I'm so excited for Conference this weekend,

and this video just makes me even more excited!!

Lots of Fun!

Lots of FUN!

That's all I had this past weekend.

Kimberly Empey came down for a visit!

It was so great to see her!

Because her birthday is next week,

I made her a cake! :)

Then the fun continued!

Nicole's little sisters Libby and Mia

came for a visit.

They spent Friday night and

I don't know if they had fun or not,

but I sure did!

Here's Nicole and the girls

reading scriptures.

So cute!!

With all the fun,

I have no idea how this happened.

This bruise just appeared behind my knee.

For having no idea

of how it got there

it's kindof a harsh bruise.

But your guess is as good as mine!

Then the fun continued!

I went home with Nicole for the weekend.

It was SO much fun! Saturday, Nicole had two tickets

to the General Young Women's Conference.

I was lucky enough to go with her,

Thanks again Nicole! We got to sit down near the front,

the closest I've ever been! It was an awesome experience!

(even though we were technically too old to be there, haha)

But I have to say, President Uchtdorf is AMAZING!

He was the last speaker and I just love him! I didn't know much

about President Uchtdorf until I read a talk about him by

Elder Russell M. Nelson, another incredible apostle.

Here's a link to the article:

After, we went back to Nicole's house.

The next morning, we went to her friend's homecoming

in the ward she used to go to.

Then, we came back to Logan.

It was a quick trip, but was so fun!

A big thanks goes to Nicole & her family,

you guys are incredible!

Thanks for a terrific weekend!

The Final Birthday!

So Kali is the last to have a birthday!

We've had a birthday

every other week since our

return from Christmas break.

I swear all we have done

is blow up balloons and eat

birthday cake!

Whatever will we do now!? haha

On the eve of her birthday

at midnight we "surprised"

(of course she knew it was coming)

her with monkey bread,

poppers, and confetti!

The night before,

we blew up balloons

while Kali was gone.

Which, I might add, were hard to hide!

There were 159 of them!!

We made a "curtain/cocoon" in her room.

Practically her entire half

of the room was filled with balloons.

Here's a pic of the cocoon at the front door.

We taped yarn to the end of the

cocoon, so when she came back

from water aerobics that morning,

the balloons fell out on her when she opened

the front door.

Then, that afternoon,

Kali, Nicole, Julia, Lauren, Allie, and I

all went to Coldstone. Yum!

So, we had this idea

(before everything else)

and we just needed a box,

big enough for a person.

We didn't have one

and we didn't think about

it anymore, until that night

when Kali said "There's only one thing

that could complete today, and that

would be if I had a MAN!"

Soooo, Nicole and I went to Lowe's!

We got a HUGE piece of cardboard.

Lauren helped Nicole construct it into

a box. Then, when it was complete,

Kali opened it to find....:

Eric "the MAN!!!" haha

Thanks Eric! You were awesome!

Here's Kali with her room of balloons.

Ya, I think she was happy ;)

She had 5 birthday cakes

of all different kinds.

The candy one, with the 8 ft

note from Natalie had to be my favorite though!

Thanks to everyone (303 girls, Eric, Kali's friends)

for helping us celebrate!

Overall, I think it was a success!

Happy 19th Birthday Kali!

I hope it was a good one.
