, cheer, homework, missionary prep., driving. And helping me with everything from Laundry, Driving kids here and there, grocery shopping etc.. sometimes I wonder if there's anything left for me to do except watch an old movie, and eat bon bon's!! I know you do it all because you love us, and It has been so great to see that sparkle in your eye, that tells me that you are loving the freedom and enjoying your life with your family! I love to see that. It makes everything worth it!! Now I just want to spoil you, because that's exacly what you deserve. I can't wait for you to get your present!! I love you, Cindy


Lauren,

I can't believe my baby girl is 13, you need to stop getting older now! Lauren I love you so much and I am so proud of the beautiful, spiritual, kind, funny, and loving young lady that you are becoming. I hear compliment after compliment about how kind, and compassionate, and nice you are. From people judging by your beauty, expect you to be the opposite, and are always pleasantly surprised. I am so impressed with the good choices that you are making, with your testimony and with the example that you set for all who know you. I am so happy with your choice of friends, and am blown away at your wisdom, and strength. You are such an angel. I love you with all of my heart. I can't wait for your b-day party. Love, Mom

Chris's Play: The Frog Prince

Christopher played the frog prince in his class play, and he was the best frog prince in the world! He said his lines very loud, and slow enough for everyone to understand, he did a great job, and smiled the whole time, except when he was suppose to act mad :) the frog princess was two heads taller than him. He was so cute!

Mother's day

Mother's day, was a little unusual this year. We took a trip to Manti, and Buried Sneaker on my parents property. We had a special burial, and each remembered things we loved about sneaker, and had a prayer.

Then we went to the Manti temple, which is very familiar to all of us, since that's where we were sealed as a forever family, and the kids rolled down the hill as usual. We had a lot of fun. It is a mother's day I will never forget!

Mckinzie & Mckay's B-day Party

It's been a while since I've blogged, so I have a lot to catch up on. First, the twins had a birthday party, they had a blast! They went to the mall for a scavenger hunt, each team had a list of things they had to take pictures of, then we ate there and then brought them all home for Pizza, cake, and games. They each invited 6 of their friends, and they ended up playing night games until 10 or 11 at night. Now that their 15 they're just excited to get their learners permit...(scary) We love you Mckinzie and Mckay!

Happy 13th Birthday Lauren. Lauren is an amazing young lady. She just finished 7th grade with a 3. 6 gpa (yaaaaa!). She is also starting 8th grade cheer for American Fork Junior High. She is so amazing at tumbling and stunts. Some of the stuff she does is pretty scary. I just turn my head and pray. She is very beautiful and has many friends girls and BOYS(NOOOOO). I just tell her "boy friends" that I have a shovel, and I know how to use it. She's only 13, STAY AWAY FOR A FEW MORE YEARS.

Lauren you will always be my little baby girl.

Happy Birthday

Love Dad
