So, it's been a while! It's been pretty busy! My birthday was on the fourth, and things weren't how we normally have it, so I wasn't really looking forward to it. However, I was mistaken! It was probably the best birthday I've had in a long time! I wasn't rushed to get to the parade. I didn't really care if we were late, I wanted to make sure to spend some time with Grandma, because it may be my last with her. She didn't know it was my birthday, but when we walked in, she said, "Everyone!!! These are my friends!" Like we're never there, but she doesn't remember from minute to minute sometimes. After that we did go to the parade, it was fun! Then we had a picnic at Grandma and Grandpa's and that was really nice, too. For dinner we went to Cheesecake Factory! It was really good and really fun with the little boys! They're so cute! The night before was Grandpa's heart party. That was really fun, too. We were only missing a few people, I think it's the most we've had together in a really long time. He's had his "new" heart for 20 years. It's such a miracle! I know that he's lasted as long as he has because we've all needed him. I think Heavenly Father has let him stay with us, because Collin and I needed a "dad," since our's is gone.

For my birthday, Mom gave me a tennis racket, and I've been trying to play a couple mornings a week. I've got a long way to go, but it's really fun!

This last week was Mom's birthday, a bridal shower for Ashley, and Steel Days in American Fork. Busy week! Very fun, though!

Explanation for my music: I'm admitting that I'm a convert to David Archuleta! I saw him perform at a ReAL game, and loved him! Then there's a tribute to MJ. He was a talented guy! Weird as can be, but his music is great! David Cook is singing a Lionel Richie song. Whenever I hear Lionel Richie on the radio (his old stuff) I smile and think my dad's saying hi! He didn't even like him that much, but I remember listening to that tape with dad. Brad Paisley's song is my new favorite! Who doesn't like Daughtry! Anyways!!! I'm out of here!
