Another year older

Jake turned 26 this month! I love when its his birthday because then we are the same age again.  It only lasts until September when it's my birthday then he goes back to calling me his cougar. haha :) This year we celebrated with the Bells! we had so much fun.  The boys went golfing and we went out to dinner, then had cake and ice cream. Every year Jake asks for the same cake.  When we first started dating back in high school, for Valentines day I made him a heart shaped white cake that said "I Love Jake" on it.  for some reason he thought it was the most amazing cake he had ever had, and every year since on his birthday I ask him what kind of cake he wants, he always replies "you know what kind I want".  I have spent the last 9 years trying to re-create but for some reason its never the same. haha so maybe next year hun :)

He was so excited to get a circular saw for his birthday! He can't wait to build some shelves for garage.  I can't wait either ;)
 Happy birthday Jake! We love you! 

It's Spring!

ok so it has been spring for a little while here in sunny St. George, and here when it is officially spring it means temperatures in the 80s.  That means we get to go to the lake!!  we LOVE to go.  We go almost every weekend when its warm.  I could just sit on the beach and watch the kids play all day.  There is something about the sunshine, sand and water that make it so perfect to sit and do NOTHING. Just completely relax.  It's crazy because if I sat at home and did nothing but watch the kids play I would get so bored feel like I need to do something productive.  Maybe that's why I love sitting on the beach. There's nothing to do except relax. :)  And all three of my kids are basically fish.  They could play in the water forever and be happy little guppies :)

Can life get any better than this?  Seriously!
