This post is a little late, but in this case it really is better late than never!  Last Tuesday, the 23rd, my dad celebrated his birthday!  I feel like my birthday is pretty lame now that I am getting older, so I can't even imagine how insignificant it must feel when you are that old.  Not saying that he is THAT old, he is actually fairly young, especially for being a grandpa!  Anyway, I just wanted to give him and shout out and tell him how much I love him.  He is the absolute best dad in the whole world.  He is such a great example to me and I am so lucky to have someone that is so incredible to watch and admire.  Being Bishop I have been able to see a side of him that I rarely saw before... his "soft" side!  I love how after 22 years I am still finding out new things about him that make him even more amazing.  I love you more than I can show, dad!  Happy Birthday!

Birthday Boy!

I just thought I would say happy birthday to my favorite little brother, Taylor!  I offered to make him a cake, but all he really wanted was a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  Psh.... However, we did get him one of his favorite movies... UHF.  He turned 19 on the 18th, and I seriously can't believe he is that old.  I feel so much older than him, but I swear my 19th birthday was like, 2 weeks ago.  Taylor leaves for his mission in 2 months and we are going to miss him so much!  There is not a party without Taylor because he IS the party!  He is so much fun and is some dang good entertainment.  We'll just have to enjoy him while we've got him.  Happy Birthday T-bone!  We love you!

HAPPY HALF!!!

My brand new baby turned six months old on Monday, and I can hardly believe it!  It seems like we've had him forever, and that he just got here.  We went to the doctor for his check up and he made us (especially Josh) very proud!  Kai weighs 17 lb. 13.5 oz, which is in the 58%, and was 28 inches, which is in the 93%.  Happy Half Birthday Baby Kai!!!

Labor Day Fun

After delivering the birthday cake I did on Monday, Josh had a great idea to go hiking somewhere.  We originally thought to go to Zion but on our way there we decided just to stop and hike the Red Cliffs.  It was a little hot, but luckily there was a slight breeze coming through that saved us!  The scenery is so amazing out there.  I think we forget we live in such a beautiful place until you take the time to actual go and enjoy it.  Josh packed Malakai the whole time and I could barely keep up!  He acted like he was taking some dinky nature walk or something, and I was behind him wanting to just die at some parts.  In the end I was so happy we went, and so glad Josh didn't let me wuss out.  We had such a blast just being able to hang out all together!  Cheers to Labor Day!
