Lately...

So, it's been a while and a lot has been going on lately.

1. My dearest Auntie Al took her life. I miss her more than words can say! She wasn't married and didn't have any children, so she treated my sisters and me like we were her little girls. I have so many fun memories with my Auntie Al. She was such a FUN, OUTGOING, KIND, GENEROUS, LOVING, SILLY person and I will always remember her by those wonderful qualities! I have felt comfort through reading "After my Son's Suicide: An LDS Mother Finds Comfort in Christ and Strength to Go On". My mom's best friend wrote this book and it has so many comforting scriptures and talks from general authorities in it. I am still reading it and I would recommend it to anyone who has gone through such a terrible tragedy. I love you SO much Auntie Al!!!

2. My Auntie Al's funeral was on my birthday. But we just tried to pretend like my birthday was the day after my real birthday. For my unofficial birthday my sweet Darrin took me out to Cheesecake Factory for Dinner (YUUUUMMMM!!!!). They sang happy birthday to me and it was really awkward because they got my name wrong. They sang the wrong name and wrote the wrong name on my plate (see picture.) haha. After dinner we went of to "Hidden Falls Hike". The "falls" were so hidden that we weren't able to find them :(. But Parker loved going on the hike! He loved being in the outdoors and listening to all the sounds and feeling the breeze while being in the baby bjorn which he loves :). My BFF Marta also took me out for my bday. We had dinner at Whole Foods and then had gelato for dessert. Delicious. Thank you Marta! And my mother also took me out to breakfast on my unofficial birthday. I had a lot of fun-thank you mom!!




3. Darrin's Birthday was yesterday. We went to Tucano's for Dinner and then went SURFING!! We went to "Flowrider" which is in Ogden and it's an indoor surfing place. SO awesome! But boy does it hurt when you biff it! haha. SO worth it though! We had a ton of fun. HUGE Thank You to my sweet Mother in Law for babysitting! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!





4. Parker is so much fun! He's 3 months old this week! Here are a bunch of cute pictures of my little man:
