Happy Birthday Mattison!

My little niecer just had her 1st Birthday the 26th! (read about it) I can't believe that she is already ONE YEAR OLD! Crazy! but i love her SO much!!!! She makes my life so much happier! I think she is the cutest thing ever (i'm not biased or anything haha) and i am so happy she has joined our family! LOVE YOU MATTI!

I was just playing around with my moms camera the other day and these are a few that i liked of our little matti! :o)

She DOES love her mommy...and Daddy too! ;o)

Haha...the sprinkles! Jonni wanted to try and see if sprinkles would stick to her lips...and they kinda did! So she gave Matti a kiss and this was her reaction! :o)
I love this one! She is so beautiful!

Just messin' around with editing...

Splish Splash i was takin' a bath! I just can't resist this adorable face! :o)

Her Birthday party is this Saturday, so i will be sure to post some pictures! :o)

Eight Legs

Ok...creepiest thing! We stepped out of front door the other night and saw THIS! It was a huge wolf spider (or somethin) making it's web...
And here is a better look at the spider...

I do not enjoy spiders...and they sure aren't my friends! haha. Does anybody actually not mind spiders?

Ring Ring

Yay...it has arrived! My new Blackberry tour! :o) I have always been on my Dad's Business plan...but he told me it is time that i start paying for my own...tear! haha. So i got to upgrade my phone and i chose the Blackberry. So far i am liking it alot, but it is also very confusing. I just really need to sit down for a few hours and read the manual and play around with it. I hear everyone loves them...i'm excited! :o) [p.s. if you have a blackberry and got any tips for me...go ahead and share them!]

So, what kind of phones does everyone else have?! Do you like it, or ready for a new one?

Haha...How many more uses to get to the end of Jonni's eye liner?! :o)

Class of 2010!

My little sister is all grown up! Today was her first day of her Senior year of High School! :o) Good luck this year JJ! Love you!

OR does your ward do anything that i should pass along and try for my ward? IDEAS WELCOMED! :o)

Happy Birthday to YOU...

So why is finding a Birthday present for my Dad SO dang hard?! Every year we struggle with what to get him...he has gotten so much stuff that he never uses, that it just collects dust in the corner of his room. So this year me and ally wanted to get him something...but again the question of what?! We thought about Glenn Beck's book "Common Sense" (but they didn't have it in audio at Target and lets just say that he hasn't read a book since 5th grade. ha), cute T-shirts he could wear to work, TV series DVD episodes, etc. AND THEN i had this fabulous idea of getting him a new phone cover for his blackberry since his clip broke. Finally something he might actually need and enjoy! :o) So we go to an AT&T store since it was by Target, even though we have Sprint, and of course they didn't have it! and my mom said "why don't we just ask them if they know where the nearest Sprint store is?" whaaat? are you serious mom...this is another company, we aren't going to ask them! haha. me and ally thought it was funny. so we finally find a Sprint store and of course they didn't have it either...dang it! So i guess parpy wasn't getting anything from us! haha. But we did end up going to Wood Ranch for his Birthday (most delicious place ever) and eating tons of their yummy garlic rolls...mmmm! (guess i wasn't counting my calories today!) and lauren, matt and jonni ended up finding the audio book for him. and today we had a special dinner for him with a chocolate, mint and chip, ice cream cake ally made...it was absolutely DELISH! :P Thanks sister!

Anyways, we had a great weekend celebrating our Dad's 50th Birthday!!! As jonni put it, "he is half way to a hundred! wow!" haha.

LOVE YOU PARPY!

The ice cream cake...yum!

haha...love his face! blowing out his candles :o)
