Happy Birthday to My Mom

My Mom celebrates her birthday on January 6th. One of the best days of the year if you ask me. Just think without the birth of my Mom there would be no me. That would be a tragedy!! Ha..just kidding!!! I am grateful for the Mom I have and the things she does for me. She is quick to offer kind and motherly advice when I am stressed, worried, down or trying to make a decision. She is always willing to help when I ask and seldom tells me no. She is an amazing women with strong righteous faith. She has taught me a lot about the gospel through her living example. She is a good grandma, wife and mother. I want her to know I am thankful she has a birthday. You're the best! Love ya Mom.

A Possible Twin

Ever since my little niece Miya started getting older everyone in the family has been stunned to notice how much her and I look a like. When I was a little girl I had round little cheeks, a cute piglet looking nose and wiry platinum blond hair. My mom says I had quite the adorable personality to match. Well, turns out Ms. Miya is just about the same. She has the cutest little nose and cheeks and that same unmanageable wiry platinum blond hair. As far as personality goes let's just say she has her fair share of sass as well. She's adorable...my twin. What can I say?

Crazy Faces

I had to pull some crazy faces with a few of my nieces and nephews this weekend. We were all at my parents house for my Mom's birthday. I definitely think I won....Yeah??

A Shout Out

My sister in law Kim was upset because she saw no pictures of herself on my blog. I told her I had no pictures of her expect for one of her at Christmas when she was cooking us all food. She stole my camera this weekend and took a picture so I could put her on my blog. She is the best. She takes real good care of her neighbors...my mom and dad, she is always helping cook and plan menus. She loves to plan family trips and always does a great job. She is smart, works hard, is a good mom and likes to have fun. She is always up for a game or shopping trip or good laugh. I am glad you are a part of our family and around to keep my brother Eric in line. Here is your shout out, Kim. Thanks for all you do. You are the best.

Baby Wyatt Debut

Mr. Wyatt Merlin Turner made his debut on December 17th 2007. He is the 13th addition to my niece and nephew collection. He looks so much like his brother Jared. This makes him an Austin and Alysha boy for sure. And as the favorite Aunt I think he is perfect and absolutely adorable...that's because when he cries I give him right back to his mom or dad. One of the best privileges of being an Aunt.

Happy New Year

It's a brand new year. I can't even believe it. I am so excited. 2007 was one of the best years of my life. There were so many major changes. I started out living in Morgan the first part of the year, working in Sandy. In April I moved to Salt Lake and started working in Layton. In May I started working with Bret and Adam. In September I bought my own home and moved to Bountiful. How crazy is that? I am soo excited for 2008 and all is has to offer. Of course the usual resolutions come up...Lose weight, cut back on Diet Pepsi, etc, etc. You know the drill. It will be a good year. I can feel it in my bones.

I had a great time ringing in the new year with some new found friends of my from my singles ward. I have to admit though once the clock hit about 12:05am I was ready for bed. Luckily for me cute Sarah was around and forced me to stay up until at least 1:05am and then she agreed to take me home.


Would like to wish all of you a very happy and prosperous new year. Let the games begin.
