Alisha's 15th B-Day...

So today my youngest turned 15 and now has her learner permit. YIKES! 

How Did time go by so fast!?!? 

 Of course Grandma S. came by earlier and then the A's came to celebrate with us. Earlier we took Ryann and Alisha's friend Ashley Z. to Mi Ranchito for her birthday dinner. Then Uncle Steve and Aunt Jen came over for some cake. It was a good time.

 Silly Taisha.

 We had no caaandles so we lit matches. This was quite tricky and we had to havae a lot of people to help to make it work. Why do I always forget candles? Duh Desirae.

 Ryann came up with the cutest idea for a gift. She had a lot of friends and family members write a note for her to open on a day she needed it.

 Happy Birthday Alisha!!! We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

We gave Alisha a nook for reading and going online, a water bottle from Skyler, and other fun stuff.

Ice Castles...

I decided to take my family (Skyler was busy) to see the Ice Castles up in the city I would love to live in...Midway. I know now that I should have waited awhile because they are constantly adding new ice, but it was fun. The girls feet froze walking around in the some times deep ice shavings. It was a little slippery and got in your shoes if you were not smart like mom told them and wore their tennis shoes instead of boots.

Then we had a very expensive dinner in Heber, with our good friends that also went, that was gross. Won't make that mistake again.

 I sure miss having a young boy around. He is so much fun and so funny! We all love him.

 Erica and Scott. I love his heated coat! (note the red light on his jacket.)

H couldn't stop licking the ice. Gross!

Look how pretty.
