Braxton…

My nephew Braxton turned 12!! Happy Birthday! While they were visiting here in Utah, he received the priesthood! I am so proud of him! Crazy to think he is already 12! Seems like just yesterday he was sneaking over to our apartment from his to see my fish and hide from his mom!

This is a great group of men who were all able to be a part of the ordination!209

and of course….after his ordaining….we ate!

Brynn….

This is who I got to play with on the 18th!  She is one of my favorite people to play with!  We decided to have a park day since it was so nice outside!

She was making me laugh so hard.  She kept telling me to push her high, but when I would grab the swing to push her, she would freak out, but as soon as she was soaring, nothing but giggles!

The slide made her VERY nervous, but she did finally make it down a few times!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy KyLeE!!

 

The kids had no school Monday, so we decided to have Kylee’s birthday party that day.  Kylee wanted to have it in the morning and have the kids wear PJ’s.  So we had a pajama pancake party!  Her is her cute group of friends!

Kylee blowing out her candle on her pancakes!  They had ice cream and sprinkles and chocolate chips!  They sure had fun making them!

I am so glad that I get to be Kylee’s mom!  She definitely brings a lot of fun and laughter to our house!  She is amazingly smart!  She gets so many compliments from teachers, both school and primary, about how good she is.  I am so blessed by her!

An AMAZING man!

Josh’s Grandpa Persson passed away on Sunday.  I feel very lucky to have known him.  I only got to know him for 11 years, but I LOVED his big happy smile!  It was really fun to hear the stories about him at the funeral today…to hear a lot of things I didn’t know about him.  It was also really awesome to see the veterans show him honor.  Those men are amazing, and its really neat to see them respect one another.  It was snowing and SO cold outside, and still, there they stood to give grandpa his honor.

We LOVE you grandpa!  We will miss you!  So thankful on days like this to know that we WILL be with our loved ones again! 

A great Memorial for Grandpa….
