Memorable Memorial Weekend

Two McDonald’s breakfasts at 7:00 am: 10 dollars

Gas to Tacoma, WA: $35.00

Spending a much needed weekend with your family, outside, dinner on the patios, church, and memories: EXTREMELY and UTTERLY priceless!

It was a great Memorial Day Weekend! Joe and I came in Friday afternoon and left Monday morning. The boys went golfing and it was fun to watch them tee off at Hole 14. Avery and Jackson are stinking cute! Unfortunately Kory, Avery and Jackson had "shotty booty" (if I am saying it right) Saturday night and Tiffany had to stay home on Sunday... too bad!!! =)

Enjoy the pictures!

This isn't the most flattering picture of us (especially my huge face) but I love my sis' nonetheless

Avery said in much frustration "Now I just need my bikini and lounge chair NOW"

Avery's Elvis face is PRICELESS here or myabe its her "I can't stand when Auntie Jamie comes to town because I get my picture taken constantly"

She loves being outside!

Dad, Mom, Joe and I went to the driving range and whacked some balls

I tried to get a good one of Avis Pavis and her mom...

Love you mom and dad!

I absolutely love this smiling lil' dude

Hi Brother I love you!

Look at the handsome "twins" not YANKEES, geeze Kory

Avery wanted to eat her Corn on the cob, that lasted about 5 minutes until it was thrown in the chair next to her!

Just loving my niece!

Two years since graduation?!

Last weekend was NNU graduation. First off, I am SHOCKED that i have been done with college for two full years now! I can't believe it. We had a fun, yet exhausting weekend. Saturday night we had a graduation fiesta for Paige right along with pinatas, sombreros, chili pepper lights, and delicious Tacos with Mexican beers. Sunday was the long boring process of keeping myself occupied for three hours as I waited for the two second they would call Paige's name!

Nonetheless, Paige I am so proud of you.

I made some letters for Paige. Tiffany did this project with Avery's letters and Krista's initials. Here are the supplies that I got. Red and black printed papers, modge podge, buttons, stickers, velvet flowers, and a P and K wooden letter. I layered different strips of paper on the letters and then glued them on. An exacto knife was used to cut around the edges (be careful, the brand new ones cut the wood, opps) and then made the flowers and embellished with buttons. It was a super fun project and Paige loved them. I think this is a great gift idea for ANYONE!

Happy Mother's Day!

Radiant, athletic, nurturing, best friend, hero, listener, encouraging. number one fan, mother, wife, daughter, grammie, hugger, kisser, funny, beautiful, amazing, tiny, and so important.

These are just a few of the words that come to my mind when I think of my mom. She is one of the most amazing, supporting, loving people in my life. I thank God everyday for blessing me with a mom who loves me for me, my mistakes, and accomplishments. One day I hope I can be half the woman my mom, Ludy, is.

Happy Mother's Day mom, I love you! Here are your traditional Gerber Daisies since I can't be there yet!

I LOVE YOU!

Busy as a bee!

Here I am, still alive in Idaho. 8 hour classes, moving, work, coaching, and birthdays have been the extent of my life the last month. Paige turned 23 last week and the 4 of us girls took her to the Cheesecake Factory and shopping. The weather was so warm that we all dressed up in fun summer dresses! The next night, Joe, Allison, Paige, and I went to El Ta Nampa and celebrated some more! Last weekend left me stressed and exhausted. Aren’t weekends supposed to be relaxing? Friday night we started moving our stuff over to the town house we are leasing starting this month for a year. For many reasons, it was in our best interest to move out…. Saturday I had class from 8-4, then came and moved some more. We got everything into the house and celebrated with a champagne toast. I spent Sunday organizing my room, setting up my bed (FINALLY) and unpacking. Enjoy the pictures of the new house. These are primarily for my mom who really wants to see them!

It is a townhouse that we share with another twin on the left. Paige's room is with the balcony.

Here we are with my window at my back. The walls are a light olive color. To the left of my closet is a sink. Then the toilet and shower room joint Paige's room and mine together.
From my hallway looking towards my bed and window

Our kitchen and family room. SO SPACIOUS!

Our kitchen. Marble counter tops with TONS of cabinet space. That birth announcement of Jackson was the first to go on the fridge!

Looking with the sliding door at my back. The door in the middle of with the half-circled window is the front door. To the left of the front door is the staircase to me and Paige's rooms.
