Chelsea's Graduation

Last week we went down to Utah so that we could attend Chelsea's High School graduation. For those of you who don't know, Chelsea is one of my many adopted sisters. :o) She lived in Kuna for several years. I use to babysit her when she was 8. After I graduated High School, I use to spend the night at her home several nights a week and "watch" her while both her parents were at work. In October 2004, I ended up moving in with her and her parents and 10 months later I moved out because I got married. A year after that, Chelsea and her family moved to Utah (I miss them a lot!!!). Chelsea and I have been through a lot together and I love her just like I love my sisters. Chelsea also introduces me as her sister to others whenever I'm around, which always throws people off because she is an only child....we love it! Chelsea always makes me laugh and can always cheer me up when I'm feeling down. I wanted to make sure that we made it down to her graduation, even if it was a fast trip down and back. I'm so proud of her for all of her accomplishments! Congrats Chelsea!!!!! I love you!!!!!

Playing with our Nephew's

During our most recent Utah trip we stayed at Curtis' sister's home. (We went down to attend Chelsea's graduation...read the previous post). While we were at Heather's, Curtis and I enjoyed visiting Heather & Ben and playing with our nephew's. Matthew is now 2 months old and is just starting to smile on his own. When he wasn't sleeping in my arms, I was able to get him to smile....and boy was it cute!! Spencer is turning 3 soon, so we had a Nemo cake and gave him our present (an eye-spy bag). Spencer really liked Uncle Curtis and was his shadow for a while. Below are some of the pictures from our visit.

Wow, I really like Aunt Sara...
Isn't he ADORABLE!!!

Good morning handsome!

Hmm, I think I'll lay here and watch my brother...
