Breakfast in bed, beautiful flowers, Diet Coke on ice, 27 dresses, an afternoon nap, Early Bird Special at Hamilton's, miniature golfing with friends, and a freeze at Casper's... what more could I ask for? I am the luckiest girl in the world... thanks sweetie for making my birthday so wonderful! Love you!











Oh... and a kitchenaid too! My first batch of bread and I love this machine! What a great gift!

What a beautiful baby!

Introducing Jaycee Layne. My sister had her baby on Tuesday and she is adorable! We were able to go down four hours after she was born and hold her, snuggle her, and love her. We even got to be there for her first bath. She is so adorable and we are so excited to have such an adorable addition to our family. We love you Jaycee!

Happy Birthday Babe!

Happy Birthday! This year I stretched out Mark's birthday over three days! It started on Thursday and ended on Saturday. He got a surprise visit at work on Thursday from me with birthday balloons (notice how it is a train balloon, Honks was not so reliable this time.) Friday was breakfast in bed, opening birthday gifts, lunch at the Braza Grill, and chillin at home watchin the Jazz game. Go Jazz!!!

Saturday the boys went golfing. I was Mark's designated golf cart driver. We had so much fun! Mark is quite the golfer these days... watch out Tiger :) I had so much fun spending time with my dad and the birthday boys!

Let the Birthday Countdown Begin!

Our Sweet Grandma Taylor

Mark's grandma passed away this week at the age of 91. We are so grateful for the opportunity we had to see her and spend time with her just one month ago. She is such a sweet lady and lived a full life! At the age of 91 she caught the senior citizen bus each day for lunch and activities, she also went dancing once a week with her cute friends. What an amazing lady she was, we have so much to learn from her example and legacy. What a blessing the plan of salvation is in our lives, we truly feel blessed to have this knowledge that we will get to be with her again. We love you grandma.

Our Tradition

*Warning: This may be a little sappy...
I am the luckiest girl in the world! Mark is my best friend and totally gets me, not only that, but we have so much darn fun together! When we first started dating I wasn't working (summer break) and we began the tradition of having lunch together everyday. Once again this week we enjoyed lunch in the lovely old Buick (by the way it is for sale, if you are interested.) Babe... thanks for making my Spring Break fantastic! You are the GREATEST!

My Cute Little Sis!

My cute little sis is the greatest! She is in her first year of college up here, and it is so much fun to have her five minutes away! She is so cute and we have so much fun together. Today we went went shopping to the greatest store Real Deals (thanks Jaci) and out to lunch. Chels, I love you and am so grateful for your friendship!

American Idol!!!

Okay... we have to confess that we LOVE American Idol! I love Brooke White and as I was watching the show tonight I was SO EXCITED to see her make it through, along with adorable David Archuleta.

We think Paula needs to practice speaking in complete sentences, Randy's bracelets have got to go, and Simon is brutally honest!
