March Already!?!

My friend Ally was in town this weekend.
She lives in Idaho...and we REALLY REALLY miss her:(
We had fun catching up with the girls @ Applebee's.
By the way...she is pregnant!
So are all my highschool friends...
And Bettina...
And April...
And Crystal...when are you going to get a blog!?:)
Tara & Chloe(Catherine's baby), Me, Parker, Catherine & Ally
------

Sunday was Stake Conference. My brother Rob & his wife Julie also had Stake Conference. Their's was at 10am, ours was at 1pm.
Solution to enjoying Stake Conference with KIDS...we watched their kids while they went & they watched Parker while we went! We actually HEARD what the speakers were saying...
it was nice.
That afternoon, my little brother Tate & my "adopted" brother Brian(my sis-in-law Julie's brother...who lives with my parents)were ordained Elders & received the Melchizedek priesthood. My dad is amazing & gave such sweet blessings to both boys. They both had a lot of friends & family there to support & then we had a DELICIOUS dinner of homeade subs:)
I CANNOT believe they will be putting in their papers to serve MISSIONS this month!!!
My mom made a DELICIOUS strawberry cake to help celebrate my cousin Belinda's Birthday!
PS...my cousin Belinda is INCREDIBLE!
She lost her husband 3 years ago & has carried on with so much faith.
She has a son serving a mission in Hawaii & a daugther in Jr. High.
She is the BEST cook in the world.
She always dresses SO cute & you'd think she was 20 yrs younger than she is!
She got me my 1st job.
She is an amazing mom & her & her kids are best friends.
I can call her & talk about ANYTHING.
She is CONSTANTLY serving those around her.
Her house is SOOOO cute!
Did I mention she works 3-ish jobs & NEVER EVER stops going. She can do ANYTHING! She is amazing. A person should NEVER have to go through the trials she has gone through...but she has...
and never complains.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELINDA!!!
Parker had so much fun "riding" on Granny's walker(despite his face-I couldn't get a good one of him smiling)
ALL the grandkids wanted a turn after Parker:)

It was a great weekend:)
