Happy Birthday, Sid!

I'm sorry to be a day late with this post, but yesterday was my sweet niece Sidney's birthday--Happy Birthday, Sid! This cute picture of Sid is from our family trip to Nauvoo in 2008. She has always been such a cute little girl! I remember the day she was born--she came a little early, and she was so tiny. But she is growing up fast! When I was home in Utah last December, I got to attend Sid's party because my airplane was delayed by a snowstorm--that's one time I didn't mind being delayed. I hope she had a great gingerbread party yesterday and that this is a wonderful year ahead!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is Mom's Birthday! I wish I could be there to celebrate with her and Dad, but I suppose it's best that I'm not, since I have a cold. I have the BEST mom in the whole world! She is a really great person and has taught me so much. She and I have also had some REALLY fun adventures together! In fact, I think it would be hard to find two people who have had more fun than Mom and me :-) And I bet that Mom's favorite birthday present is having Dad home from the hospital! His surgery went well; although he didn't feel very well after it was all over. Hopefully he can recover very quickly. They ended up having to remove part of his intestine, but we'll pray that it will heal quickly. So I hope that Dad gets feeling better and Mom has a Happy Birthday! I love you both very much!!
