40 Years

My mom is now 40! But no worries, you'd never know just by looking at her. Lucky lucky...

We were graced by the presence of Jared and Lani's crew and Jan and Ethan.

We had DELICIOUS food prepared by my dad and myself. The menu? Turkey steaks, homemade rosemary fries, homemade potato salad, fruits, chips, homemade limeade and apple juice.

I made the cake and all I can remember is that it was chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. What can I say, I'm a female. There can never be too much chocolate. I remember mayonnaise too. I attempted to do 'ruffle' frosting, but the frosting was a bit runny. And then I ran out and had to make more, hence the different colors. But it was mighty yummy! My vocabulary is awesome right :)

And finally, the opening of gifts...

Fancy Art

At the end of July, Jenna and I took a couple of art classes from the art teacher at Cascade Elementary. We did two watercolor paintings. It was fun!

Adam Turns 15

Adam is now playing lacrosse, so that was his gift this year. And if you haven't already guessed, I love to make photos look like they were taken in the 60's. It's my favorite editing style. Just so y'all know :)

As long as it's not my prom, I'm good.

Jesse's Junior Prom
















Here are a few pictures of his Spring Fling as well...

Jenna's Baptism

Jenna got baptized the day after she turned 8. Lani and her kids, and Jan and her family came to support her. She wore one of her birthday dresses that is SO her.

Jenna Turns 8

I got her a Justin Bieber life-size stand up.


Which one is real? :)


This is Justin in our room (Jenna and I), and I'll admit that for the first couple of nights every time I opened my eyes, I thought there was a real person staring at me. And yes, I added that mustache. I just thought is was funny.
