Happy 1st Birthday

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO MEAD!!! He is such a little man. We love him so much and dont know what we would do without him. He is so happy and loves people. He also loves to crawl in and out the dog door. His chance to escape! We hope you practiced your blowing so you were able to blow out your candle! We love you Mead!

Happy Birthday Mike

Happy birthday to Mike! WE hope it was a good one. Mike, Nikki and Mead have been in Montana so we havent got to hear h0w the birthday went. We are glad you are part of our family!

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 Birthday Nikki

What a cute girl! Happy Birthday on the 11th. I got to spend a good part of her birthday with her, we went up to Carrie's baby shower. So, I hope she had a good day. We want Nikki to know we love her and she is an awesome person. She is a great friend, aunt, sister, mom etc... all the neices and nephews love Nikki. She has a big heart and shares with everyone. 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.
