Chopped

I cut my hair, what do you think? Grow it out or keep it short...

Sister Fun...

Dear Sis,

I love you! As kids you were my best friend, always there to play with and talk to. Now that we're grown ups it's nice to know things haven't changed! Thanks for the fun this past few weeks! I can't wait for our next adventure!

Love always,

Me

The Sugarland Concert was a blast!

AND I LOVED THE GUY SITTING NEXT TO YOU ;)

(and I know you'll forgive me for posting this pic of you because you love me too, BUT ALSO BECAUSE you loved that guy as much as I did! HEHE!)

You are an awesome aunt and such a great example to my girls!

An unexpected dinner and night of playing WII, is exactly what I sometimes need!

And a fun quick shopping trip, dinner and GLITTER TOES!

Thanks again for being the best! I love you!!

In a funk...

I was in a funk and needed a laugh, thought I'd share...

SUGARLAND...

Becky asked me a few weeks ago if I wanted to go to Sugarland since Mat had to go out of town. I of course was thrilled but due to my air headedness I booked 2 things this weekend. Unfortunately due to snow in Idaho 1 set of plans cancelled (or fortunately as the case maybe) and thankfully Becky couldn't sell her tickets so we're going and I'm soooo excited! It's been awhile since I had a good dose of sister time and I can't think of a better way to spend it then dinner and a concert! WOO HOO I'M SO EXCITED!!

Happy 14th Birthday Annie!

When you were born we were so excited to start our family! I remember it was such a busy day, starting at 2am until you were finally born at 4pm. Everyone from our families was so excited and waited and waited at the hospital all day! We didn't have a moment alone until late that night when our final visitor had left and I think both me and dad were exhausted! We had the tv on low but no other lighting and we were talking about our future, your future, I will never forget it! Daddy was holding you while he sat in the hospital recliner in my room, the glow of the tv just highlighting your perfect baby skin and dad looked down at you in awe and said in a whisper "She's just the coolest little thing isn't she?"

It's unbelievable for me to think that was 14 years ago! You are growing up into such a beautiful young lady and you are still just the coolest thing ever! We are so proud of you and who you are growing up to be!

Have a great day! We love you "Boo"

Happy Birthday!

The Cake Boss...

If you don't already know, Annie wants to grow up to be "The Cake Boss". Ok, maybe not Buddy on the hit TLC show, but she does want to be a Pastry Chef and she sure has been baking up a storm! (hence the extra 10 pounds my booty is carrying around!)

February starts off with yummy Valentine cookies...


The end of the month, my mom's bday and Annie used her new cake decorating set to make this yummy cake...

And the first part of March my sister's bday where she played a bit with fondant...

She really has done a great job so far on baking, I just need to find somewhere to ship the yummies before my booty turns into a 300 lbs nightmare! (maybe then I could make the Biggest Loser! No, on second thought, not worth it!)

Keep up the good work Annie! And if you want to venture into full meals, I'll buy the groceries and you make dinner ;)

A spoiled surprise...

Dear Briggs,

You spoiled our surprise, not once but twice!

Thanks a lot!
Sharalee Byers

And for everyone else...

Since the cat is out of the bag you all might as well know we have another Panther of the Quarter! Shawna will get her award next week and I'll post pics at that time!

We're so proud of you baby! Keep up the good work!
