To Blog or not to Blog...Plus Happy Birthdays!

I struggle to post and it is obvious if you ever check my blog. I love reading others, but struggle posting pictures (I do not have a scanner and don't take pictures) thus I don't want to blog because every post should have some type of picture. Well it has been birthday weekend and since I was late for my Gram's, John's, and Jocey's, I can't do Emily's on her birthday or that would show prejudice. Love all of them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!


Grandma has always been a righteous example in my life especially when it comes to attending and serving in the Temple. I am grateful for her friendship and know I can turn to her and she will always be there to help me. She is willing to sacrifice everything for her family and is so supportive and loving. Brady has especially loved having her in the family because they have very similar, funny sense of humor. WE LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!


Jocelyn is my friend in progress. We have not always been so close with five years between us, but we have become a lot closer and are lucky enough to spend a lot of time together. She is such a righteous person and a good example to our family. She puts up with so much of my antics and sticks by my craziness. I love her so much and will miss her when we move out. (Good thing we have one more year together!) Brady has found his long lost sister and will protect or do anything for her. Thanks for putting up with our annoyingness. WE LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!


John is a great example of a loving husband, brother, and son. I have been lucky to watch him my whole life and see such an obedient and caring person. He and Brady have been friends for so long and I am grateful for their friendship because they are crazy and competitive together! We miss John and Britt, but are proud of all that they have accomplished in their lives. John think back to those days that you wouldn't let me watch you and your friends play nintendo. Now I hold the power whether you get to play xbox with your best friend...he he he he he.....just kidding. WE LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!


Emily is such a great example of a multi-talented, loving mother and wife. I look at her and hope to one day be like her. She enjoys the shock factor, but keeps everything lively. She is always so generous to open up her home to her obnoxious family. She is ambitious and can do anything she wants. WE LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!
