Happy Birthday Bryan!

Today should be Bryan's 26th Birthday, unfortunately his life was tragically cut short by a helicopter crash in Afganinstan in May of 2006. May 5th will be the two year anniversary of his death. It is still very hard to belive that he is gone. I knew Bryan since we were ten years old. He was a great guy. I will never forget all of the fun and crazy times we had together. He helped me become the person I am today. I often think of who I would be or what my life would be like if I didnt know him. I love you and miss you Bryan!

My Birthday Party

While we were in California my sister was nice enough to plan a birthday dinner for me. We went to B&F sushi. Im not a big fan of sushi, but we are friends with owner and my sister, brother in law and their friends are regulars there so it was the perfect place. We had a great time. I was happy that the I got to see everyone I love. Here are some of the pictures.

Happy Birthday Dustin

Today Dustin (my brother in law) is 26! Happy Birthday.

Family Pictures

Today I decided I wanted to take more family pictures, so we decided we would try to take them on our own like so many people we know have done that and the pictures came out great. Ours however- not so much. I wanted to take them outside but it was kinda cold. So we tried a couple inside. Here are a couple that we got, im not happy with them so we are going to try again on Saturday.

Cute pictures

Lately I have been a little busy and haven't had the time to post the newest pictures that Kaden has taken at Kiddie Kandids. So if you haven't seen them yet here you go! As always he is the cute-est boy ever :)

Mickey mouse

As most of you know, we are going to California to visit family and have a vacation. While we are there we are going to Disneyland so Kaden can have his first (of many) Disneyland experiences. He is so excited and cant stop talking about it. As some of you know I hate clothes with characters on them, but I promised my mom that I would allow Kaden to get a Mickey shirt to wear to Disneyland. So today Kaden and I went to Target and found a Mickey shirt. He was so excited that we had to call my mom and tell her and also send her a picture of it. He really enjoys talking to her on the phone its cute. So anyway after we get home I go to hang up the shirt and a couple of other clothes we bought and he threw a big tantrum because he wanted to wear the shirt now and go with grandma to the "mousey's house" To get him to calm down we called my mom so he could talk and then she tells him he can wear it. So basically I was over ruled and here is a picture of spoiled Kaden in his new mousey shirt! Im such a pushover when it comes to that cute face.

Happy Birthday Lisa

Today is Lisa's birthday. Lisa is my mom's best friend, but is more like family. She is such a nice person and has always been there for our family. Happy Birthday!
