The Only Ten I See....

This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity taking the Young Women down to Tennessee to Debbie's cabin. This was a reward for the girls for finishing the Book of Mormon challenge. Debbie was kind enough to offer her cabin, boat, air chairs, blob (as some of you may have seen in the movie Heaveyweights), tubes, ski, wake boards, pedal boat,food, and roman candles for all of us to enjoy. I cannot even describe how much fun we had so maybe the fun will come through in the pictures.

Happy Birthday Tessa May!!!

I am in complete denial that today is Tessa's birthday. One year ago today we were at the hospital and I was blessed with another amazing child. Tessa you are so funny, beautiful, chubby, sweet, smart, and happy. I am so looking forward to watching you grow up. I am so in love with you Tessa, you are the best baby ever. Happy first birthday.
