Family Pictures

We had our pictures taken a few months back and I wanted to post some of them. They turnned out so cute ;)





I love this picture of my Mema and Olepa! It is so special to me. They have been married 55 years!

These are of my Mom and her parents with my brothers and I!



Here are the Cousins! I can't stand how freakin cute they are!

This is my Mom with the kids. She is the BEST Nani and Mother on earth. She loves with all her heart and gives everything she has to her family! I love you Mom, more than you know!

And here is my little Eternal Family!

Vacation

Billy and I went on vacation with Sarah and Stephen. WOW we had fun. We had some really good laughs and much needed relaxation! Here are some of our fun pictures! We had a blast taking pictures in every hat we could find.





Sarah and I also had a brush with fame... At Universal Studio's we met the stunt guy for Twilight. I don't know why, but that was pretty cool.

We also ate at Pink's and Randy's and they live up to their fame. BOMB FOOD!





I will leave you all with some more hat pictures...

Brigham turned One!!!

I can not believe my baby boy is one. The year has gone by so fast. I absolutely Cherish him. He is the happiest baby, always ready to smile and laugh. We had his birthday on the 30Th and it turned out awesome! So much family came to celebrate. Thank you everyone for coming and for all the wonderful gifts. He loves them and so do I. I really appreciate the clothes. He grows so fast I can hardly keep up with him;) And a special thank you to my mom. You always go above and beyond for my kids. I was really worried about how Billy and I were going to be able to afford the new car seat... I should have known I didn't need to worry, you always take care of us;) I love you, thank you! Here are some pics from his party. I made the cake. I am pretty proud of it. It was the first time I have ever made a "fancy" cake.





The 31st was his actual birthday so we made him his pancake breakfast and sang. Brigham loves pancakes and he almost ate the whole thing.



Here are some things about Brigham that maybe you didn't know:
His first word was dog. He loves his puppies and likes to look out the back door and watch them play. If he ever gets to quiet the first place I go look is at the back door. More times than not, that's where he is. Brigham is very happy and easy to get laughing. He doesn't just giggle, he laughs hard. Almost anything will get him laughing. Like runing his hands down daddy's chin when he hasn't shaved in a while. To jumping and spining with him. Chasing him around the room gets him laughing. There isn't much that he doesn't find funny. I could go on and on and I actually want to, but this is going to have to be continued later... We are leaving for Cali in the morning and Billy is telling me it's time to get stuff ready, I guess he is right. So I will leave you with a few pictures of Brigham from the past year.

WANTED! 5 Men Armed and Dangerous

The boys went shooting today. Here they are with their guns. Watch out!

Oregon

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Oregon with my Debbie and Don this past month. We went to see Alexis get baptized and seeing the Mathias family made me realize how much I missed them. The kids are growing so fast... Alexis is still as sweet as they come. Family is so important and I have the best family on all sides. Abby started walking while we were there. It was so cute ;) Just sitting here thinking about them makes me miss them so much. I took for granted them living so close for so long. I miss seeing their faces at Sunday dinner. I miss being able to hug them each week and hearing their silly stories. I miss Ammons warped sense of humor and Tammy just shaking her head at him...
Anyways, it was good seeing them. The ride in the car was LONG to put it lightly. The kids did great however! I only wanted to pull my hair out a few time, JK. Thank you so much Debbie and Don for taking me. It is something I will never forget! And I really want us all to go back to the parks for a camping trip! Lets plan it... Here are a few of the hundreds of pics!

Christopher's Wedding

Chris tied the knot with Brittany on March 21st. It was such a fun day. Lots of family and friends came to support the two in starting their lives together. I am so proud of Christopher, words can not express how happy I am to see him settle down. Brittany is beautiful and so much fun. Here are some pics of the fun day! Amber was the flower girl and she looked stunning! I was a brides maid and Billy was a grooms men!

25 Interesting Facts

I saw this on my cousin’s blog and thought it was fun. While I was reading her answers I was thinking about what I would say. So I decided to just do one myself. Not sure how interesting it’s going to be...

1. My biggest pet peeve is un tucked pockets - Not sure why...
2. I'm obsessed with not being fat, really obsessed – Not sure why on this one either.
3. I eat the same thing at every restaurant we go to. Example - if we go to Chilies I will get the mushroom fajitas (every time). Or Subway, I get a turkey sub.
4. (This is one of Truly's, but it goes for me as well) I cry much harder when an animal dies in a movie than a person. Weird.
5. I will take a bath every night, if I can. I also like the water on as hot as it will go, no kidding. When I get out I look really sun burnt!
6. One of the hardest things I have ever gone through is my parent's divorce. For a lot of reasons, it's still hard.
7. My favorite time of day is when Amber wakes up from a nap... she is always so cuddly and touches my face and kisses. Sometimes she falls back asleep and I get to just hold her.
8. I love the hot summer. I guess this is why I love Arizona. I will take heat any day over cold.
9. I hate being pregnant. I love the outcome of pregnancy and I love some things like feeling the baby move. But, everything else I can do without. I think this has a lot to do with being obsessed with not being fat. I feel so fat pregnant.
10. I LOVE Disneyland. I am really a little kid at heart. I get more excited than most kids. It really is a magical place.
11. I drink Diet Dr Pepper like its water. YUMMY! When I'm hungry sometimes I find myself drinking one instead of eating food. I like it so much I will actually choose which restaurant to eat at based on if they have it or not.
12. I am a totally basket case in a car when other people are driving. Sad, I know, but I really do get scared. I try to control this as much as possible. It really makes Billy mad sometimes!
13. I love movies. We own a small fortune of them.
14. My favorite sound in the whole world is Brigham laughing! It gets me every time.
15. I am jealous of Becky Jones and how dang cute she does her girls hair! I try but, I just can't do some of those styles!
15. I run for fun and Billy just does not get this at all!
16. I like being Blonde and hate it when people say I have brown hair. I was brave a few months ago and colored my hair "darker" blonde but, now I have that out of my system I'm going back really blonde!
17. I love to travel and don't get to do it near enough.
18. I hate doing laundry. Really and truly hate it.
19. I like to make up songs to sing to my kids that make no sense what so ever and laugh at myself when doing this. Billy thinks I’m a dork but the kids seem to like it.
20. My biggest regret is how I treated my mom while I was a teenager! I know a lot of people say don’t regret but I do.
21. If I had three wishes they would be; for my dad to not be sick anymore, that ALL my family will be in the Celestial Kingdom together one day, and that I could speak to my papa again just once.
22. I really enjoy sign language and want to become fluent.
23. I love being with Billy and I really mean this. I sometimes follow him around the house without even realizing I’m doing this, I know, I’m weird. I don’t like doing anything with out him and it’s not because I’m dependent on him it’s because I enjoy him. Everything is better with him there. Ahhhh…
24. I can’t sing or dance even if my life depended on it.
25. My family is my life.
