This year we told Jake he could invite a few friends to go bowling with him for his birthday.  We went to Jack & Jill's in American Fork.  Devin & Isaac Cunningham, Kreed Trane, Dillon Trane, and Keegan Wilkinson came with us.  They had so much fun.   Kreed bowled an amazing 127 beating me by 1.  Dillon bowled 106, Devin bowled 98, Keegan bowled 93, and Jake bowled 92.   Ryan and I gave him Lego Star Wars.   They came home and played them the rest of the night and first thing this morning.  

Today in Jake's class I brought in chips and cupcakes.  The kids sang Happy Birthday BYU!  to him and he got a crown.  His teacher Mrs. Hobbs told him that 6 years ago he was still up in heaven with his Heavenly Father.  Later that night he told me that same thing.  What a wonderful thought to have on your birthday.  To know that you have a Heavenly Father and that he loves you.  Jake we love you and are proud of you.   Happy Birthday!

Saturday

The boys had a fun day today.  This afternoon they went to Luke Sorenson's Harry Potter birthday party.  they had a blast.  They have been playing with their wands all day.  Brooks turned me into a dog.  Then we hit McDonald's and they got a kids meal.  Which is there 2nd favorite thing to do.  Later that day we went to see "Horton Hears a Who"  with Tonya, Caycee, Wyatt, and Grandma Cherri.  It was such a cute movie.  My mom laughed through the whole thing.  I think we laughed more at her laughing at the movie than anything.  We went to Grandma's after and watched the Jazz game and ate ice cream.  What a fun day!  We didn't have days like that when I was a kid.  All we did was work work work.  Ha!  Grandpa Don reminded Jake to take Wilbur home.  Thanks Grandpa.  For those of you who don't know who wilbur is refer to the picture.  Don bought it at one of the animal auctions for Jake.  Jake has been so upset that he left it at Grandma and Granpa's.  Now he resides at our home for anyone who wants a closer look.  To top off the day Dad took the boys to Hollywood video on the way home and they each got a gumball.  

This is Ryan and I at the Phoenix Suns Jazz game on Friday, March 7th.  It was a great game.  The Jazz won.  I don't remember the score.  We were sitting in the Vemma - Verve suite.  
The Suns dancers came up to our booth.  We went with Jeff and JaNeen and Crystal and Chris Armstrong.  Crystal is a Jazz dancer.  Of course we think the Jazz has better dancers.
We were just getting wild and crazy on the streets of Phoenix.  

Vemma Convention

Ryan and Jeff have done really well with Vemma.  They love having larger than life pix of themselves.  They took pictures of all of our families for  "Success Home" magazine.  It was really wierd to see yourself in a magazine.  
Jeff, Jason Peterson, Ryan and I don't know who the other guy is.  They all got these "really awesome" jackets.  They had a great time in Vegas.

Christmas Pictures

Christmas 2007.  I just took some pictures of the kids by the Christmas tree in there Christmas outfits.  The boys loved having there pictures taken.  Aubrey wasn't so hot on the idea.  Jake is 5, Brooks is 3, and Aubrey is 16 months.
