Brandon's 30 years

Here is Brandon's Birthday slide show for those that

asked to see it again.

Brandon's Surprise Party!

Me and my family put together a surprise

party for Brandon's 30th Birthday.

To his surprise he had family, neighbors,

friends from school and mission there to

support him. Thank you all who came.

We all had a great time eating yummy food,

playing games, and watching a video of Brandon's

life.

Brandon is truly an amazing person and has

so much to offer. All those that have come to

know him are better people because of him.

not popped getting attacked by all the men.

What a trooper.

friend from the MTC. Zeb Ross

Brandon had done so much in his life to be proud

of. We put together a table of a few of his

accomplishments. Such as his high school and

seminary graduation certificates, his scout stuff

including his eagle award, his mission paraphernalia and

other things.

Brandon got a few gifts that made us laugh so

we had to post them to share. This is what the tag said...

And this is what they gave him....

The other fun thing was this Jonahs Brothers poster

along with an i tunes gift card. Brandon's friends

must know that he has a sense of humor.

Brandon's 30th Birthday

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY

BRANDON!!!

We love you!!!

The day of Bran's birthday to our luck he was

working close to home at the boondocks in

Kaysville so we brought him some doughnuts

and the girls made him birthday cards.

The girls love to visit daddy at work and don't

get the opportunity very often because

Brandon usually works so far from home.

That night we had family over for a BBQ, cake

and ice cream.

Patrick and Michelle playing with the kids.

The girls always get to help open presents.

I must say the gift of the night was from Kami

and Mikel. They got him a new toilet and this his

him opening the toilet seat!

Stephen and cute Aidan! Got to love his face!

The girls always help blow out the candles too.

These are a few of the gifts Bran got. His favorite

cereal, fruity pebbles, a new mouse for our computer,

tennis shoes, a grill cover and if you know Brandon well

enough you know that Brandon won't pay for anything if

he can do it himself. So us girls got him a electric shaver

and hair trimmers so he can give himself hair cuts.

A few nights later Brandon got to work installing his new

toilet. "The mans new throne"! Bran decided to put

the toilet in our bathroom and move ours down to

the basement bathroom.

Sierra had to play with the toilet box!

I made Bran sit on it for a picture before he

put it in the bathroom.

I swear Brandon can do or fix anything.

Out with the old on with the new!

I just want to add my thoughts for Brandon.

I can honestly say I'm a better person because

of my Husband Brandon. He has taught me

so much from the service he shows to others

to the love he has for the Lord for always making

the right decisions in life. I'm so lucky to have found

him and become his eternal companion for eternity.

I love you so very much Brandon!

Paige's Preschool Field Trip

This will be my 3rd time to the Fire

Station for a preschool field trip,

but this was Pagie's first time and

she absolutely loved it!

I love how she was listening so intently to the

fire man!

Sierra was not sure about

letting the fire man help her out

of the truck.

Paige loved hearing the fire truck's horn and sirens.

Yard work at Great Grandpa's House

One Saturday morning some of my cousins, Aunts

and Uncles went to my Grandparents house

in west valley to help them with their yard work.

My girls were so good to help and were happy

to do service for their great Grandpa.

Cute Emery!

My sister Kami's husband Mikel offered to

bring over some steaks to grill and help

Brandon to dry wall the basement.

Emery was a little fussy all night so we got

out the carrier and she liked it for a

while. Then she got attached to the color full,

musical barbie movie the girls were watching.

She is such a beautiful sweet baby. We love her

so much.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hallie Kofoed and Riley going to school.

Paige showing me her hat she made in

preschool and the candy the Leprechaun brought

her. When the girls got home from school they

found small green foot prints leading to some

candy. They spent the next 2 hours trying to

catch the Leprechauns. They had no luck. Maybe

next year!

This year we had my sister Kate and her family

over for a St. Patrick's Day dinner.

They made us Corn Beef and Cabbage with

some type of Irish bread. For dessert, which Kate

and me were the only ones who liked was Pistachio

pudding. We told the kids it was Leprechaun pudding, but

they would rather have ice cream or a cookie.
