Mom

I know this post is a few days early but i just had a few things on my mind and i feel i need to vent. Vent isn't the right word but you know what i mean. First of all i have to tell you that about a month ago my Grandma Meek was hospitalized in congestive heart failure. Since being released she is a permanent resident with my mom. My mom left for D.C. last Thursday and left me in charge! I am grateful for the opportunity to help my mom out in any way I can and to help my grandma out as well. I have such an appreciation for my mom. I don't know how she does it! She has a way of dealing with things that amazes me. I seem to crumble very easily. She always keeps a level head in the mist chaos. I don't know how she does it! She was meant to have six kids. Growing up I always thought Mom was the bad guy she was always soooo strict. Now i realize she did a damn good job(sorry mom)! Tonight Owen spiked a fever and i freaked out. No matter how many times he gets sick i worry that something is really wrong and that i am going to miss it and not do the right thing. I know I can call my mom no matter what time it is and she is always a sound of reason and comfort. Emotionally, i am spent with Owen, drew and grandma. I know all of my siblings still rely on my mom and yet she is there for each of us when we need her. Thank you mom for being the best example of what a mother is. I love you!

This was Easter in St. George! We had a great time with the barnett family!!!

Last week Kelly was here on break and it was really hot so we went to the beach a few days in a row! The second day we were there we were surprised by Karalee and Austin!!!!! They just strolled up the beach like they lived ten minutes away ( after driving from Arizona) It was the best surprise EVER!!!!!!!!!


Classic!!! All the boys picking their noses!!!
We went to Disneyland on Friday for Owen's birthday! We had quite the crew!! Lucas, Dalon, Austin and Drew all there for the first time!!! The boys loved every minute of it it was really cute to watch!
Jared and Coleen and the kids met up with us in the late afternoon and all the boys just love having uncle jared around!!! I love that they all had to raise their arms for Pirates!!!
When I asked Owen what he wanted to do for his birthday he told me he wanted a monster cake... This little cake was really fun to make!!! Kelly said she wanted to pinch the monsters cheeks all day!!!!


Owen is still obsessed with the dodgers and manny ramirez so he got the manny wig!!!



Drew enjoyed the party as well!!!!


These are just some cute pictures I took last week!!!
