ZACH TURNS 26!

September 23, 2014

My son is 26 years old! I cannot believe it! Zach is such a great guy. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work. I love the man he has turned out to be. He is an awesome HUSBAND, FATHER AND SON. He is SPIRITUAL, he is ATHLETIC, he is SMART, he is FUNNY, he is so CARING, and he is his OWN SELF. He has a lot on his plate right now at this time in his life. He is a STUDENT, a PROVIDER, a BOXER, a FAMILY MAN, and a YOUNG MENS LEADER. He is busy but he is doing all of the important things he should be doing. I love watching him with his kids and I am so proud of how he takes time out to spend a lot of time playing and teaching Boston. They love to work side by side and Boston will follow him everywhere. They are best buds! He is so sweet with Mikell and would do anything for her. He has always been considerate of me and he takes good care of me too. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH! I hope this BIRTHDAY has been a great one for you! Take a stroll down memory lane with me and see how this BOY has grown into a wonderful MAN:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love you so much Zach and I am so thankful you are my SON! I am one lucky Ma!

SEPTEMBER FAMILY B-DAYS

September 2014

We celebrated SEPTEMBER B-DAYS at Mom's house this month.  It was Mom's, and Zach's BIRTHDAY but we celebrated Ashley's as well. We had CAKE AND ICE CREAM and just enjoyed being together. Boston came dressed in his UTES jersey, which Grandma Shirley could not believe he would wear that at her house, since she is a major BYU fan. She pulled out her football hat, big blowup BYU hat and then her basketball hat. Boston got a major kick out of it. He thinks she is so funny! We all love Grandma Shirley and had fun celebrating her BIRTHDAY!

BOSTON'S IN PRESCHOOL!

September 2014

What?  Boston is in PRESCHOOL? How can that be? How can time move so swiftly? Boston has been looking forward to starting PRESCHOOL because he gets to go to school with his cousin, Devin, and because he has the best PRESCHOOL TEACHER EVER! It's his Grandma Melanie!!  Boston got all ready to go with his backpack in hand and he had the best day ever. He is learning so much and he is already writing his letters and I am so proud of how well he is doing. He is one SMART COOKIE!

TAGGARTS WITH THE BESTIES

September 11, 2014

Me and my YW FRIENDS drove up to TAGGART'S for dinner. I usually LOVE TAGGART'S but this time my food wasn't as good and neither was the service. It was the first time I have ever not been thoroughly satisfied with this place. The best part besides the CARROT CAKE, was being with my BESTIES! I have such a great time every time I am with them. They are all so wonderful!

                                                   MaryAnn, Janice and Cozette

                                                                 Brooke and Kim

                                                                 Shelli and Suzanne

                                                         Stephanie, Kris and Brooke

 Ha! Ha! Kris looks darling with her one lensed eye piece! :)  Brooke laughs at her too!

I am so happy that we have remained friends and we get together once a month. We all worked together in Young Women's and were released clear back in 2005, yet we are still enjoying spending time with each other. I don't know if there ever was a better group of leaders in our ward. We were an awesome group and worked so well together. We are missing a few ladies but I was so happy that most of us were there. Love you ladies!!
