Happy Birthday Aly

The big 21!  Can it really be that our 'baby' is twenty-one??!!??  How can time pass by so quickly?  I think this will be Aly's best year yet! I love our traditional birthday celebrations!  Favorite dinner at Grammy/Grampy's home with cousin craziness and a delicious family dinner, presents, and of course...pictures!!

And the summer shoes begin!

Beautiful cousins

Techno-madness

Almost married...so cute!

Cousins

Love the crazy cousin pose!  Personalities at their finest!

 

Aly wanted to go out to breakfast as her birthday pick.  Brad and I joined Aly and Eric, Jacque and Preston for a delicious breakfast at Crackers!

(This year the family is treated to my creativity in acrostic poems!)

A - Almost married to one of the nicest guys around and her best friend - Eric!
L - Laughter is contagious as she shares funny jokes, quotes, and songs
Y - Yearns to complete her bucket list and has amazing things to yet accomplish
S - Seeks the peace the temple gives as she regularly attends and looks forward to entering those sacred doors
O - Organized with a plan of action for everything she accomplishes
N - Never wavers in her faith that her Heavenly Father loves her and is watching over her.

Happy 21st Birthday Aly!  We LOVE you!!

New Car for Aly

Aly has patiently waited and searched for the perfect car for all the traveling that she does.  It took a while to narrow down the choices, but she finally decided on a 2013 Toyota Corolla.  She is so excited!!
NICE CHOICE!!
