Happy Birthday to ME!

Okay I know it's a little cheesy but I just have to brag. Today I am getting the best birthday present ever. That's right I am spoiling myself and getting... are you ready? You may want to sit so when you find out you don't pass out and hurt yourself. I am getting


GRASS


Yeah! I am so excited. No more growing weeds. No more mud pies in the kitchen, on the carpet or on my toes. Thanks to a wonderful sister who happens to know the best landscaper in Utah things are going to be greener. I couldn't have done it without you Jake and D. I love you guys so much.

FREEDOM!

Free! I am free.

No more training wheels. No more little baby toys, no more depending on mom and dad to get me around. I am able to go wherever I want, as long as I don't go past the stop sign one house down.
Luke asked Chris to take his training wheels off. He kept getting nervous so we bought him a new bike helmet hoping that would motivate him to ride. The next day he got on and has not stopped since. Porter came to visit and tried out Abbie's motorized scooter. Every time he came he would go straight to the garage and start riding. Those two would not stop.

I couldn't get a decent pic because they would not stay still long enough for me to try.

Happy Birthday Preston!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESTON!!!
I can't believe that you are 11 years old, in boy scouts and almost as tall as me. It has been so much fun being your mother. I know I'm not perfect but I want you to know that I love and care for you deeply. You have been my best bud for the past 11 years. It has been so much fun being a part of your life and watching you over the years. You have always put other people first, been cautious, sincere, and always forgiving. Hope you had a great day.

Preston with his new hiking backpack for scouts. He will no longer be going to day camp but on overnighters. I am so excited for him.

If anyone has a conversation with Preston than you know he has lego on the brain or maybe just a lego for a brain. This is one of the sets he has been asking for. Glad we could get it for him.


Preston you star. Here he is at his piano recital. He loves music and has a knack for the piano. He is able to sit down and pluck out a song without any sheet music. Ask him to play "The Entertainer" for you and he will. Granted it is only about 20 seconds of the song, but he has never read the music for it. Figured it out by himself. Pretty awesome.
Happy Birthday!!
Love,
Mom, Dad, Mads, Abs, Luke Skywalker
