Abby's Birthday

 The "forced" smile

 The forced smile keeps getting better and better

Because the Ackermans are here we decided to celebrate Abby's birthday since they won't be out for her birthday. We went on a walk and played outside. Abby was very excited for her chocolate cake. She got a Cinderella wand and carried it around everywhere and kept pointing it at people. Whenever you asked what age she was she said, "May 15" (her birthday). I'm so happy we could spend time with Abby for her early birthday.

Evie's Birthday

The Ackermans came from Connecticut again! They came out to have family around for Evalyn's blessing. The blessing was very beautiful and I'm glad we have this church to bless her in. I'm so glad we can have family here and that they can stay with us. 

Fulford Weekend: Mason's Birthday

When the Fulfords came down to see Brooke go down to prom, it was Mason's birthday as well. We made him a sign, cake, and balloons. Once we got done singing the happy birthday song and he leaned down to blow out the candles, Brock jumped up and blew them out before Mason had the chance. Round two of the candles Mason actually was able to blow out his own candles.

Brooke Goes to Prom

Brooke went to her first prom this year. Thankfully most of the family could be here to see it. The whole family was sitting in the living room when Dalton (the date) walked in. He stepped in and said, "Wow, that's a lot of people here." When he walked Brooke out to the car all of us rushed to the windows to watch and see if he opened the door for her-don't worry, he did. It was really fun to watch her get ready and go. She got home around midnight. I tried to stay up and listen. I stayed up until she walked in and starting talking then I don't remember anything else. I'm glad the family could be up and see Brooke get ready. It was a fun day to be apart of.

 We get the most gorgeous sunsets here

I forgot to write for a while and when family came over I was hounded to post, so here it is: Things that happened for ever ago but I spaced out writing on. I've been missing my favorite season, fall so I wanted to show some of those pictures. Sunsets and raspberries are in their prime time in the fall. Even though we didn't get much of a winter this year I already am ready for spring and summer-and school to be over for that matter. Christmas pictures were posted because I miss that as well. We got to Skype Kendon on Christmas day. It was great to see him again and know he's doing well. We also got to see some family over the break. Haylee and Morgan came from college, the Fulfords , and the Barkers came. Naturally when family comes we play games, needless to say it got competitive. So, here is my post of catch-up and I'll try to write more.

Missing Kendon

        Harry potter forever

So lately I've been missing Kendon like crazy. It really hot me when we skyped him how much I missed him. I'm really glad he is on a mission and is teaching people the gospel but I wish the two years would go by faster. Skyping him was really great. It was fun to see him. Man, he has gained a lot of weight. Well actually only 35 pounds but he was so skinny before that it seems like so much. I can't wait until he comes home, this boy is the best. Although I miss him I know what he's doing is great, if it would just hurry faster. I love and miss this weird kid.
