Happy Fathers Day! =)

Happy Fathers Day!

How could I not post something up about my wonderful dad?

I have the best dad in the world :)

My dad's famous halloween masks. These masks are the best! I couldn't

count how many times he has scared me with these!

I love doing out door things with my dad.
This is my dad and Grandpa on a 4-wheeling tradition

my dad started. They're so fun!

This is my dad and I at a daddy daughter rockette party. We have so much fun!

Now obviously my dad is no lover of dance...but my dad never missed ONE of

my competitions. He was at every solo competition,

and every team competition. He danced at every popette routine (and

did really well actually) and supported me 100% of the way.

Thanks dad! It means the world to me!

So like I did for mothers day, I'm going to post the

top 10 things about

my dad!

10. When I was little and was in trouble,

it was dad I would run to. He wouldn't get quite

as mad as mom would ;)

9. Dad can fix anything! This comes in handy with

my tendancy to be a clutz...

8. Daddy Daughter Campouts. When i was about 10 or

even younger, we started a little tradition to

go on a fishing campout. Just Dad & I =)

7. Although it took a while for my dad to admit it, he

will always watch american idol, dancing with

the stars, and so you think you can dance with my

mom and I. He's become quite the judge!

6. Nothing beats his steak! He can always grill a great

tasting steak! Mmm!

5. My dad has a love for fishing, hunting and being outdoors.
Although I don't always enjoy these quite as much, I

think it's a great hobbie for him and the guys. It's something

I hope to always have around in my family!

4. Teasing! Dad can tease me, and I can tease him.
Enough said =)

3. My dad loves the gospel. You can always find him learning

about the church. He loves any church book and is a

great example! I'm so glad that he has always been a worthy

priesthood holder for fathers blessings whenver I need!

2. I love my dad's humor. He gets it from HIS dad, and even

though my mom may not appreciate this...I love their

humor! Even if it's a little cruel or "not so mom approved",

I love it! I hope my husband one day has a humor

like my dads =)

1. Number one, and the best of all...he's MY dad. Nobody

could ever replace my amazing daddy.

LOVE YOU DAD!!

Birthdays & Blessings!

Last weekend was quite eventful! Friday was my birthday, and Sunday was Paxton's baby blessing. It started when I woke up on Friday and Brooke had decorated the house all cute with birthday decorations!

Soon after, all the family got here. My whole family came, my aunt, uncle and cousins, my grandma & grandpa Horton, and Aarons parents and two brothers and their families. Needless to say, there were lots of people here! I worked that day and got home around 4 to see all the guys helping Aaron finish their yard. They used to have rock out front and have been putting grass in. With all the guys together, the work flew by and was fun for them too!

In the process...

The final result :)

Aarons brother decided to add a special addition and create a waterfall, too!

After the yard was finished I got to choose where to go for my birthday dinner. I chose Famous Daves...excellent choice if I must say :) we called ahead since there were so many of us, but we got a nice little area to ourselves to have a fun birthday dinner!

They brought me a HUGE plate of ice cream for my birthday dessert. I couldn't help but put this picture on...look at Hunters face. He was in heaven with this big plate of ice cream!

After dinner, we came back to Brooke & Aarons and had a yummy chocolate birthday cake and cookie dough ice cream. Thanks everyone for a good birthday =)

Saturday was a fun hang out day. The guys all went golfing, we went swimming at the hotels, and just hung around having a good time together.

Sunday was Paxton's baby blessing. What a good blessing and fun day to celebrate this cute little guy! =)

Paxton Bradley Birch =)


Aarons brother Bryant blessed their little girl the week before, so we had to get some pictures of the cousins in their blessing outfits!

My family =) Hunter wasn't too thrilled about being taken off the trampoline to take pictures...
Thanks everyone for a fun weekend!!
