Happy Birthday Kenny!!

I will never forget…

How you would always pick me up and carry me when I was little. You’re the best!!

I will never forget…

The times when you would wake me up in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping and ask me if I wanted to go shooting with you. Mom and Dad probably never knew this (sorry to rat you out!)... but it was soo fun! I loved holding the spot light for you the best : )

I will never forget…

When you left on your mission. I was still pretty young and I remember running to the mail everyday and with every batch of letters from you there was always one just for me! It would make me so happy... I won’t ever forget it.

I have always looked up to you so much Kenny! Thanks for always being there for me and for all the advice you’ve given me. I love you so much and I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Love, Krista

Mason's Trip to the Dentist

Last week Mason, Lena, and Andrea came to visit me at work! This was Mason's first time at the dentist. For a 2 year old Mason was AMAZING! He practiced opening his mouth for the dentist the whole week before.. He did great! He got his teeth cleaned... he even let the dentist look in his mouth!

He really liked watching Cars while he got his teeth cleaned!

Lena layed with him for a bit of support:)

Guess What? No cavities! Woohoo! Good Job Mase!

After his trip to the dentist Andrea and I took him to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point for being such a good patient!

You were my best patient Mason! Can't wait for you to come again.. I love you!

Gooo Suns!

About a month ago I got to go to the Suns vs. Jazz game with Brandon's family. It was soo fun and I definitely have to admit I have become a Suns fan wooo!

Right before the game Brandon and I had a great idea to make shirts. With only an hour to make them we hurried and bought everything we needed and made them in the trunk of my car.. even though they were still wet when we were walking into the arena, we were very excited and proud to show them off:)

Happy Birthday to my sweet angel Duane!
I love and miss you so much! I am so grateful that we are sealed together forever so I can be with you again. I feel so lucky to be your aunty!

Oh and I know you already know this but.. you really do have the coolest parents ever!

I have definitely been slacking on updating my blog! Here are some things that we've been up to since I last updated it...

Brandon had his birthday!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

For his birthday I made him a book of all his mission pictures.. it turned out pretty cute!

For Christmas my parents got us snowboarding passes...
We have put them to good use!

Thanks Mom and Dad! You're the best!

We've gone shooting...

Mase Mase turned 2! He LOVES fire trucks (he calls them weeeo weeeo's) So Andrea made him the cutest fire truck birthday cake. Mason loved it!
Lastly, we made a quick trip to Arizona for Scott and Ashley's wedding.. it was beautiful! All of Brandon's friends from high school were there too.. it is so fun to see them all together!

Baby Lena James

My first baby niece...

Mark, Andrea, and Lena headed home to go see Mase..

Mason is such a loving big brother.. He gives Lena 1,000 kisses a day and is always checking on her to make sure she is okay.
