Today is our 18th Anniversary!

Today is our 18th Anniversary...can you believe it? Where does the time go???

Jeff has been working in Las Vegas for the past 2 weeks, and he is still there, so to help ensure that this day was still special, a little package arrived today...some See's candy, 2 cards, and beautiful roses! He conspired with the kids, too, and Jacquelynne has been working on a special dinner and dessert...How did I get so lucky?

Just like everyone else, we have had our up's and down's, and maybe even some times when we weren't sure that we would make it...gasp! I know! But we've kept marching on, and after 18 years, and 6 kids, I can say that I do feel lucky! I feel lucky to have a husband that honors the priesthood! I feel lucky to have a husband that strives to take care of his family! But most of all, I feel lucky to have a husband that loves me and supports me and desires to make me happy (see us in Hawaii below) !!!

Happy Anniversary! I love you!

Zoe...Our Big 7 Year Old!

Hard to believe but our little Zoe turned 7! Her birthday was on December 30th and she got to have 2 days of celebrating! The night before we had a ton of fun at Jump On It, a huge warehouse with wall-to-wall trampolines. Our friends, the Pearcy's, were here from California and hung out with us the whole week, so they got to participate in the jumping madness, too! (I'm still waiting for more pics to arrive via email...hint, hint!) It's totally chaotic there with people trying to make baskets with foam balls, jumping off various islands into the middle of tramps, and all sorts of acrobatic manuevers...you might even find a mom, or two, trying to do flips! The kids love it there!

Then Zoe and Dad kept the Birthday Breakfast with Dad tradition by going to IHOP in the morning. She returned to some presents and lots of cards from family and a day of sledding! (Pics later) Then it was her favorite dinner, tacos, and a huge chocolate cake!

She is getting so grown up and is an awesome student and big sister to Jaymison! We love you, Zoe!
