13 Months!

Xander is now officially into his second year of serving as a missionary!

Celebrating 51!

Highlights of my 51st birthday - hanging with the high schoolers and talking about history; this beautiful blanket made by my beautiful mom who knows how much I love the beach;

a visit from two of my favs who brought me tasty treats;

anti-aging facial products from my brother to help keep me from looking like an oldie;

David's oh so tasty shrimp pasta for dinner followed by my new favorite, raspberry cookies n' cream ice cream, enjoyed while watching the final episode of The Rings of Power;

Facetime calls with my Utah kids though unfortunately I didn't get a picture talking to Savannah;

and lots of sweet birthday messages from family and friends.

A few days later the Clarks joined us for my birthday dinner at Sake, one of my favorites!

Picture Time!

I love this tradition - mom and son pictures! We had some fun while everyone was getting their individuals...

We had to kid Jackson about his hair flipping, ha ha!

There goes the hair again!

Noah lends a hand.

Love these boys so much! I'm so glad that Noah was able to be a part of this wonderful O line brotherhood.

And now for the professional pictures. Absolutely love them!

One of my favorites of Noah!

My favorite of the two of us.

I think my stance looks pretty good!

Afterwards we had a great time at dinner!
