Biggie's Birthday Bash!

So I know it's two months ago but I didn't receive the pictures immediately and it's been pretty busy! Here's the pictures from Braxton's Birthday Party!

Birthday Wishes

I've decided to start posting Birthday Wishes to those who've had their b-day's; I'm a bit late for August but that's where I'm going to start. So for August Happy Birthday to me! Just kidding. Ok so it was my b-day but that's not why I'm posting. We'll just move along to the next couple of birthday's in August. Happy Birthday to Desiree. This year for Des birthday Alan planned a surprise party for her. If you'd like to check out her post on the party click here. We are so happy to have Des as part of our family. She is such a great mom and a wonderful wife to Alan. She has great decorating ideas, and it good at finding the "good deals". She's a wonderful person with a great personality. A perfect addition to our family. I hope you had a great b-day Des!

Next up is Braxton (aka Biggie). Braxton turned 2 in August. Ami had a party for him on the Saturday following (which I may post pictures from later). We are so blessed to have biggie as a part of our family. He's such an adorable little boy, with a smile that will melt your heart. He's such a crack up too! He's getting to be sich a big boy and so smart and talented! We love you so much biggie and hope you had a great b-day!

Family Reunion

Thursday July 31st our Family got together at my house (Heidi) for a pool party/bbq. We decided a few years back we wanted to start doing Family Reunions every year and each kid will get a turn to host it. Well since I really havent lived out of my parents house for very long since last year I really wanted to have it at my house. Karna and her boys and Josh were not able to make it but everyone else that made it seemed to have fun. We are so blessed to all live in Utah and close that we try to get together often anyways. Here are some pictures.

4th Fun!

On the 4th of July we got together with the exception of Alan and Des (they were at a family reunion for the Wade's) and had a BBQ at my house (Shanna) and then went to Thanksgiving Point to see the Fireworks. It was a lot of fun. The kids all loved playing with each other. we brought some pop-its for them and mom and dad even stuck around for the fireworks! Afterward Karna, Heidi & Mike came back to our house to light off a few little fireworks that Karna had bought. It was a lot of fun! Maybe even the start of a new tradition? Well at least as long as we live in Lehi.:)

Fathers Day (I know I'm late posting this)

All of the kids were able to make it up to Dad and Mom's for Fathers day last weekend. I don't think Alan and Des made it there before Heidi had to go though. But never the less everyone made it to see dad. Ami brought some Marie Calendar pies. Dad's favorite is Lemon Meringue and she also brought a Razzleberry Creme pie. Yummy! The kids all had a lot of fun playing cars with grandpa too!

We Love you Dad!

Lauryn's Baptism

Last Saturday April 12, 2008 Lauryn was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We all went up to attend the baptism and a little get together afterward at Alan's house. Lauryn looked so cute in her white dress and her little flower clips that her mom made for her. And you could feel the spirit so strong there. The kids watched everything so intently. Her dress came up so she had to go down again but she didn't seem to mind. And after it was all over Abi and Hannah both wanted to get in the water. Lauryn we are so proud of you and so is your Father in Heaven. And he loves you so much. Always remember that. We love you!

March Birthdays

This past Sunday we had dinner to Celebrate the birthdays in the month of March. Everyone made it except Alan and Desiree and their family. It was a lot of fun and Grandma Zaugg was even able to come! We love having her closer to us.
I know I know the candles are a little weird. All I had was a number 3 and 6 blue candles. But we work with what we have!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM, JOSH, & LAURYN!!! We Love You!
