My Sister

Today is Courtney's birthday! When I was little I hated this day, mostly because my birthday is just 4 days later. I was a brat and so mean to her. Well now that has all changed (Good thing I am a little old).

Courtney is one of my best friends! We have been partners in crime for as long as I can remember. She has been the best little sister anyone could ever want. When we get together we can be crazy!

Some of my favorite memories are:
The week before I was married we made the best cooking video EVER!
Laying in the back of the boat and just talking and making up constellations!!
Godfathers Pizza!
Gas Stations!
Parker's!
Playing Church!
Camping!


I love you Court! Thanks for being the best! I don't know what I would do without you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Grand Concert PGJH 2011

Holy Cow!! The grand concert was amazing! I absolutely loved the final song! The Choir, Orchestra, and of course Band all preformed "When you believe" from the Prince of Egypt. I had cold chills, it was so touching and amazing!

I am so proud of Sidney she worked so hard to get all the pieces down. She played in the jazz band, the symphonic band and also the big group. Why to go Sid!! You did awesome!

One Good Sandwich

When Sidney was a baby we would go to this cute little sandwich shop that was just a little hole in the wall. One of the best things they had was a vegetarian sandwich. Well the shop has long ago closed but we still make those sandwiches on our own. This weekend Eric and I took the sandwich to the extreme. It really isn't a vegetarian sandwich here because we toasted cheese and a thin layer of turkey onto the sandwich then we put all the veggies. Yummy!!!

Blue and Gold 2011

Braydon's last Blue and Gold and Hunter's first award.

I think the night went great. Brother Petty did a great job telling the history of Scouts.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Last weekend we took the kids to see the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. We read the Narnia books about 5 years ago. We fell in love with the stories. This is the first set of books that we read as a family. Hunter was only 3 at the time. He still loves the stories. We really enjoyed the movie.
