YAY for Dani's Birth!!!

I've been a huge slacker on celebrating birhtday's on this blog. I can't forget my beautiful little sister's birthday. She completes our family and adds fun and excitement to all our lives. i feel like I can see the world through her eyes when she comes back to tell us of all she's seen and experienced. She's also an angel and loves people so much, no matter who they are. She's also non-stop fun and she takes care of our family. I love her.

Two very important people I don't want to miss blogging pictures of

Happy Birthday Flick





Happy Birthday Cole

Happy Birthday Leesha

My sister Alecia has the most kind and generous heart I know. She sails through her challenges in life like nothing has happened and she is such a strong person. Raising a teenager on her own and supporting herself and Alex make her one awesome mom and woman. I look up to her, not only because she stole all the cleaning genes in the family, but because she s so kind, strong and funny.
Love you.

Clay Soccer Season has come to an end

Clay is so excited to be on the field. A team mate just scored
Clay and Coach Doug. He rocks!!!
Clay catching a goal. He is in the air. Wow



Clay had his last game on Saturday and he had a blast. I know I am his mom and I think all my kids are the best, but I have to say Clay tears it up on the soccer field. He was the goalie Sat and they won 5-0. His team ended the season in 4Th place. The pictures I posted are of him and his coach Doug. It is really nice to have a coach I can trust with my Clay, he understands him and respects him. In turn Clay will do anything Doug says. I wanna say Thanks to Doug for a great year, Thanks for your patience and love for my sweet, moody boy. He truly loves you and would probably change parents if your girls would let him. I am grateful Clay has found what makes him happy. Tad talks about loving a sport so much you have to always have the ball in your hand, Clay always has a soccer ball at his feet. Thanks to Jill and Trevor for coming to so many of his games.

Happy Birthday Dr. Trevor

Happy Birthday Trevor. You are a great addition to the Shurtleff family.
We hope you have a nice day and that you took a day off from studying.
I am glad you are as awesome as you are. You are a great dad, amazing
hubby and the best Uncle ever.

Happy Birthday ALEX

I don't even want to believe how old Alex is. I think he's 15 now. I'm so blown away at how grown up he's become. He really is a gentleman and has a wonderful loving heart. He's got good looks and what else is there to say. We love you. Do good!!

Happy Birthday TAD

You are the best brother I have. What a great dad he is to his kids and an awesome uncle too. He loves to help his kids do so much from baseball, softball, soccer, backetball to football. His kids are so active and he just keeps going with them and coaching them in all they do. He coached me too when I first started playing soccer. What a nice provider he's been for his family and most importantly he makes sure he's there for them.

Happy Mother's Day

I've got the best mom in the whole world. She works so hard for her age so that she can spoil all of her kids and grandkids. She has a wonderful heart and a funny sense of humor. Everything good about me comes from her. I am so amazed at all the hard work she has put in to losing weight and getting healthy, she recently lost a lot of weight and looks dang good! I'm proud of my mom and what she does. She had a pretty good mom too. Love you.

Old Guys Rule!

Happy Birthday Dad/Grandad!! You are getting pretty old. We all love you so much and hope that you have a wonderful 61st year of your life. Wish we could have taken you on a picnic to the San Juan river :)You are a unique, one of a kind person!

Happy Birthday Lily!

TASH! Don't worry...I got the goods on you when it comes to pictures! It was so fun eating at our favorite restaurant (spaghetti factory) for your birthday. You are turning into a beautiful young woman with a good head on her body. We'll have to blog about the festival of colors after your party! (tasha is taking all her friends to the Holi festival of colors for her party. This is the indian festival where they throw colored powder at each other to welcome in spring....it will be so fun!)

Lily's Baptism

I have had a lot of people lately ask me about Lily's baptism. Where, When you know the regular.

She has decided to get baptised here in Vegas with her friends. She has a couple of non member friends at school and I have a couple of non member friends that we think would enjoy the experience. She is very wise to choose here in Vegas.

We would love to have all our family come down. We have room for a bunch and so does Jill. Heck for that matter so does both of my neighbors. I am proud of Lily to make this decision all by her self. Good luck Uly. Tabitha

happy b-day Tabitha

Happy Birthday Tabby. So I think my brother scored big time when he married you because you are awesome. you are the most outgoing, beautiful(inside and out), happy person I know. I love you thanks for being my friend and sister.

Happy Anniversary! (translate to Spanish)

It has been one year today that Andy became the luckiest son of a gun in the world. It was a beautiful, sunny day on a white sandy beach. Flick looked like an angel in a bikini. That's what heaven is... all of my family bright and white and in beautiful places. You have made each other so happy. Live every day like you are still on that cabo beach. We all love you so!

disclaimer: my camera broke while we were in mexico. These are the only pictures i have, and I stole one of them.

Cole's Science Fair Project

Check out how cool Cole's science fair project turned out. He did it on paper airplanes. He has been reading about all different sizes and shapes of these planes and found the perfect fold. Thanks Alex for the awesome airplane calendar it gave us the idea. He then made 6 different sizes. The one that flew the best was the one that was exactly 1 foot long. He did a good job. Him and I put the board together, it was a fun day off from work. Wish him luck, if he places again this year he will go to State again. Also if he places this year he will be the only kid since the school opened to place 1st or 2nd 2 years in a row. I think he has a god shot at it, but I am his mother.

What a Cute Boy

I just had to post this picture of Daven. I took it last night at Jill and Trevor's indoor soccer game. He was super cute last night. I am so lucky to be able to watch him every Friday night so his mom and dad can play soccer.
