It's Kirsty-pie's birthday!

Oh HAPPY DAY Kirsten :) Mike, Tanner, and Austin better give you lots of hugs for us! LOVE YOU!

A couple reasons why we love this girl SO stinkin' much:

Cuz really....look at that cute face

She's so cute when she sleeps

Like a good older sister...she takes care of us when we eat too much at fuddruckers

She and Mike just make us all happy

And well....she's just Kirsten :)

it's true

Janae. Kirsten, Mike, and Steve,

Interesting article in the NY times

I thought this was kind of interesting and thought I'd share it with all you people...even though I think I'm only one that checks it ;) haha...I'll pretend that I'm sharing! Just click on the title and it'll take you to the article...it's about "MORMON MOMMY BLOGS"

Reminder

Hey, just a reminder to everyone that next Sunday we are reporting on our goals :) So at 4:00 we are all calling each other to report how our faith has grown this month :) Love you all!

PS. This blog thing will only work if we check it....(hint hint)

i'm a fan

Janae and Family,
i think this is a fun idea. in all honesty, i'll check it when i can. not sure how often that is but when my freshman hall had one, i'd check every weeek or so and it was a lot of fun. Christian might need to help mom and dad :) i think we should give it a go and see how we do. Thanks and love ya!

Tell me what you think

Hey, so let me know if this is a dumb idea or if you think you'll use it. I'm hoping we will get in the habit of checking it often and maybe it will give us more reasons to call each other and maintain good friendships/relationships. I thought this was funner than facebook...but let me know what you guys think.
