Happy Birthday Kara!

Is it 40 this year Kara?!!! This is my sister in law, Kara. She is with her second oldest son, Nathan, and our nephew, Angus.
I love Kara!! She just seems to get me and I appreciate that. She is a busy woman. She is awesome at visiting the old women in the ward and always checking up on those who are in need. She is a wonderful mom of 6 kids, one on a mission. She is an excellent wife to a great bishop. She is the queen of exercise. She has beautiful hair and always looks cute. We don't chat much but when we do, we could go on for hours. I am grateful to have Kara in my life not only as a sister but as a friend. Happy Birthday!! I hope it's a great year for you and your family.

Happy Birthday Suzy!!

I'm sorry Suzy. This post is long overdue.
This is my cute, cute sister in law, Suzy. (Kristi, I stole the picture from you....thank you!) She is beautiful. She has beautiful skin and always, always looks so cute. She is pregnant with her first baby, a little girl. She supported her husband through many years of school and is awesome at cutting and coloring hair and knowing what will look good. We seem to not see each other very often but when I get a haircut, we have a lot to talk about and we relate to each other well. I enjoy her company. Suzy is sweet and kind and a spaz. She loves life and shows it!!! Her and Mark are a great match. She is a fun person to have around. Suzy, I am so grateful for your friendship. I feel very lucky to have you as a sister and a friend. I hope you have a great year!!!

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Emily turned 9 years old. She has been talking about her birthday since the day after her last birthday. I feel like I just blogged her last birthday. It's gone too fast.
Emily is such a sweet girl. She has a very happy, go-lucky personality. She smiles and laughs a lot and it is very contagious. She is SO helpful. She is willing to help anyone in our home at any time without complaining. I am very grateful for that trait. She loves to play with her brothers and take care of Samuel. She does a great job at putting up with four brothers but at times cries for a sister. It is heartbreaking. Emily can be found more often than not, standing on her head or doing the splits and back arches. She has a beautiful voice and LOVES to sing. She loves music and I love to listen to her and watch her. She is a wild woman. Joins right in with the crazy boys but has a very girly side to her. She loves pink and loves her friends and cousins. She has a very tender heart and gets teary eyed often at the thought of someone elses pain or sorrow. She is a good girl. She makes good choices and John and I are so happy to have her in our family. We love you so much Emily. Thank you for being you!!!!
