Me and my sista you can tell by the look in her eyes how much she loves it when I make her take pictures with me!!!
My Birthday was very close to MLK day so we had a four day celebration! It was so fun! thanks to sara for letting us come up and play! We had a blast....like we always do. Whenever we get together we think of a million things we are going to do and then we always get about half of them done before we are out of time! Oh well! Thanks to jordan and cass, for having an early Birthday with me, we had planned for more to be there but it just doesn't work out when we are all over the state! All in all I had an amazing birthday! But I am sure next year will be even better! HA HA 21 baby!

Looking Back on 2008!

I always feel like when a new year starts I get so caught up in making ridiculous new years resolutions, and forget to look back a recognize all of the great things that happened in the last year so I though I would do that! Here are some of the fun/crazy/exciting/stressful events of 2008!

Well my new years eve started of pretty low key. I just wanted to stay home and play with the fam, but my friends convinced me to go to a Redneck/White Trash Party it was actually really fun even though I was not as dressed up as everyone else! Here are just a few pictures! ENJOY!

FuN fIlLeD WeEk!














Ever since Christmas my family has been inseperable. It seems that every night we all up at my house eating anything and everything, and playing the wii or singstar! It is a blast we all fight over who gets to play first! It has been so much fun, we also went bowling. Then on Sunday it was Dexter's farewell, there were so many people there. He will be such a great missionary! We will all miss him a ton though!
