19 Baby!

Yesterday was my birthday!


I woke up and got ready (the one day out of the year I do hehe)
and went to school and did my work ( brought Lexi with me) then
Travis Catt came over with my mail full of cards from my family, two cup cakes (from him) with candles on them and I got a "party in a box" from my mom!




Everything Tangled!



Bryce and Courtney lovin' the "party in a box"


Lexi made me a butterfly cake!







Her dad told her to stick with photography instead!
I think it's cute!

She made me a sign!


Lexi gave me a card and flower headband!




Thank you Lexi for everything and my headband, you rock!


 Marcus came over and Lexi and I we all went to a youth talent show for 2 second then went out to eat @ Kainoa's. Marcus paid!

Ashley and Josh were in town and so we brought the cake over to Lindsay and Shawn's house!
 It was lots of fun!





Who knows what they were doing! hehe


Sedona and Trent


And the best present of all...
 was that my baby is done with chemo!
He's sicker than ever but he's done and now can start healing and soon get better!
Next...starting our future! Finally

Let's Go Fly A Kite

Today was probably the most exciting I've had in Thatcher this semester!
Today was a good day, I must say!
 Lexi has been bOunCing off the walls, going crazy, because she's been bored out of her mind.
Soooo the solution to this was to go fly a kite!
 She went to Wal-Mart and bought bubbles, a twirly thing, and kites. Marcus Fenn the boy who never leaves *giggles* got a Buzz Lightyear kite. Lex got an Ariel kite and I got Lightning McQueen!






Lex is super happy! :)


She is the best! She makes me laugh (her giggle fits are hilarious) I wouldn't know what to do with myself If I didn't have the most awesome roommate ever!! She's become pretty much my best friend!





This was a super duper great idea and I wished my love was there! He's almost done.
My Birthday is his last day of chemo! Keep fighting babe!!

My handsome fiance is my world and I wouldn't trade him for anything and I'm so proud of him and how he's stayed strong through all this! I love you babe!

Daddy's Birthday!

Happy Birthday To My Dad Happy Birthday To My Dad Happy Birthday Dear Daddy Happy Birthday To You! 



This is my favorite Picture! He's with my little cousin!

Dad-You've been the best dad that I could ever ask for! From day one you've always been there for me! Always supported me and pushed me to be better! I wouldn't trade you for the world! I love you and I think so highly of you! You've done a good job raising us kids! Thank you so much for all you've done, you are the best, and I love you so very much! 

      He's always been good at sports! The fastest in high school and he could even dunk it! He's loved golf and he's way good at hitting it out there, loves basketball, and watching football. My dad loves all sorts of sports! "Track and Swimming are not the funnest to watch" But he'd be there!  He's been a great supporter! Been at every game and even goes to the practices!


He always has his aviators on! Classic Dad right here!

He can still play!

            My dad always has us laughing! He has the greatest facial expression and is the best at telling us stories! My dad always makes me laugh so hard I start crying and my belly hurts! Not everyone may think it is funny but I always do! I miss seeing him everyday now that I'm at college but I'll be home soon! MY DAD is the Greatest! I love him very much! And I know I can count on him!        

& P.S. I would've loved to share my birthday with my dad!

Crazy Things


me, Joel, and Lexi
This past weekend was so much FuN!
Lexi had invited me to go with her to Gilbert and get her car re-keyed and to spend time with her family!
 Let's just say that the Heninger family is so awesome and so sweet!
Driving up there was so hilarious, we took a friend named Joel up there with us but he went to see his own family. On the car ride up he was extremely funny and very entertaining!









After meeting the family
 Lexi and her sister Holly took us around to show us the area on these double seater bikes. It was soooo weird! I was freaking out! Not knowing what do to and knowing I had no control was crazy! Lexi then had me drive and it was better but so weird and I didn't want to kill her! We luckily made it without dying!


Joel soon told everyone he was going to marry Holly (She's 15)

Lexi and I took Joel to his sister house.
Let's just say men don't like to ask for directions.
We drove around for an hour trying to find where his sister lives.
It was dark and we came from the side he's not used to but still!!! On the way there we stopped at Mill Ave since I've never been there and walked around for a few minutes. Was a bit creepy but we were glad Joel was there. 
                            Lexi and I at Urban Outfitters


SaturDay:
 We watched some conference then did some yard work and layed out in the sun! Holly and Lexi and I got a little red but it turns into a Tan right?! We then had girls night while Lexi's dad and brother went to priesthood session. We went and ate at Chilli's with Jami (Lexi's older sister), her baby Kylie whose aka Squish, Holly, Lexi, Mrs. Heninger (RaLyn).

  Then looked around JC Penny's then went home. When we got home I had decided to color my hair. Lexi wanted a pink/red streak in her hair same with Holly. I did their streaks first then we colored my hair &  I got some streaks too. :)
BeFore:

I'm doing Holly's



AfTer:



I'm wearing a shirt I promise ...
SunDay:
We finished conference and went and picked Joel back up from his sister's house. His family seemed really cool. We went back to Lexi's to finish the second session. They had the whole family over for dinner! Got to meet Grandma and Grandpa and brother Chris. Lexi has one awesome family and I felt right at home with them! We then went and took pictures of Jami and Brandon and Little Squish (Kylie). Making a little girl smile takes work!


 Back in Thatcher-
Officer Cater and Another officer have helped catch the robbers that broke into the Shire.
The Officer drove up by an abandon house and there was a guy and girl who were there. The car wreaked with marijuana. The Officer called Officer Carter and they searched the car for drugs little did they know a backpack (Britnee's) was full of Lexi's car keys (she already had re-keyed her car so she's pressing charges) and some other items. None of my stuff was found but we found out that they were drug dealers. They are not college kids and they broke in to find stuff to trade to get drugs. This man has a 4yr old kid and doesn't want to go back to jail so he told them he would try to help to lower his 4 felony's over his head and get some of our stuff back and gave the cops 3 other names. This man is our neighbor. He lives behind us and his dad is always watching us. I catch him all the time starring at us. A lady came to our door today to worn us that he is always watching us. If some random person knows this then that's really creepy!!
 I'll keep you updated.



MonDay (Today)- Rusty started chemo again..

Went from this

To this


To Last week!!!


We got some good news today. Rusty's AFP levels have gone down to 10.3.

Rusty after this session will be done with Chemo! The doctor got two other doctors opinion and feels really good about him only doing two sessions! Rusty was soo excited! His mom and dad both cried and I'm so happy that this is going to end soon!  This has been the hardest trial for Rusty and I. I've cried almost every day wondering if I'm strong enough for this but I've been able to get through every day taking one day at a time & and holding onto the days that we were perfect! We've had so many people praying and shaving their heads for support. ( even my brother shaved his head this weekend.) I just want to thank everyone and for my Heavenly Father for making me strong enough to do this.


And who in the world knocks and but this on someones door and RuNs?!?



Gross!! Scared Lexi to death!



Been a good last few days! And this Friday I'll be 19 to end on a perfect note!
