Happy Birthday March babies

Kortni & Iailey on Iailey's birthday. I didn't get a pic of Kort on her bday, but I had this one from Iailey's bday that's so cute of them.
Yesterday me, mom, Iailey, & Ellidy went down to Salt Lake to celebrate my great niece and great nephews 1st birthday! It was a quick day trip, but we were all so excited to go to their party and see everyone! One year ago Vanessa and Cohen were born on the same day March 15!It was crazy that they were born on the same day, but how fun to share a birthday with your cousin. That seems to be the way it works in our family, we either share a birthday or have it real close to someone elses. Matt and Easton had to stay home for Easton's hunters ed. test(which he passed, yeah!)Sun Devil practice, and they went to a late birthday lunch for Matt's mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Cathy on March 9th! This month is also my niece Kortni's birthday, it was March 12th. We took her out to Cold Stone the other night for her birthday(we love that yummy place). Happy Birthday Kortni! Next is C.J.'s birthday on March 17th, Happy Birthday C.J.! In case your wondering a lot of my nieces and nephews are closer in age to me than my brothers and sisters. C.J. is only 3 years younger than me (30 is sneaking up on you ha!ha!) that is how I am already a great Aunt. I love it that way. I had brothers and sisters to look up to and watch after me and nieces and nephews to play with growing up. I have to write about my funny story when I was 3. They told me I was going to be an aunt when I was 3 and I thought that when C.J. was born I was going to turn into an ant! I screamed and cried and didn't want him born because I thought I was going to get stepped on and squished. Give me a break I was only three, that was the only ant I knew of at the time. Well I guess I finally figured it out, and was thrilled to have someone to drag around and make him play school with me up in the old shack when we were little, so I learned that being an " aunt " wasn't so bad after all. Now I have 22 nieces and nephews and love being an aunt to all of them. Anyway happy birthday all you March babies. My niece Jessica, her husband Paul, my great nephew Cohen, My nephew C.J. my great niece Vanessa, and C.J.'s wife Di.


Cohen was all about digging into the cake and Vanessa was a dainty little girl with her cake. It was so cute watching them.


Vanessa, Cohen, and Ellidy. It will be so fun watching them grow up together.
