The Big 32!

I can't believe I'm getting so old. The big 32 & having one last baby! Avery loves birthday's & gets so excited for them. She was devastated on Mother's Day because she had just been diagnosed a few weeks before and we hadn't been to any stores to do any shopping. All I wanted for Mother's Day was her to not be in pain and her not to have cancer. She was in a lot of stomach pain that day & honestly it was a really hard Mother's Day. I hated watching her in so much pain & not being able to help her. My dad & Justin came over and gave her a priesthood blessing and her hours of pain seemed to ease up enough for her to go to sleep. I ran down to Karli's baby blessing in Cedar and was sad when the kids sang, I often go walking. This was a song Avery & I had sang ever since she was little in the primary song book & I hated that she couldn't be here enjoying it. Grandma Kathy rounded up some random (fireworks, soup, bubbles, pens, gum) but very thoughtful gifts that Avery had wrapped to give me & that made her feel better. So on my Birthday June 17th, she was so excited. She was off the steroids & feeling pretty good. Johnny & I had went to St. George to finally do some shopping for Avery & Kelsi's baby brother before he arrives in August and we brought them both some shoes home to surprise them. They love gifts.

Avery surprised mom with balloons all over the ceiling, a big sign, her & Grandma had made a cake and she was so exciting. She had been calling her Dad all day seeing when we were going to be home and they would whisper back & forth because it was so top secret. So Sweet! Did I mention she loves Birthday's:)

She loves to blow out candles. I really do try to get pictures with Kelsi in them also, but she's at that age that she's just not into it.

After our fun celebration she wanted to pose for a few more pictures. It was so cute how she was so excited for my birthday. I love her & her sister. They made it a great day!

I even posed with her! I obviously had a long day of shopping for baby Carson and was wore out with all the celebrations:)

So good to see her happy and smiling like all 5 year old girls should do!
