Happy Birthday to ME, I'm 53!!!

 My girls did a beautiful birthday dinner for me.

The grandkids love celebrating birthdays, so they loved singing Happy Birthday to me and spoiling me.

I feel so blessed to have my wonderful family.

I have been blessed with great children who married incredible spouses and had the most precious grandkids.

I am also so blessed with my husband. He is the best and always makes me feel so loved.

Jeff and Cambria took me to Sakura to celebrate

Wedding Invites are going out and we are so excited!!!

They turned out so gorgeous!! Sydnee wants it to be like Boho Chic and lots of fun ideas.

She wants the colors to be Rust, Cream, Sage Green

All of the bridesmaids will wear Rust

The groomsmen will wear Khaki pants,White shirts & rust green ties

I have my To DO list and I've been working on it since a week after the proposal.

Sydnee and I were discussing what she wants to serve for dinner and she said Hawaiian Haystacks. That's pretty easy but I better make a list of all the toppings and start shopping for them.

I first started with the Costco Rotiserre Chicken and I would buy a few at a time and then debone them and put them in a ziploc bag and freeze them. 

Then there was a caselot sale and I got a couple of cases of cream of chicken soup.

It was funny how everything was falling into place and sales here and there so I had pretty much all of the food, plates, silverwear, cups, napkins all taken care of by October.

Then I could work on the photographer for Bridals and wedding day. 

It was awesome and I didn't even feel stressed. I think I was just savoring all this planning since it was my last child getting married. 

 

HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY Cecilee!!!

Happy 29th Birthday to my second born, who brings so much JOY to our family!!!

She has a beautiful family and fantastic marriage, a successful hair business, a beautiful home, and a sparkling PERSONALITY with a great testimony of the gospel.

What more could you ask for, she has been so blessed!! I feel so blessed to be her mother. She always drops everything to help me; she does my hair and lashes without batting an eye. 

I appreciate & love the woman that she has become, I am so proud of her. 

Sydnee got ENGAGED to Riley Allen!!!

Sydnee got engaged to her best friend, Riley Allen. We couldn't be happier for them. Her best friends: Kelsie Anderson and Holly Axtell made it happen and was able to Facetime our family so we could watch from Utah and Connecticut. She got engaged on a ferry boat in Washington.
