My sweet Annie turned 13,

Driving home from Utah, Annie had her first driving lesson going 70 miles per hour.

Annie:

 is officially at teenager...

She wanted balloon's for her birthday, Grant went to the store

and brought home balloons to surprise her.

 Katie and Grant are so sweet and thoughtful.

Lila came over for breakfast and we ran to find items for her room

 and got some of the free food at Joe's farm house.

That night we went to Gecko Grille as a family.

All Annie wanted for her birthday was to decorate her room. 

 It now looks very pinterest inspired.

Conference weekend

 On Sunday morning we fix our traditional crepes. I make a light buttermilk crepe from scratch, vanilla cook pudding, fresh strawberries & banana's, a spoonful of whip cream on top. But this year I added more, something that made it more delicious. A homemade blueberry syrup to drizzle on top! I just improved upon our traditional breakfast.

 Conference weekend is one of my favorite weekends. This conference we sustained three new apostles because President Packard, President Scott and President Perry passed away.

 Two of our favorite cousins got to spend the night. Jolynn and Gloria Coon.

Another tradition we have are our mattresses. The girls bring their beds into the family room and we have fun.

The newlyweds came all day. It was so great to have them to ourselves.
