Happy Birthday Adam! (wow your old)

Happy Birthday Adam. Adam just turned 30 yesterday! (Sorry i haven't posted sooner, but I was busy yesterday!) Adam has always been an amazing brother to me!! Here are some things that i remember from growing up with Adam!

*I am now questioning his babysitting techniques. To punish us while he was babysitting he would turn on the movie hatchet, and fast forward it to a really gross part in the movie, and pause it, and make us look at a gross dead face for a long time!

*I loved staying up on Christmas Eve and playing mario brothers all night with him! He even made sure we would stack pillows around kelli so we didn't wake her up!

*In Junior high and high school he would always be the one to look out for me and protect me from all the mean boys!

*I was always excited to have my friends meet Adam. He would make them laugh, they would have a good time at my house, and then i would be cool!! (although i don't really think that I ever was very cool)

*He used to call me and my friends- lesbian naizy hookers (sorry about the spelling). A normal person would probably be affended by this title, but we loved it! It meant that Adam was paying attention to us, and that was the best!

Everyone that would meet Adam just loved him! I always wanted to be like him! Thank you Adam for being a great big brother! Your the best!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just love Thanksgiving! I have been meaning to post a lot sooner, but i got busy shopping for Christmas! Anyway for thanksgiving this year we went to my moms house on wednesday night. My mom had prepared a huge meal! Everyone brought yummy salads, and we ate till we had gained 10 pounds!! It was a lot of fun, and it was the first time in a long while that we were all able to make it! Thanks mom for the dinner it was yummy! (sorry forgot my camera, so no pictures :( Boo!! ) Then on thursday we went to Darin's parents house for another Thanksgiving dinner. Also for the first time in a LONG time, everyone showed up!! We had a great time hangin out with family and reading the ads for black friday!! I just love thanksgiving, but now i'm way excited for christmas!!!

Happy shopping!!

What a busy week!

Wow I have such a very busy weekend! Being in the young women's program I had the opportunity to go and support my girls in the region volleyball championship games. These games started on thursday night and went until saturday morning. We had a little excitment on friday night. They had asked me to be one of the scorekeepers for all the games. I was trying my best to keep track of all the girls points when my phone started ringing. It was Darin's work, he had just had a seizure and he wasn't wanting to do anything, and his work was pretty scared about the whole event. So i had to find and train a replacement so i could run to his work. After calming down some of his co workers I took Darin home, so he could sleep. It was pretty crazy. I hate it when he has seizures at work. I felt bad for leaving the girls during one of their games, but they still won!! They didn't lose a game until saturday! We ended up coming in third in the regions!!! I am so proud of these girls, they did great!! Here are some pictures of their last game. (it was the only one i remembered to bring my camera too!)

Right after their last game on saturday, I took my two kids to "brunch with belle". It was pretty crazy, because Darin was still sleeping from his seizure the night before, so i took the two kids by myself to the whole event! Northridge high school is doing the Beauty and Beast play this year. Brunch with belle was something fun they did just for the kids, and boy it was so much fun! They got to eat lunch with the beast and belle, and a bunch of the characters from the play were our servers. They even danced a sung for us. MyKelle Loved it!

This is Mykelle with a girl from our ward that is in the play, it was the only person that she would pose with for a picture. I know she looks a little dozey, but i just don't take good pictures!

MyKelle and gage found this cute little chair to sit in, and just couldn't resist the picture without them knowing!

This is mykelle waiting for belle, and lunch!!

This is them coloring on the table! They thought it was so cool!

MyKelle loved the play so much! She keeps talking about wanting to buy the movie. She doesn't understand me when i tell her that the disney vault is closed!

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming! I'm sure this is no suprise to anyone, but i need help with Christmas Present ideas!!! I love to be done with all of my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving, because I hate shopping in crowds!!! So i'm asking for you help because i have no idea what to do for people this year! So what fun, cute, and cheap things have you done for you neighbors, friends, mom's, mother-in-laws(which would include dad, and father-in-laws), and your kids friends!!! Thank you in advance for all your ideas!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Well today I turned 26! And thanks to my wonderful family, it was such a great day! My mom came up in the morning and we went shopping for new clothes, and went to lunch! That evening everyone in my family came up and we all went to dinner at the olive garden and then back to my house for pie and ice cream! I forgot my camera during dinner, so here are pictures of the party at my house.

This is everyone trying to fit in my living room! And yes Adam is playing barbies with mykelle!

Gage was playing football with everyone he could find!

This is another picture of Adam playing Barbies with MyKelle!

The last couple of days Gage has had some Asthma problems. So when everyone left we had to give him a breathing treatment before bed!
Gage is so used to treatments that now he insists on holding the mask himself! Isn't that so cute!

MyKelle was showing her love for her brother! She has been such a wonderful big sister to her sick little brother!

I had such a fun birthday! Thanks to everyone that made it great!
