uP Up uP Up uP!!!

Have you seen this mooooovie yet?  Love, love, loved it!!  Had to bare my testimony about it!  Maybe I loved it cause the 

girl in it was named Ellie...and some of her 

bouncy energy and charismatic qualities reminded me of myself...

 The beginning of the movie was so sweet of how it told a silent story of how they fell in wuvv!!  Maybe I loved it so much cause the overenthusiastic scouting little boy Russell reminded me of Jeffrey and how all he wanted to do was get his last badge for serving the elderly so he could be a certified Wilderness Explorer!!

Or maybe I just loved it cause all the characters were so hilarious, and Mr. Fredricksen was such a grouch, how could you not laugh at him? It was honestly an UPlifting adventure to watch and one of my fav movies now!!  I give it 10 thumbs up and over 10 shining stars...so go and see if you 

haven't already...I highly recommend it to everyone!  

  

My little bro is growing up!

On May 21, we were able to drive down to Sierra Vista for my little bro's graduation from Buena High School! Considering that S.V. is a pretty small town we were surprised to see that he had graduated with 600 other students, surprisingly enough it didn't take to long to read off all the names. It was fun to be there to support him and to share in his joy! Congrats JAROM!! You did it!!His next adventure is to serve a mission for our church, he will be an awesome Elder! Jarom is the second youngest out of the 8 kids in our family, and it's so crazy to see him grow up...he's not allowed to!!

Him and Joccie are just supposed to stay young forever, but I'm sure it's

nice for my parents to have another one leave the nest!

Jarom, we love you

and I know that the future only holds more exciting events for ya! :)


Waiting for the ceremony to start...good thing my sister Amber

and I can be so entertained with silly faces we make!

Here is the graduate himself...as my friend Ashley Johnston put it...

"he looks like he came right out of High School Musical!!!"

Very true comment...he's a cute kid! :)

Proud parents!!

Seriously...this is one of the ONLY pics I have of my

mom smiling with her teeth!!

Some pics with the fam!!

Sheriff Chubby

Yikes, young women's has kept me busy but I LOVE it!! It's definitely time for an update! My birthday was last week and I had a wonderful day, and Jeff really did make it so special for me! It's funny how willing he was to make all my bratty birthday

wishes come true, thanks babe!

This is going to sound like I am a kindergartner again, but I have to talk about our teddy bears that we have at our house, so that a present I got for my birthday will make sense! Ok, so it's not like we collect teddy bears or anything, but for Christmas my mom and I were doing some holiday shopping and we found this New Year's bear at Dillard's, so she bought it for me and her name is Molly:

Will you please tell me if you think this is a girl or boy bear? Jeff says all bears are boy's but I disagree! Then for Valentines day I bought Jeff this bear and we named him Jeebs!

I tried my best to get Jeff to take a pic with his adorable bear, but he resisted! Alright, so we have these 2 bears and just love them...sorry we don't have kids and have to find replacements! Ha ha! Random... but for one of my birthday presents I always told Jeff that I wanted him to go to Build-A-Bear and make me a bear. I just thought that it would be the sweetest thing if a macho boy like him walked in there and made a bear for his wife on his own. He told me that when he did this the bear would resemble him and it was not going to be a bear with glitter and fluff, I told him that was fine and I wanted something to remind me of him anyways! He had me convinced that he didn't make me a bear, and I was a bit sad about it, but Monday morning on my birthday there was the Build-A-Bear box on the couch when I woke up and I was ohhhhhh so happy!!

The bear I pulled out was named Sheriff Chubby and was stuffed, dressed and all put together by my loving husband!! They come with this little certificate too! Jeff has always secretly wanted to be a cowboy so it did fit him. I love his little cowboy hat and jeans Jeff picked out too!! Anyways, that's my bear story but I love it cause I really can keep this bear forever!! Make your hubbies do it, it's a great present!

Later on Jeff had a little surprise birthday party for me with some of our friends and family! He ordered our favorite wings from this delish place right by our house called Wing Stop. (Go there...it's the BEST) Then later on he gave me this big Dora card with a $50 gift card to get a massage! I've never had a massage! Thanks to all the friends and fam who came over and wished me a happy birthday! It's not fun being in the 27 year old club...so I will just keeping telling little white lies that I am 23...I could still pass for that right??

Jeffrey also had a birthday on April 23! Since he always calls me Dora I made him a Diego cake! Back in the day I used to specialize in candy bar poster grams, so I decided to bust out the markers and make him one! And yes...he did eat all the chocolate! :) I think one of Jeff's least favorite present that he did NOT ask for on his birthday is that I went and chopped my hair off, I cut 6 inches!! I don't know what got into me but I was just being a typical girl and wanted a change...I like it but he is not very fond of it. You can see in all the pics how much shorter it is! I was done trying to grow it out and have mermaid hair...never was going to happen. Sorry Jeff...it will grow back!!

A couple of weekends ago we also were able to go to Sierra Vista to see my little sister Jocelyn in a musical, she had one of the leading roles! The play was called the Mystery of Edwin Drood and for most of it she played a young boy!! She was amazing and I didn't even know that girl could sing! Joccie, you did awesome and I'm so proud of you!!! Really, she looked

fantastic on stage and stole the show!!

I told her that she was living my dreams cause my drama teacher was not exactly the nicest person and cheated me out of a lot of opportunities in theatre back in high school! Joccie, I can't believe that you are now 17, you are not allowed to get older! I'm glad that you are my little sis though, and it was so wonderful to go down there to support you! :)

We are some of your biggest fans!! Oh, and sorry I could not curl your hair right...
