Derek and I met in high school and I instantly fell in love. Derek took a little convincing, which came back around to him when he was trying to get me to marry him. He did, however, convince me and we have now been married for six and a half beautiful years. We have four wonderful and crazy children: Dathan, Blake, and Savanna, and Macady. I can't believe I'm old enough for this paragraph to be describing me.

Blake's Birthday

Today was Blake's 3rd birthday. He had a fun day dispite beginning it by popping a 2 foot size balloon in his face. The back hoe cake was a smashing success. Blake had a good time "helping" to make it. He had a hard time waiting for family to come over and eat it with him, with it just sitting there on the counter, waiting to be eaten. Blake is an eater. I was happy he chose hot dogs and chips for his birthday dinner. No set-up and no clean-up.
Of all the exciting presents Blake got for his birthday, this was the only one he reacted to, the bike helmet. It is a sign of being big, I guess. Dathan has one and he just thought he was so cool to have one now, as well. After all the initial fun of the presents, Derek found Blake in the kitchen with his helmet on, singing, happy birthday to Blake, etc. Blake enjoyed all the cards and phone calls. I got a special kick out of Spencer and Dallin. They sang and halfway through Spencer breaks it off saying Dallin wasn't singing right and started again. I was crackin' up! Thanks everyone!

I'm sorry I missed you too! I was the laziest thing this vacation...I had the flu for the first part and spent the second part sitting in the sun reading. I'm not sure when we are coming down next, but I can never stay away too long...so, I'll see you soon!
