Love Life

It's all about attitude. The way we choose to see our life is what matters most. Each day is a day to be better than we were yesterday. We have two choices, happiness or misery. The ultimate form of therapy is gratitude. How can we be depressed if we are grateful for all we have. See the best in yourself and others and find greater joy in life today.......

Adriana's Birthday

Happy birthday my sweet Adriana. Considering that Adriana's birthday fell on a Sunday then we went out with her last night. Well, actually she went out with her two girlfriend's and her dad and I tagged along when they were almost finished eating. We then went out to yogurt. It was a quiet night. It's hard to believe she is now 17....

One of Summer's famous amazing cakes. She made this one for Adriana. So cute....

Happy Father's Day





 What a true statement. So many boys see their father's as hero's and that is how it should be. What better man to role model yourself after than your father. I am so thankful that my children have a father that they can look up to.

 My parents were here for Father's Day. It was the day after my birthday this year so we were able to celebrate this day with my father too. Hiram said that the best gift he could receive is if Summer came to church with us. She made it. It was stake conference today so it worked out perfectly.

 We had a wonderful father's day. We went to church and then my mom and I made a delicious dinner for the men that have been incredible fathers to our children. This chocolate cake tastes better than it looks ;)

This is what the day is all about.. Resting... Felix the cat and my father taking a nap!!!!!



My Birthday

 My birthday was nice. Curtis had a few baseball games in the afternoon  but after they were over then the family went out to dinner. Summer made me this amazing cake.

 It was a six layer cake. She is so creative and thoughtful to take her time out of her day to make it for me.

 

Ummm. the frosting goes ON the cake Summer...

 My sisters sent me this pillow, that I put on the living room chair. Great saying, " A sister is a forever friend." I am so thankful to have 4 beautiful sisters as my friends.

 Mexican food is always a winner. I picked Las Margerita for my birthday dinner. We usually go with my friend to dinner because we have the same birthday. My parents were down in southern California for my niece Lauryn's senior graduation so they came out to our home after.
