Happy Birthday Brennan & Valerie!

Happy Birthday to both Brennan and Valerie on Friday, April 11. Brennan is 21 and Valerie is 19. Both are gorgeous and talented and we are very proud of them.

It was weird to not have either of them here for their birthdays. When they were little we could have one cake and one party. Then when they got a little older we had to have separate parties and cakes. And the last couple of years they were both at home we had to celebrate on separate days. Now we mail them a gift and give them a phone call to sing Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday to you both.
We love you lots ! ! ! ! ! !

Thank you, thank you!

Thanks to all who gave me a good laugh and a very fun April Fool's Day! Valerie is not engaged and is not anywhere near it. Brett is her friend and the info about him is real but the picture of the ring is something I got from Photobucket and all other details were fabricated. Breathe a sigh of relief for us that we are not having another wedding so soon after Brennan's!

Another wedding!

Update: This post was an April Fool's joke!

As some of you know, Valerie has been dating this guy named Brett since January. Well, they are engaged! Things were going well but we had no idea they were going this well. She called me late last night and told me that he had taken her to the Logan Temple grounds and asked her there. No date has been set yet but they are thinking some time this summer. We are very excited to meet him when she brings him home next month! Here is a picture she sent of him a while ago and a picture of the ring. His name is Brett Struthers, from Vernal, Utah. He served a mission in Georgia.
