My 28th Birthday

So I just had a birthday and well, most of you know I'm not big on birthdays and I don't do much to celebrate them especially my own. Thanks goodness I have a sister who loves to celebrate. My sister and her cute kids and I went to the fun park to celebrate. Daxton kept on insisting that I wanted to go bowling and play lazer tag for my birthday. I didn't really care what I did as long as I got to play with them it didn't matter and especially cause I wasn't at work; even though they threw a pretty awesome party for me there as well. Anyway we went bowling and played lazer tag and some video games and it was a blast.



My way cute Friend Kydee came along with us. It was fun having her there though I'm pretty sure she didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to come cause she was then stuck with us the rest of the night. After hanging out at the fun park for a couple of hours we met up with my mom at the Olive Garden for dinner and that was a ton of fun and it was good food as always. They had them sing to me and bring us these new delicious doughnuts they have with chocolate sauce can I say Fattening but worth it.
It was a great day and I want to thank everyone for making it so great I really appreciated it. Kids Klub girls you were great thanks for the gifts and the decorations and the party I really had fun even though I wasn't there very long I really enjoyed it and appreciate all your hard work I love ya tons.
I love ya Bre and Kydee and my cute little nephews and niece for a fun day as well and making it memorable.

These last set of pictures are of me and my sister, we get a little silly when we get together and sometimes out of control but that's why I love her.

Wow, Can you believe it I'm finally updating my blog, and well its still going to be behind. For spring break my Friends Kydee and Ashlee and I headed to vegas for a couple of days. And well, I would like to say it was a total blast but it really wasn't. It was fun to get away but I would have rather stuck to the original plan of heading to Zion National Park. Maybe next time I'll remember Vegas isn't so great. It was fun to spend time with my friends and take time off of work and school though. Thanks Jennie for letting us crash at your house and thanks Uncle Kelly and Aunt Mary Ann for feeding us.

Baby Brielle is finally here

Okay, I know I'm way past due on a new post but I haven't had anything really fun to post until now. Anyway, as many of you know Bre finally had her baby, a really cute and beautiful little girl born January 9th. He name is Brielle Brooke Boren she was 7 pounds 8ounces and she is the cutest bundle of joy ever.

Every year the first weekend in December my family heads to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple square. This year there was a lot of things happening on the first weekend for most of my family so it was just a small group of us that made it to the lights. My mom and I got to take my sweet nephews Myles and Wesly (Brock and Amy's boys) and we met up with Bre and her family. We got to eat lunch in Layton with Brandt and his Family Saturday afternoon but then they had to head home. It was a CRAZY weekend in Salt lake with a basketball game, a MoTab concert and lots of other things I'm sure. The worst part was finding parking of course but once we got on Temple Sqaure it was so peaceful and beautiful it really put me in the Christmas Spirit. My favorite part was the Reflection pond. This year Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus were sitting in the middle of it with floating lights all around and with the relfection of the Temple in the background it was just Beautiful and really brough the true meaning of Christmas to life for me. I'm so grateful for the blessing of the gospel and though the season gets a little crazy and commercialized I'm glad that I have the true meaning to focus on and to cherish the greatest gift ever given. The gift of our Savior and elder brother Jesus Christ. I love this time of year and the relfecting I get to do and the happiness I have because I have the gospel in my life. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

UEA Weekend

For UEA weekend my cousin had his mission farewell so Bre, Steve,the boys, mom and I decided to take a road trip and head to mesquite NV for the farewell. It was so fun. We left Friday afternoon and took quite the road trip. Lets be honest I was a little nervous to travel with Bre's kids and it was actually a really good trip, the boys were great. We got to Mesquite quite late so we went straight to the hotel. Saturday we headed to my cousin's house and met up with the whole family. My cousin's husband Joe builds sand buggies and so we headed to the sand dunes with the whole family and spent the day out there. It was so much fun, I'm not sure who had more fun the boys or the adults. It was a blast. After we road the buggies tons and tons we decided to head to the dunes and just play in the sand, that was a ton of fun the sand was so soft and the boys loved getting dirty. It was a ton of fun to see all my cousins (especially the girls) which unfortunately we don't get to see very much and when we do, we don't really get to for very long. Anyway it was a really fun weekend and it was really great to get out of the valley and just have a fun relaxing weekend. Thanks Joe and Tosha and Aunt MaryAnn and Uncle Kelly for tons of fun.

Canyon Adventure!!

Okay so yesterday I took my cute little nephew McKade up the canyon on a nature walk for an assignment I had to do at school. It was so much fun. We stopped at McDonald's on our way and got a kids meal and then we headed up to third dam and had a picnic. We then went and explored the many trails that intrigued him picking up many colored leaves on the way. We were gone about an hour and a half and decided to head home to make a picture out of our leaves and to finish my assignment. When we got back to my car it had a FLAT tire. I was so bugged and Mckade was quite worried we would have to sleep there. But thanks to my wonderful older brothers that taught me how to change a tire I told him he had nothing to fear. Well, I was somewhat wrong. I had just taken my car in to get it inspected and they tightened all of the lug nutts on the tire and well tightened one of them way to tight. We were quite the sight jumping on the tire iron and all. Well I finally had to admit defeat and go and ask for help. We found a very nice gentleman camping who gladly came to our rescue. It took him a good fifteen minutes to get the lug nut loose but he finally did and changed our tire for us. McKade was so excited that we didn't have to sleep there and that he could take his new caterpillar Fuzzy home and put him in a jar. Well it was a very adventursome and fun day. McKade and I wrote a book about our trip and let me tell you it is the cutest book ever.
I just love my family so much and love having them all so close. I have the cutest neices and nephews in the world and I'm so lucky to have them all here in the valley and to have such wonderful siblings that allow me to kidnap there kids and play with them and have one-on-one time with them. They truly are my best friends and its always fun to spend time with them.
