Memorial Day Vacation

Memorial Day this year was alot of fun and what

a better way to spend it other than with family..

We went down with Nate's brother matt and

his family and our good friends Tassie and Jeremy.

Nate's dad bought a house out in St.George

and we have been loving it..It's been fun to go

down for the week and go swimming,shopping,

hiking,biking you name it. I just love St.George

The first night we got there we wanted to take the kids

swimming but the weather was too cool and windy

so we ended up taking the kids to this restraunt that's

kind of like the Mayan and it's called pirates pizza the

kids loved it and had alot of fun the whole restraunt is decorated

like a ship with pirates everywhere.

The next day it was nice enough that we went

swimming the whole day it was fun and the kids had a

good time and I loved it even more because that night they came

home and crashed.

The last day we took the kids and let them run and hike on the

rocks and I know the boys really enjoyed it especially

when they had little lizards running around everywhere

gross!!!!!

The trip was great and just what I needed

I just wish it was a little bit longer..

Happy Mothers Day Mom...

This mothers day was so nice!!I can't think of

a better day to spend it. It first started off with

the morning with Jordan coming in saying Happy

Moda's day mom do u want you pwesents!!It was

so cute. I am the luckiest mom in the whole world

to have four healthy beautiful children who I adore

I am so blessed to be there mom. I have learned

that being a mom is not an easy job but it is the

best job I have ever had..I now know what my

mom went through to raise us and the sacrifices

she went through to make us not go with out. I just

want her to know how much I love and appreciate

her..Also the day before mothers day we decided

we would do the breast cancer walk in honor of

my grandma Dodds who has been a survivor! But

we showed up that day and We didn't get to do

it because we didn't know we had to register

before the event. My sister Lacinda did it last

year and she just told us you show up and donate

money to the cause..Well I guess they changed it

this year least we know for next time..But we still

had alot of fun supporting the cause it was me, Heather,

Tassie,LaCinda, and Tami.We got pink shirts and cheered

people on it was so neat to see all the families out there

supporting each other even men there was alot of guys

wearing pink I just thought that was so awesome!!! And

it was also nice just having a day out with the girls...Even

though we did have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning..

What an Amazing day.

WOW!! My little girl is finally baptized

and everything went so good I couldn't have

asked for a more perfect day. It's weird because

life just goes by so fast it just seems like we

just had her. I knew that day I was going to cry

but I think crying was an understatment.

I was so emotional the whole day I don't

even know why I put on makeup because

it didn't stay on. I am so proud of the decision

Aubrey made to get baptized she is such

a special spirit in our house she is always

reminding us that we need to read

our scriptures or say our family prayers.

And since she has been baptized there

is such a glow about her and innocence I almost

can't explain it but I am so truly greatful

for this gospel and the knowledge that

we have to know that one day we will live

with our father in Heaven. I hope Aubrey

knows how much I am greatful for the gospel

and what it means in my life and I do know

that families are forever. I am kind of bummed

though because I didn't get to take any pictures

of Aubrey and Nate in there white clothes because

the bishop started conducting right away, oh we'll

guess I'll just have to go back and just stage it and

take them anyway...poor Nate he hates pictures.

But least I know Aubreys game..I love you baby girl

always remember that no matter how hard life

gets you can always count on me I will always

be your number one fan...
