FAMILY

A family picture we took at my parent's birthday visit with our stubbs shirts. I wanted to post it once my sister sent it to me. I love my family :)

Mom & Dad 60th Birthday Surprise!

This month both of my parents turn 60. So my sisters and I have had this birthday surprise planned for months. We would all show up at their house without them knowing, ring the door bell, and start singing happy birthday. It has been hard not to slip when my mom has called these past few weeks to talk to us, but we pulled it off with a lot of little white lies. My sister shana even made us all stubbs shirts to be wearing when they opened the door. I have never seen my mom and dad so surprised and so happy! Especially my mom. She was so giddy the rest of the night. She couldn't stop smiling and laughing. She told us it was the greatest present she could have ever recieved as she shed a few tears. I was so glad we were able to do this and make my parents so happy! It was a fun weekend!

My dad when he opened the door. Then he called for my mom to come see who was singing to them.

My mom so surprised!

My mom coming out to greet us with open arms!

The stubbs shirts shana (my oldest sister) made from picture of a sign in provo that my sister Jessica found.

I love this picture of my parents with their birthday cake! They were so happy!

Joe's roomate get together

Today Joe and I went to a get together with all of Joe's old roomates, from the year and singles ward when we started dating and got engaged. Attending was all the wives as well, we just mostly sat there and listened to the boys look back at old times (many of the stories I've heard over 3 or 4 times, but still funny for them :P). It was a lot of fun listening to them laugh and act like a bunch of boys again. It was fun seeing Joe so happy with all his boys. Cool thing is all of us including the wives were in the same ward. We all found our spouses in that ward. Except two of them, who are still looking for a wife. :)

Phoenix

These past few days I enjoyed going to phoenix to spend some time with my family and watch sheila's (my sister's) kids in the Aloha Festival.

This is my neice (Aisha) and my nephews Hayden and Packer enjoying a movie before bed. Hayden is a huge teenager like boy now. It's so crazy!

Jessica's Birthday

Joe and I made a birthday dinner for my sister Jessica's birthday. We ate enchiladas with salad and black beans. Then we had cake (which joe made). We were sad we didn't have any candles, but it was really good so it made up for it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

Game night

Joe and I had game night over at our house with Joe's sister susan and her husband sterling, and also a friend talia. It was fun! The girls decided to have a little more fun than the boys with our crazy hair dues! lol

I love susan's face in this one!

5 months down

This is me to date. I am 5 months pregnant and I keep getting bigger! Little Jace is quite the wiggler! He likes to let me know he's around.
