Scary Chelsey

How Do I Love Thee...Let Me Count the Ways...

1. Your melt my heart, chocolate eyes

2. How patient you are with me when I take you on my ridiculously long shopping excursions.

3. That stubborn, leave me alone while I suck my thumb to comfort myself, face.

4. How you eat everything I put in front of you--even fruits and veges (now how many parents can say their kids do that?)

5. The way your face lights up when you see me after a long separation.

6. How you are ticklish on every square inch of your adorable body...and the hilarious laugh that comes with each touch.

7. Your chubby cheeks, hunky love handles, darling dimples, infectious smile, and sweet spirit.

8. The way you cuddle up with me on the couch when your tried.

9. How much you are learning and growing everyday and patiently enduring through your developmental trials.

10. I love knowing that I get to have you forever...

Happy Birthday Chelsey!

So my not so little sister Chelsey turned the big 11 over the weekend and we of course had a pool party for her (and 20 of her crazy friends). My mom went all out as usual on the invitations, decorations, cake, etc. It was a summer/flip flop theme and the colors were bright orange, hot pink, and lime green. It was a blast!

these only took about 87 hours to make



my part in the party was making these yummy treats





some pool game fun



My mom's wonderful decorating skills came in handy on the cake and my multi-talented aunt Debbie fashioned the bow in about 30 seconds flat.

Utah Trip

Like we do pretty much every summer, our family took a vacation to good old Utah. We had a blast playing family games, shopping, catching up with old friends the Lovelace's, swimming, visiting family, watching Brendan play volleyball, and of course our family tradition of checking out BYU. Here are some of the highlights:



Jake's first time bowling...didn't care too much for it



Aubrey thoroughly enjoying herself







Ashley and I



Temple Open House



Loved the slides



Soooo... cute!

Believe it or not, this did not end well.
