Tori

My sister Tori is one of my most favorite people.  She is the best sister, daughter, and aunt.  All of the grandkids love her.  She is so willing to play with them and watch movies with them and babysit them.  She is so helpful to my mom and dad around the house.  She does the dishes most of the time and she also does a lot of the laundry. 

Tori loves movies, she has hundreds.  She works full time at burger king and she saves her money so she can buy "treats" and movies.  She is so good to remember everyone on their birthdays.  She always sends you a card and a little bit of money on your birthday.

This year was fun because we were in St. George for the blessings and it happened to be Tori's birthday on Sunday.  So we made her some cupcakes and had a little party for her. 

 Jared loves to tease Tori, but she can hold her own. 

Happy 39th Birthday Tori.  We love you!!

K & K's Blessing Day

Oh Saturday March 3rd we drove to St. George for Kollin & Kleyton's blessings.  We met at Tabi & Kole's church.  Jared blessed Kollin and my dad blessed Kleyton.  Both blessings were so wonderful, but each unique and individual for the baby that was being blessed.  There was a strong spirit there and it was just a nice day.

After the blessing we had the most fabulous pot luck.  Kole's family brought the majority of it since most of our family had to travel and long way.  The food was so good.  The day was perfect.  We are so glad that we were able to go.  And I am so proud of Jared for honoring his priesthood.

MaKady's Duet

Last Friday the Jr. High had their spring concert.  MaKady and her friend Lindsey tried out a few weeks before and they were picked to do a duet.  They practiced a lot and when it came down to it they did a wonderful job.  I am so proud of her.  I know how hard it is to stand in front of a crowd and sing.  They are amazing girls.  Love them!

that's what little boys are made of

Oh this little boy is one of the joy's of my life.  He is so happy and cuddly.  But all boy.  He loves to play outside in the dirt and the rocks and the snow.  He also really loved sitting in Uncle Mike's tractor.  We actually did get a few smiles from him, but really he wanted to see the birds in the garage.  So for his special treat after pictures he got to sit on the tractor and see the little finch birds.
