Girls Trip! (plus Kooper)

This last week some of my friends and I went to Palm Springs and spent the night. We had a blast!! The place was so nice we should have stayed several nights, not one of us were ready to come home! The only thing that was missing from our amazing trip was our good friend Lauren and her two little kidos, Ethan & Kate...Next time you guys are there for sure!!:)The kid pool was great, it was only a foot deep, so the kids loved it, especially Sienna:)
This is Koopers new girlfriend, they were sharing crackers and dipping it in cheese and then dipping their licorice in cheese...how romantic!!



He is such a boy... do you see the girls throwing the foam pieces on the slide... NOOO... they are laying by the pool getting their tan on like good little girls!!!
My cute little crazy haired kid!!!

Just relaxing in the Lazy river.
And to top it all off my friends surprised me with balloons a happy Birthday sign and the most delicious cupcakes in the world. Thank you so much, you guys made the trip, I couldn't ask for better friends!

In loving Memory...

Fifteen years ago today my little brother Cody was hit and killed by a car, it was honestly one of the hardest days of my life. For some reason some years are a little easier than others, I always miss him but I think as time goes by it still hurts you just learn to deal with the loss a little better. Today has been a little harder than others, I really think its because I now have a child of my own and to even think about something like that about rips my heart out. The love that you have for your own children is unexplainable and I have no idea how my amazing Mother made it through that difficult time. She is such an example to me and I'm so thankful for her courage of getting through that when at times I'm sure that she just didn't want to go on. I'm also so thankful my knowledge of the Gospel, and the comfort that it gives to me to know that I will see him again. Love you and miss you Cody!!
