What better advice and encouragement can we receive than from these inspired leaders.

Happy 16th Wesley!

I can't believe my little younger brother turned 16 today! Time really does pass by so quickly, I still remember my brothers as little boys and now they are all taller than me. It's crazy, but it's so much fun being teenagers with them, there truly is never a dull moment. I love you Wes! Hope you have the best year yet!

Every time someone turns 16 at our house we throw them a surprise party. Wes was SURE we wouldn't be able to surprise him. But lo and behold we did. It was awesome.
Happy Birthday Wesley!

Memorial Day

Thank you to all the men and women who have fought in any way for our freedom and thank you to the families of all these heroes. You're sacrifices are appreciated and remembered. We are so blessed.

I am thankful for the knowledge that families are forever and for the examples of my family members who have already passed on. I know we were all be together again someday.

We can't wait to meet our cousin Trevor. He would be turning 22 this year.

Aunt Kathi's grave

Uncle Paul :: Wagstaff Great Grandparnets :: Uncle Read :: Wagstaff Gread-great Grandpaernts :: Vicky

Sophie is our second cousin. She is 2 months older than me.

We didn't make it to Lindsay's grave this year. I miss my family members who have passed on already but I know they are in a better place and they are still with us.

Happy Memorial Day!

You're Half Way There-- Go For It!

The title refers to a Cap'n Crunch computer game my siblings and I used to play ALL the time when we were little. We loved the game, obviously because when I said this phrase, all my brothers knew what I was talking about. Anyway, guess what?

Hermana Bosco's halfway mark is TODAY! 

9 more months and she will be home. I am beyond excited! The first 9 months went a lot faster than I thought they would, but at the same time, it seems like she has been gone forever. I can't wait to see her again! 

She loves her mission and LOVES Argentina. I am so thankful for her example and her choice to serve a mission. She is so happy, and her testimony has grown. I know she is doing the right thing for her and I am so proud of her!

School's Out

I have been done with school for over a month, but I feel like summer can officially start because now my brothers are out of school! Wahoo!

I have way more fun when they are home, as you can tell in the above picture. For lunch we made a smoothie and it didn't have very much flavor. So naturally you would dump it on the table, then ask your sister to make you a sandwich, right?

Marlene's 80th Birthday

The girl cousins on the Holt side celebrated Aunt Marlene's 80th birthday today by having lunch at Goodwood. It was wonderful being with family and celebrating this amazing person in our family. We love Aunt Marlene! (There were more girls there but I didn't get a picture of the whole group.) 

Alexis :: Aunt Janet :: Aunt Kay :: Aunt Marlene :: Grandma :: Mom

And yesterday was my Grandma's birthday-- Happy Birthday Grandma! She will never know how much impact she has had in my life. She is one of those ladies that would do anything for anyone and always has a smile on her face. I look up to her so much and I am so grateful for the relationship that we have. I will cherish all the memories I have with Grandma and I love her!

First Bike Ride of the Season

Today I went on my first bike ride of the summer with my best friend. It was wonderful.  I love going on bike rides with Ashley. It's kind of a summer tradition, one of my favorite things to do. The weather was beautiful and the conversation was great! The first bike ride was a success and I see many more in the future.

Wanna know what else was wonderful today? My lunch. It consisted of a cucumber, a peach, and a nectarine. Yum!
