It's a Birthday Week!!

My Fam is all about the Aug B-days! This week especially we have three! I thought I'd give a shout out and a little b-day love...

Blake-O's

Blake's b-day was on Monday. I can't believe he's already 11! It seriously makes me feel old. (I feel old saying something makes me feel old...anyways....) Blake is one of the most fun-loving kids I know. He is always in a good mood. I can't wait to see what he decides to do when he grows up because he always has some invention, business, or scheme up his sleeve. He is so creative. He has always been so willing to help anyone in need, and he is a hard worker. I love the kid! I think my favorite memory of Blake is from a few years ago when we were making an alphabet video to send to the utah grandkiddies. We all had planned parts to say and then all of the sudden on Blake's turn he just comes out of nowhere with this stand-up comedy act, off the fly. It was SO funny. He has such a great sense of humor, and yet he is still SO kind hearted! Love you blakey!!

Tyrone

Tyler's B-day is on Friday. Ty and I go way back....Let me preface by saying; I have never seen anybody with SO much patience with children. Really...with any kids...his own or not. He is an incredible dad to Harper and Elliot, might I add. When I was little Ty used to sit with me and count my penny collection. OVER and OVER. I think he pretty much did whatever I wanted him to...he's that nice. He really will do anything for anyone. I remember being completely broken-hearted when he went on his mission. I love the relationship that Ty and I have now because I feel like we have the same sense of humor. We just laugh all the time. He can make anything funny, and then we just build off of eachother. One of my favorite memories with Tyler is from this past winter when he was kind enough to go snowboarding with me. You should know that he is like pro, and I'm DEFINITELY still learning. We spent the day in a blizzard, pretty much freezing, but laughing the whole day. Tyler was such a good teacher. He was nice enough to wait for me when I fell...about every 5 seconds, and he really helped me improve. It was so fun. Tyler is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I know. Happy B-day and I love you ty!!

Lindsey-Lou

I don't think anyone's called her that for like 15 years, but it just came back to me so it's officially out of retirement ;) Linds' B-day is on Sunday. Oh how I love this one :) Linds and I have been side-kicks since I can remember. From the days of our matching Gap Kids attire to now, I think i've always been her little shadow. Lindsey is one of the most on-the-ball people I know. Ever since I can remember she has been clean, organized, goal orriented, driven...etc. etc. etc. I can still hear my mom..."Why can't you just keep your room clean like Lindsey does...." My mom always jokes that Lindsey has been my "2nd mom" all my life, and it's so true. She really does take care of me! Even still! She is such a caring and thoughtful person. She is so in tune with the way people are feeling around her, and she is always doing nice things for people. Like seriously...ALWAYS....I don't know how she does it. I feel like it was Linds and I at home together for the majority of my growing up because we were the youngest, so I have an endless list of favorite memories with her. I remember when I was like 11 I would wake up in the middle of the night scared, and without fail every night i'd go sleep in Lindsey's bed with her. It was a twin, mind you, and every night she'd let me. She's that nice. I love all our shopping trips and dinner outings. We always laugh and have such a good time. You're amazing Linds. Happy B-day, and I love you lots!!

Yep...my family is amazing. Happy B-day you three!!
