A tribute to my brother


























Yesterday was our 30th birthday! I know, I can't believe it either! So I took a moment and looked at all of my scrapbooks and realized there is no one greater I would have wanted to share my childhood with. People always ask me what's it like being a twin. And I like to tell them "Well you always have a best friend." And it's true. I rememeber hours and hours of games we would make up, going on adventures into the sagebrush, and as we got older it stayed that way if we were bored we would just find something to do together so childhood was never boring. But it got better as we grew up. Shortly after high school I went to college in Rexburg and he would make special trips up which meant a lot because I was really homesick! When he got his mission call my mom threw her life into high gear so I could be married before he left and he could be there. Kyle and I even snuck down to see him on his mission. There are so many memories of us together. I am really grateful for Michael. He is a strong valiant spirit! I believe we were best friends in Heaven and Heavenly Father just knew I couldn't make this trip alone. So he let Michael come with me. He has been there through so much of my life the good and the bad. Even though we couldn't be together for our birthday celebration I just want him to know there is no one I would want to celebrate it with more than him. Love you Mikey!! Happy Birthday!

Savannah Turns Two!

I can not believe my baby turned Two on Friday! It seems like she was just born. Anyway, we had a small gathering of friends and family to celebrate the occasion. The theme was Strawberry shortcake. I picked this theme because I came across this amazing cake that I wanted to make her and it turned out so cute! It was Kyle's Dads birthday too and Shana lovingly volunteered to make him a cute cow cake you can kind of see in picture #4. I'm hoping Shana posts a better picture because it was sooo cute!
