YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

I can't believe my Brittles is 1!

Kierra loved getting dressed up for the party. I bought both of them leggings and it is all she can talk about.

I just had to buy a cute little birthday outfit for her why I was out getting supplies. She looked so cute.
She had such a great time. I think all the kids had a good time. It's a good thing because she was grumpy earlier. We probably should have done the grumpy bear cake.

Richard was a good boy and decorated her cake for me because I just don't have the patience. It was a Care Bear, but not for long!! Sorry to those who missed the festivities. It is always fun to watch a baby destroy food and make a complete mess. By the way, I didn't completely clean it up until Sunday.

I hope this year will be a good one for her (and for us). We have two vacations planned this year so it's already looking up for all of us.

Recently I have been evaluating my life and family. We have a new home and many nice things that many people would love to have, but why do I constantly question them? Since moving, I have realized that I just don't seem to be happy with what I have. I don't understand it. There is always going to be something that someone has that is nicer or they got a better deal on it than you did. With people moving in on our street, I have begun to feel like we got screwed on our house. New move-ins were able to negotiate their purchase as we were not. No matter how much I want to, I can't change what happened. I can't change that home values have gone down in three months. I can't change that maybe we were taken advantage of because we needed a place to live fast, and the sellers knew it. However I can change how I look at things and if I can do anything about the things that bother me. So after much thought in the middle of the night, I decided to call the West Jordan Building Department about city codes. Shortly a city inspector will be contacting us for an inspection of our home. To be perfectly blunt, I feel like I have a need to get the builder to fix what they refused to do. There are some safety issues that I have and want someone to fix them. Finding a large hole covered with leaves in the front yard topped it off for me.

But of course, there is nothing in the world like a family that loves me and will do anything to make me happy.
