Happy Birthday To Me..And Danielle!!

Well I am officially a 16 year old. I don't have my license yet because I don't have my permit yet. But I am working on it. Danielle and I celebrated our birthday's on my birthday because we never did anything for her on her birthday. We got a farm animal cake which I was sooo excited for. Danielle wasn't to ecstatic about it but I loved it.

It rained on my birthday which I was really happy about because I love when it rains. And at sunset we had a double rainbow and it was fantastic and I got lots of pictures of it. Thank you for all the birthday wishes it was a good day.

Fish Lake Weekend!!

This weekend Deven and I got to celebrate our birthday's a little early since neither of us would be with Kathy and my dad for them. D and I wanted to go up to Salt Lake but apparently it wasn't really our decision so we went to Fish Lake. We invited our 2 cousins Ryann and Kena. We had a blast. We sat around the table and played BS for a little while the first night and went on a Rhino ride the next day while it was still raining but it was the best Rhino ride I've been on in a long long time. I miss it. We went out to Sheep Valley where my aunt and uncle have their land with their cows on it and went riding out there for a few hours. We went up the mountain while Ryann, my dad and Kathy were all in the Rhino, Deven and Brexton were on one 4-wheeler and Kena and I were on the other.

Well as we were riding up the mountain I was driving behind D the whole time in case i needed pointers on how to drive through certain spots (which helped a lot) we were going up a hill and the road was wet and muddy it was like snot. We were trying to drive up this hill and my 4-wheeler wouldn't make it up so I slammed on the breaks and we started sliding back ever so slowly and that was probably the first time in my life I have ever felt like I was gonna die if I didn't figure something out fast. I looked down at the speedometer and realized I was only in 3rd gear. I switched to 2ND and we made it up the hill like it was nothing.

After we got back to camp Deven and I took the 4-wheelers to a river not to far down the road to wash off the wheeler's cause they were soooo muddy. We washed those off, went back to camp and took the Rhino back to the river to wash it off and ended up spending more time down there than planned. We ended up taking pictures of us going through the river and how "clean we were getting it" even though the motor was probably getting washed out more than anything. We took it back to camp then went back to the cabin after eating dinner with the rest of the family.

We left on Sunday and met Deven's step mom is Cove Fort so she could take him home with her. The girls came home with us and I stayed over at my dads for another 2 nights with them before they had to go home. When we got home it was pouring rain and I walked outside to find my father washing the rhino in the pouring rain. Made my whole day.

It was such a funn weekend and a good birthday. I miss D and I'm proud of him for getting his license.

Family Pictures

This is also a little late but here they are. A few weeks ago when Rilee was last down we went out and did family pictures since the only ones that we had were from the wedding. So we all went out and did some. We all wore black or gray shirts, long pants and some of us wore a little bit of yellow as an accent color. They turned out great. They are also on my facebook.

Daxton's Birthday Thomas

Sorry this is a little late if anyone didn't get the memo its been pretty hectic around here for the past couple weeks.

Daxton had his 3rd birthday this past month on Sunday June 24th. Or as he called it his "Birthday Thomas". He had a Thomas the train birthday party cause Thomas is his favorite. Danielle and I went over to the spinney park at 5 p.m. to help Allysa and Josh with the decorations and setting up to make sure that everyone was happy and out of the sun as much as possible. While Danielle and I sat and watched Allysa try and fail to put up streamers, I ended up having to get up on Josh's shoulders while he walked up and down the sidewalk as I instructed him to do so while I was hanging up and taping them to the poles. After that we were both sweating cause it was so dang hot outside.

Everyone then started to show up at 6 p.m. and we started the party. Daxton was soo excited to see every person that showed up. He had a lot of funn with the party stuff like the things that you blow in other people's faces. He was gettin a kick out of that it was the funniest thing. We had a lot of people show up.

We had Josh's parents, Josh's grandma, Allysa's grandparents, grandma and grandpa Sappington, Josh's cousin and her 2 kids, Josh's little sister, his brother and his girlfriend, and much much more. We sang Happy birthday to you to Dax and he ended up singin along with everyone ha. It was so cute. He blew out the candles, and right after he blew them out, got a sad look and said "again". After we had cake he ran over to the table where all his presents were and demanded to open them "right now please". He got lots of toy cars and Thomas trains which he was so ecstatic for and wanted that one to be opened and out of the box right then.

After presents we had a pinata and he had a lot of funn with that and telling the other kids to "get it" "hit it harder" "ohhhh yaaa". It was funn to watch. Then everyone was getting bored and tired so we all started to clean up and people left. We were the last ones to leave and help clean everything up. It was so much funn to see my nephew turn 3. It still feels like he's 1 sometimes.
