The Big 1-8!

Stevie turns 18 today!  Can you believe it?  I know I can't.  My mom's baby is 18!  Wow!
These are a few random pictures I found of him in the past few years.  He's been so much fun and such a joy to the whole family.  I'm grateful for the time I've had to get to know him since moving back to Farmington two years ago.  I know he's the little brother that Tom never had but always wanted!
Love you Stevie!!! 

Stevie, Barry Michael and Taylor

Can you tell he's my "little" brother?


The four horsemen...my four handsome brothers.

Happy Birthday Stevie!

The Big 2-7!

Tom always makes my "Birth-Week" so special!  That's right I get a Birth-week!  I don't know how or when that started but I LOVE it!  My week started last Thursday when Tom and I went to Albuquerque.  We went for a doctor's appointment, but after that it was all fun and games!
We ate and shopped and ate and relaxed and ate!  We stayed at a hotel and even rented a movie in the hotel room, which we've never done, and just enjoyed each other w/ no other distractions.  The next morning we swam and ate and then went to the Temple.  It was a beautiful day w/ my wonderful husband. 
The weekend continued in bliss, but the best surprise came when Tom told me that he got me off of work for my Birthday.  That was seriously the best present EVER!  He made me my favorite breakfast, crepes, w/ lots of other options...cinnamon rolls, bacon, sausage...can you say calories?  Don't worry I ate every bite!
Yes I ate a lot this week!!! :)
These coupons were part of my gift.  I hope you can see the pictures, I can't help but smile at my cute man.
Then to top it all off my mom took me to Wal-mart last night.  One of my favorite things in college was when my mom would visit and take Tom and I to Walmart.  You get to actually look at all those wonderful things Walmart has to offer that you normally completely avoid.  Just hanging out w/ my mom was the biggest treat of all, but I can't tell you how fun it was to bring all my treasures home.  Thanks mom, I love you!
Thank you Tom for another amazing Birth-week.
The temple. 
I'm so grateful for the gospel.  I seriously don't know what I'd do or where I'd be without my testimony.

Camping at beautiful Vallecito

My mom took a bunch of her kids camping and fishing over the long weekend. It was so nice to be outside and w/ family, we really had a lot of fun. We've certainly all grown up, there wasn't any fighting!
Here Barry Michael and Stevie are getting ready to eat some breakfast.

Barry Michael and Tom went fishing in the gorgeous river. I love this picture that Tom took. These two were made to be fishing buddies!

My amazingly handsome husband. Have I mentioned that I love him? Just checking!

Boys Night

Tom and Jake have to have their turn and have a "boys night". It cracks me up when I walk in to see two of everything...tv's, playstations, Dr. Peppers, phones to text the cousins who aren't here and have to know the exciting updates, and of course the cheers or curses when one or both win or lose. Boys are funny!

Girls Night!

Last weekend Kassie, Rachel and I drove to Red Mesa to have a girls night/baby shower w/ our wonderful friend Heather! It was so fun! We gave ourselves facials, manicures and pedicures, ate till we were sick and then talked up a storm.
These girls are hilarious!

Our very pretty toes. Every time I look at my feet I think about how blessed I am to have good friends! Thanks girlies!
