My Actual Birthday

I cant believe that I am now 17, that is just crazy!
To be perfectly honest my birthday day at school, was not that much fun. Mostly because people kept telling me that I wasn't happy enough, and that it was my birthday so I should be HAPPY. And I really was trying to be happy, but I was feeling quite sick and I just wasn't feeling it. Anyways when I got home from school I realized that I needed to do something to make my birthday a success. Soooo my cousins, the ones I love oh so dearly were staying at my grandma Gashs house. I really wanted to go for a walk with Anna at the Discovery park (even tho it was quite grey and cold outside). Anyways Rainey and I took the three Gash kids to the park. It was so much fun. And a PERFECT way for me to spend my birthday afternoon. It was exactly what I needed :)
I love all my cousins so much. I have a different relationship with each of them. But Anna and I have just really clicked. It probably has something to do with us always being together since she was a baby. Whenever we were at church, or parties, we were always together!! We were/ still are inseparable. She is probably the cousin that I am the closest too. Anyways I could go on and on. But I always have fun with all the Gash kids :) and I just love them!
Than after the park they came over and ate my birthday diner with me :)
Here are some pictures.

Birthday BUDS

This year Isaiah and I shared a birthday party :) It was a few days early, since his parents were going off to Prescott Conference. Anyways it was fun to share the birthday party. 

I cant believe that he is four years old! I remember when I held him for the first time like 2 days after he was born. He was just so little back than. He is such a Gash, and I thank God that he gave him to me for a cousin! 

 The Gash kids spent the night at our house after the party :)

I braided Annas hair.

 Sunday School was fun.

And its so cute that these guys are buds.

Kids

This is Destiny posting, I wanted to put up some cute pictures that I got of some lil kids at Nikki's Grad party. It was a beautiful day last saturday, and we had a great time just playing out in the sun. Well at least I had fun. I did a lot of pushing of young children on the swings. When they got tired of that, me and August played a little soccer, than we played tag (or catch me), it was fun :) mostly cuz it was easy to run away from August, usually i dislike playing tag but it was so easy.

Grace is getting so big

 I love this picture of August

 so cute!

This is a sweet picture
