Reed's birthday
Reed had a very nice birthday. We had to have it a few days early. We wanted everyone to come that could. Reed loved all his gifts. He is all set for college now. He has a ####### cookbook, school supplies, money to buy what he is missing, games to play with friends, a blanket and a computer. He is thrilled. 

Scritpure Mastery night was Thursday the 25th. We had over 130 students show up. They all seemed to have fun. I know that this is blurry but this gives you an idea of a small section of the gym that was filled with Seminary students doing their scripture mastery competition. As for me I am just glad it is done!!!!!!!

We had a small birthday celebration for Brett the night before his birthday. Noone was going to be around for his birthday, including him. So we celebrated at 9:30 the night before. Brett and Reed came and helped me clean up the Scritpure Mastery activity and then we rushed home to have brownies and ice cream and open birthday presents.  

Brett's first birthday cake is the funniest one ever. He had left over brownies from the Scritpure Mastery night. 

Our family can never do just one birthday. Here is Brett's second birthday that was on Sunday. We had a much better turn out to this party. Good thing we did two!

Blake had his girl friend Ari over for Memorial Day. She had lunch with us. Blake, Mickayla and Ari played the game Pretty, Pretty Princess. Of course Blake won. Then the group went out to play a game of air soft. You notice Mickayla in the back ground. She wanted so much to be a part of the big kid group. Air softing is not exactly a little girls game. We did decide this was a test for Ari though. If she was to left winged to play with a gun she wasn't for Blake. She is a very nice girl. We enjoyed her. 

Blake and Ari made cookies together. Mickayla was never very far from them. 

Reed went to prom with a great girl. They were so cute together. Sydney is telling a story, she really isn't sticking Reed. I thought it was a funny picture

I think Erin has a better one of the two of them at the White's House. They are so cute. 

I made Sydney's corsage. It turned out well. 

This is all the kids in Reed's Prom group. There are 7 couples in all. They went in the limo to dinner and then to the dance. Then they went to one of the boys homes for games and food. 

They are ready to head out in the limo 

And they are off on their adventure 

BLAKE is 16!!!!! WOW. He is happy to be 16. He only wishes he could drive. I think he would be out on a date if he could drive. He had a great day I think. He got a MP3 player from his sisters. HE was really surprised! He also got a new air soft gun. He had girls make him a cake and cookies. That kind of attention is always nice. He is going to be a lady killer. 

Erin, Mickayla, William and I went to the beach this last week. I hope Erin puts up some of her pictures because they are better than mine. We had a great time at the beach. It was awfully hot. It was a lot of fun. 

Reed helped Mickayla finally break her pinata. She got it for her birthday 2 years ago. She had Maddie and Cloie over. So I guess this was a mini party.  

The girls are having fun swinging at the pinata.  

Dad has a new best friend. He sits down and Miss Kitty is up in his lap asking for some loving. He lays down for a nap and she comes and joins him. He says she keeps his feet warm. They had a good two hour nap on Sunday. They both enjoyed it very much. I want you to notice the pretty princess blanket Dad is using. Doesn't it fit his masculine body? 

Married life has done wonders for Candice. She has really matured and became so dignified. Really Mickayla was taking pictures of everyone. I deleted my picture really fast. I am sorry Candice, but I couldn't help it.
