Everyone enjoyed seeing you as a teenager.
You're the best. We love you mom.
Mom, You moved! Your a home owner...again! Your new home is gorgeous, you've done such a beautiful job remodeling and decorating. Everyone appreciates all you were able to graciously give to us. Thanks mom.
Still no pictures of the new house...but we do have moving pictures.

Brody entertained by all the busy bodies and big furniture.

Mom's Rockin' Pad

Hey guys! If you haven't checked it out yet, Mom now has an awesome new house!! It's about three blocks over from the old rental, but it has quite a different feel. A better neighborhood, a better exterior, and a way better interior, thanks to all of Mom's design/decorating talent. It really is beautiful with a warm paint color, pretty wood and tile floors and white (!) carpet. Everything looks wonderful, and once the boxes are unpacked, we'll post some pictures! YAY Mom!!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Happy Mother's Day. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera to commemorate the occassion, but we had our first annual Mother's Day girl's night this year. You, Nino, Autumn, and I went out to dinner and movie after stopping by to visit with G.G.
We drove around some cool houses on the Beach in New Port and then we officially kicked off the night with a dinner at the Quiet Woman, we had really yummy food and good conversation. We laughed and thoroughly enjoyed your "sternum" story. Then off to the movies in fashion island. We unanimously decided on "The Visitor", which we unanimously decided was a pretty boring movie, feeling like it was twice as long as it really was. Allie even fell asleep, but amazingly enough, you didn't. What did you eat? That's so out of character.
But it was a fun evening out with the girls! And it is now our new Mother's Day tradition. Love you Mom!
"God planted within women something divine."-Gordon B. Hinckley. Jane Clayson Johnson wrote, "It is that divinity that makes women nurturers, that encourages a woman to pursue motherhood-even when it means sacrificing her own comforts for those of her children...and loving those children with a fierceness and loyalty that is incomparable."

Feeling like a Kid again!

What better way to get one year older than to party like you're not a day over 15!
We had a really fun birthday bash for You, Rick, and Laiza. We started off at Fudruckers for dinner. The kids tore it up at the arcade and Autumn stuffed her face with the wonderful Costco birthday cake that Nino bought.
We then headed over to LaserQuest. A place where you've allowed our family to have so much history. Christmas time we'd go there with our friends and family and play some crazy games of laser tag. The place hasn't changed much...it was still very fun. You put us all to shame ranking 8th place. Above us all "Big Mama". Thanks for having a birthday to give us a reason to kick like it was 1995 and to have a night to remember.
