Happy Birthday Mike O!

Happy Birthday to Mike! He is how old?? Mike loves to tease, all of the nieces and nephews love him because he teases them. Mike is an awesome dad to Lexie and Maddie. We love having him as part of our family. Mike stays so active. He always has a project...ask Emily she knows all about those. If he doesnt have a project he is biking or running... anything to stay active. We should all take after him. We hope this birthday is a good one. WE love you.

24th of July

The 24th in Washington was hot and sultry as usual. Grandpa and Grandma Lay were the grand marshall for the parade (representing our ward). Hailey and Abbey got to ride with G&G Lay in Uncle Therans Jeepster. Hailey needed a bonnet so Grandma Christiansen made her one (talk about being spoiled)! It was fun despite the heat. There were games, food and races at the park after the parade. Later that night we had a BBQ with Neils family.

1 semester down

I survived my 1st semester back to college. I do not recommend a summer math class at 7 am. I am excited to be able to sleep in a bit for the rest of the summer (what is left). Although, I got to see the sun come up every morning walking to class, I think I will miss that. So I will enjoy this brief break and hit it big time in 4 weeks. If I stick to it and everything goes as planned I should be done May 2012! Yeah!

Justin is also getting ready to go to Dixie. He is at Freshman Orientation today getting registered for classes. I know that we need to take the same math class. I told him to get the same time as me. LOL Would you be embarrassed to be in the same math class as your mom? That might be wierd. Maybe we can just share a book and he can help me with my math. He is good at math. He helped me with this summer's math class that I took.

RJ

Happy belated birthday to RJ on July 16th. We hope your birthday was a good one. WE love you!

She is a good business owner as well. She has ran her own successful business for many years! We hope your birthday was a good one!

Neils Birthday

Happy Birthday to Neil on July 4th! I think he had a good day! The 4th of July is a good day to have your birthday, you always get it off. Every year he will go down to the park for the 4th of July celebration to buy a cherry pie for his birthday. You have to get there early because they go fast and some years we dont get there fast enough . Of course mom always steps in and makes him one!! But this year he got one. We also had a BBQ with his side of the family. And then we set off some fireworks. WE Love you Neil and are so glad you are part of our family.

Anna

Happy Birthday Anna!!

Anna is our sweet, loving, patient, hard working, non stop sister. She is always fun to be around and is a good friend. Anna is an awesome mom! Always supporting her kids and doing fun things with them. (Like Rodeo) WE hope your birthday was a good one. We love you.

Happy Birthday

Aaron is turning 6 today! He is the most handsome 6 year old, with his blue eyes and long eyelashes. He is awesome at riding horses and roping! Aaron always has a long list of girlfriends, be sure to ask him who they are. He said that for his birthday dinner they were having, fruit, pasta, and London Broil. YUMMY!

Happy Birthday Hailey!

Hailey had her Birthday on Sunday the 17th of May. She turned a big 7! For her birthday all she wanted was to get her ears pierced. She was so big and did it! She is so excited now to turn eight and get baptized. Hailey had her piano recital last Saturday and did such a good job. She didnt make a single mistake on her songs. SHE WAS AWESOME! Also Grandma and Grandpa gave her the most beautiful quilt for her bed. We are so lucky to have someone that can do that in our family.
