cutest picture ever...

(cousin Lauren, Caitlyn, and Cj)

I have so much to blog about,

so many thoughts to write down

and back blogs to publish,

but

I'm in a small rut right now,

and, I'm afraid I won't do it justice.

I'm trying to climb out...

I had a neat experience on Sunday that is helping

and I want to blog about that later too.

but in the meantime,

I'm going to take a little morning nap

cuz

it was one of those nights last night and I was awake until 4.am.

happy napping.

What month is it?

just one of the things we did today....

(October in Texas)

#10 on 10-10-10...

Lynzie has been counting down her birthday week,

this was a BIG birthday for Lynzie this year....

Lynzie was turning 10 years old on

10-10-10!!!

(did I ever mention she weighed 10 lbs. when she was born,

10.8 to be exact.)

thankyou.thankyouverymuch!

she was sooo excited that she made us wake up at 6:00 am to open her present from grandpa and grandma........

she loved her present so much that this is a picture of her kissing it!

her grandma and grandpa gave her 10 new $10.00 bills...

do the math people......$100.00 buck-a-roos!!!

singing Happy Birthday to Lynzie and her pathetic cupcake!

(I'm lame, I already know!)

p.s. Abby if you read this, please try not to laugh too hard at my lameness.

thanks to grandma and grandpa we were able to go on a shopping spree.

first order of business...

ear piercing!!!.

then to build-a-bear workshop,

to make a cute puppy that she named McKenzie...

I call her TENzie McKenzie, cuz she got her for her 10th birthday!

then some clothes and shoe shopping at her two favorite stores,

which was a success.

that girl can shop!

my favorite memory of the day:

watching the confidence ooze out of Lynzie

and

listening to her talk like she was a big girl or something!

then, of course, it's always fun to end the day with cousin Lauren....

Happy Birthday Lynzie ,

we love you!

Lynzie had a perfect day!

Kurt took Spencer to Salt Lake to go to his very first Priesthood session at the Conference Center,

what a memorable experience for Spencer to remember for the rest of his life!

(I'm just impressed that Kurt took pictures with his phone, thanks Kurt!)

ten

in 10 days....

on 10-10-10

Lynzie will be 10 years old!
