Square Foot Gardening

 We did some 4x4 square gardens the other day it was very fun to be outside with the family

 We flooded part of our yard and it wasn't long before the twins were in the mud:)

Nate & Ang

 My sister and brother in law (Angela and Nathan) both had their birthdays a little while ago and a week after they came to our house! For Nate I had made the best kind of tie to have:) And a picture board for Ang:) 

Angela has always been one of my heroes. Ever sense she was 10 she has made the meals for my family (she kinda had to stop when she got married tho:) She would clean our house (with the help of my other sister), help with me and then the twins when they were born, she helped us all with our school and with all of this she would  do her own school. She has always been willing to help, happy, never lost her temper (I really don't think she has one), patient, a great cook, Beautiful!, totally selfless, and now she is an AMAZING wife and mother:) 

Ang and Nate were dating when I was 11yrs old. And at that point "big guys" didn't do much with me, and I will never forget how Nate was so nice to me, he never treated me like a little kid. He taught me (and many in my family) how to fish. I have remembered one conversation in particular between him and Ang right before they were married, They were just sorta teasing each other but I noticed then, as I have ever after, That with all of his joking around that he never belittles some one or makes anyone feel dumb for saying or doing something "weird". He treats each person with kindness and respect. He is is one of the best big brothers ever:)

These two people sure do mean the world to me! Thanks for everything you two:) 

Graduation!

 Well my life has now begun a new chapter. I am Graduated!!! I can't believe that it happened! That I am OLD! That I am going to Hair School! All these things I have been basing my whole life towards, now its hear, I've made it! It still doesn't seem real. But I am so excited for what that feature holds and everything I have accomplished I owe it all to my siblings, my parents but most of all to Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ.

I would not be anything with out these people, and I am so grateful for the opportunity God has given me to come to earth and to experience anything and everything that I so desire! Never holding me back only giving a guiding hand to keep me safe and bless me beyond compare.

Thanks every one for all you have done for me and with me in the last 18 years, but I want you to know that every good quality that I have has come from your example to me. So thanks for everything:)

 So it was kinda funny the whole graduation ceremony has never been a big deal for me. And when I sent out the invitation I was doing it more as an announcement. But then people started saying they would be there so my wonderful family threw something together for me :) 

It was so perfect and fun! Some people came, there were little treats, dad and I both gave speeches and I got a really cool looking diploma! 

 This is what Savannah thought of the whole thing:)

Well watch out world here I COME! ;)

 Julia (my causen) Got a dress for a really good price! And it inspired us to have a photo-shoot:)

I stayed over night at her house and in the morning I got to do both of our hair!!! We thought this whole thing would be like 4 or so hours, it took ALL DAY! Everything was just working out so WELL and we were having so much fun :) We got a little destacted. And these nice elderly couple let us take pictures in their yard (with all their roses) Well here is some of the pictures :)

 My sister Celeste let me ware her dresses! And borrow her shoes! And curling iron! "Thanks Celeste! Once again you have made it possible for me to do something fun. Thank YOU!"

 It Was lots of fun, Julia said that she just doesn't look good in curls but I am pretty sure she LOVED these :)

It was so much fun! Thanks Jewels! :)

Fishing

I LOVE when Ang, Nate and their family comes because they are AWESOME but also because it is the only time we go FISHING!!!

Kason was such a good helper, and it was so cute to see how much he knew about it all and how much fun he had sharing his knowledge with the kids younger then him. I love my nephews!

This was Craigs first fish (He did NOT want to touch it:) But just look at his face. He is SO PLEASED!

Mom is a trooper all the way :D

My dad LOVES being a Grandpa! What ever he is doing if the kids want to do it to he is more than happy to let them help him. Even if it means things like shutting off the lawn mower and let all the kids limb to there hearts content :)

(This is the face Savannah poles when she is as happy as she could EVER-BE)

LOL! I have said it before and I will say it again: "I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!"
