Good Weekend Plus Carpet

So the first picture here is for Maren. We got new carpet in our family room a few months ago and Maren has asked me several times to post a picture of it. And a picture of just carpet would be boring right? So I had to get a cute model to pose ON on the carpet!
We had a good weekend which started out with us going to Tomatina's with my Dad and brother and his family. We then stopped at Baskin Robbins and got ice cream. Saturday Tobi took Andrew to the new Clone Wars movie. Andrew is REALLY into Star Wars, so he loved it. Tobi also took Andrew and Josh golfing with my Dad and brother and sister-in-law Ashley. Then we finished off with a BBQ at my parents. My sister came home from BYU yesterday also, so it was so fun to have her home. We are going to have a very fun week doing girl things I'm sure.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Emily is eighteen today! She is almost done with her summer term at BYU. I can't believe she is old enough to be there! I was 11 when she was born, so of course I was so excited to take care of her, babysit, and be her second mom. She has always been really special to me. When I was 16 and she was 5, we lived in Anaheim Hills, so I would take her to Disneyland just the two of us. She was only 6 when I went to BYU so I missed some of her growing up years, but I am so glad that we moved here to Pleasanton so that I could be around for her junior high and high school years. I got to watch her play lots of volleyball, see her with her dates for dances, and know her cute friends. Even though she is 11 years younger than me, she is one of my best friends. I am really going to miss her while she is away at BYU, but hopefully in a few years she can talk her husband into moving back here! Don't worry, I'm not rushing her, just talking in the future! Emily is so much fun to be around, and is so nice. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body. She has great fashion sense and I wish I could always look as cute as her! She is my favorite shopping partner. I hope you have a great birthday Em! Remind mom to give you your present from me! Love you!
