Birthdays and Farwells

This last weekend was quite the busy one with Birthday's, KJ's Baptism, and Buddy's Farewell. Friday and Saturday I had to work, but afterwards when I got home Kevy had the house all decorated, It was really sweet! I have the best husband in the world! He got me this beautiful outdoor figurine, thing it is hard to explain what it is but it goes with our decoration in our house, and he got me a spa package to get a facial, pedicure and a massage. It is going to be great! I am soo excited! He also got me a book called The Last Lecture, It is suppose to be a really good book I am very excited to read it!

That night we went out to eat at our favorite place Tepenyakis, Vanessa and James came with us and we celebrated her birthday too.

Afterwards was KJ's baptism. They put on a awesome program, Stina and buddy did an awesome job at their talks! Buddy's farewell speach was sunday and he did such an awesome job! I am going to miss him a bunch, even though I haven't seen him much since he has been gone to college, I will still miss him! He is such a good example to us and to my little guy, who will one day be able to serve a mission of his own!

My Beautiful Wife - (Kev's input on our blog)

I can't imagine my life without my beautiful wife, son and daughter! Erika is a loving, patient, and exceptional wife. she is a kind and wise mother! I am so blessed to have her! we held hands for the first time as we walked around bountiful park! she faked a neck pain while laying on my lap and kissed me for the first time! I worried for it seemed like forever about that kiss, I worried that I wasn't very good at it! she thought I was cute though and it worked out to my advantage! Erika and I had known each other for quite some time. She would come and do things with my friends and I. We were at the bountiful park for a young single adult activity and we were playing a game that included quite a bit of running and a heavier girl went down and was haveing trouble breathing. so I went and helped her. to make a long story short I think the girl was faking it cause when I mentioned ambulance all of her simptoms seemed to go away! Erike thought it was cute of me to hold her hand and tell her everything was going to be alright! I think I blew that a little later though when I threw a cooler full of ice water on her during a water fight! I knew she was meant for me after she made it past two weeks of me! She is wonderful! she makes me laugh and I am so happy to see her when I come home! Erika has so many qualities, she is patient, loving, tender, faithful, family oriented, always striving to do better, I cannot say enough about her! I hope she always knows of my love for her, my devotion to her, and my cherishing of her!
