water babies.

the lovely babies and family went for a swim on saturday. it was a perfect day.

another year.

yes this past weekend i turned 24 years old. for some reason i wasn't so excited about my birthday this year. each year gets less exciting. i was actually hoping to skip over the whole thing and celebrate the countries birthday instead of mine. turns out, i had the best birthday that i've had. i was overwhelmed by how many people remembered and sent me lovely texts and phone calls. thank you to all of you sweet people in my life. starting out the birthday with church was better than expected, then coming home to notes all over the house from my cute roomie emma, next off to the parents for delicious food and even better company. my family that i never get to see also came to celebrate with us. this weekend was perfection and i have my beautiful family and friends to thank. i love you.

tiny dancer.

my lovely niece kennedy performed in her first dance recital. oh how i love this girl. she looked so gorgeous and did her dance just how she practiced. i'm so happy i could be there. i love you my kennedy.

happy birthday to you.

on may 24th my sweet dad turned 64 years old. we celebrated with the whole family including my best friends. i have to say how grateful i am to have such a wonderful father. he has been everything that i could dream of in a dad. i thank my Father in Heaven every day that my mom married him. he's not only a perfect father, but is quite the husband who suits my mom perfectly. they are the perfect example of a truly happy marriage. thank you dad for all that you have done for me in my life. i love you so much forever.
ps. you don't look a day over 40.

yes that hair color is all natural.

i love my parents.
