Beeezzzooo!

My favorite little sister. I know you have been waiting for this. I imagine it is 1130am and you are just rolling out of bed. You probably are eating little gems donuts and checking out your birthday blogs. Am I right? Like always I am probably am. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I can't believe that next year you will be 30. Isn't that nuts!! I hope this day is special for you. You deserve nothing but the best. You are such a fun person to be around even though sometimes I think you are crazy, you are a bit of a paranoid and most days you are on the verge of a panic attack (as Nik would say Panic Attackin). You are a great friend to all. You are also so generous with Stephen's $$! ( I think he would get a kick out it) You are Paisley's second mother even though I think Nik will disagree after this summer. I love that we have so much in common and that we are both a little on the Koo Koo side. You have the skinniest legs that I envy and you look great in any jean imaginable. You have little sweet Chloey and rotten little Marlee-they worship you even though you think they can't stand you. I am most of greatful that you are my sister and my friend. I can tell you ANYTHING. I am sorry for all the times I beat you up. Sorry for locking you outside the house or forcing you to kiss boys way before you are ready. Thanks for loving me and having me as your Maid of Honor twice. I love you so so so much! Happy Birthday Sister!

I love this little girl...

The past few weeks I have become obsessed with the Twilight Series. I'm a little late, but like Kristin said I am officially a "Twerd" (Twilight Nerd). Last night I found this on Paisley's bed. She apparently feels the same way about Edward as I do.

Nik!

AH! My sister Nikkii! Boy do I love you! You are my funniest, craziest, silliest sister. There is not a day when we are together that you don't make me laugh. Some of the things you ask are so off the wall it is hilarious. Its those moments I enjoy the most. Like when you asked me if I had my first period after Paisley was born. Or the many different ways you spell my name-none ever correct. I love that you steal coffee beans and sniff them all day. I love that you are such an awesome mom/teacher/volunteer. I love that you ran all the way from Prescott to Mesa-you are so inspirational. You are so creative and talented. You have taught all the kids in the family to read they all love Miss Nikkii. You have been through so much and remain as strong as ever. You work harder than anyone I know-well maybe you are neck and neck with dad. I love that you can translate for all of our garage sales. I love the pig tails you create and the magical word frames melt our hearts with. All I can say is you are the best. We love you so so so much! I look forward to spending some quality time with you in CA. When you aren't running marathons of course. Happy Birthday sister!!

Maxie...

Ok! I am the worst aunt ever. First because I am 3 days late and second because I have no recent pictures of Max so I had to steal them off of Nik's blog. Max is such a sweetie. He use to ask me if I was having a baby when I wasn't even pregnant-it wouldn't even break my heart because he was really excited for me. My favorite memory of Max was when he was 3 and I was pregnant with Paisley. I would have to get him off the bus-he was so small you wouldn't even know he was on it. He would run off the bus and would be so happy to see me. Now he is older and all I get is a "Hi Lindsey!" I am not cool anymore, but he still is that same sweet boy. He will always be. I love you Max the Moose! Happy Birthday! I promise to take photos in CA for next years birthday.

Chloey Jean...

Happy Birthday my little love. Chloey has had my heart from the very first breath she took. This little girl is the sweetest little girl I have ever met. She is quiet, kind, mellow and very smart. Alot like me how could I not love her. JK! Like Nik said in her blog she has been through so much in her short 3 years. I feel very protective of her and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. She doesn't speak much, but she expresses so much through her eyes. I am always wondering what she is thinking. I can't wait to see the changes she makes in this year with starting preschool. I am hoping she will say "Lindsey you are my favorite auntie!" by the end of the year. I know she can do it. Happy Birthday Chloey we love, love, love you...

need blogging motivation...

I work insane hours so im too sleepy to take pictures or type anything. paisley is out of school next week so hopefully a vacation will snap me out of this dry spell. in the mean time i have missed a few birthdays. The Wheeler twins, baby Liam and Sage-all of them are Damon and Colleen's children.

First baby Liam-I hardly know you, but already can tell we will have a special bond. After all my crazy red hair made you smile-or my silly face. I can't wait to bond with you in CA in a few weeks while your parents nap. I plan to steal and walk on the beach. It will be fun-I promise. Welcome to the family!

Twins- You boys crack me up. I think it has taken all five years for you to finally like me:) You are such big boys and every time I see you I see Damon. Its crazy. I love hearing about you two and the incredible bond you share as twins. I had so much fun playing kickball with you at your birthday party. We should play again soon. Sorry I am late on this post. We love you! Happy 6th Birthday!

Sage-Well how can I forget your birthday. You remind me every year how long I have been out of high school. I am not sure I like you getting older. You have turned into such a beautiful young lady. You are fun to have around-you are just one of the girls. You are so talented in everything you do. I love that you read and play music-I have always wanted to do that. You are so sweet and such a help to your family. I have never seen you complain once. You are the first grandchild-my first niece. We love you so much and can't wait to see you grow up and become even more beautiful. My goal is to teach you to drive stick. Your mom and dad taught me so its only fair I do the same. Happy 12th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Kristin!!

Happy Birthday Kristin! You are one of the greatest people I know. I know I would think the same thing even if you were not married to my brother. You have the greatest sense of humor and you are always making me laugh. You are so fun to be around. You also are like SUPERWOMAN! Seriously in one day you take care of your kids, run 100 miles, squeeze in an entire Stephanie Meyers book, make dinner, clean the house, plan a church activity and drive to CA without breaking a sweat. I admire you in all that you do. You are a great sister and a awesome friend. I hope this is a great birthday for you. After the last few months you deserve something spectacular. We love you, but I love you the most. Happy Birthday!
