Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be 21 years to the day that my wonderful twin sister will have been born! 

Dont worry if you feel old I fell worse! 

What can I say about these 2 amazing gorgeous girls!

Megan who is the oldest by 30 seconds received the wonderful gift of life a couple weeks ago. She managed to live after falling 260 feet off of a cliff without a help or rope attached to her. She is a survivor and I cant help but think that whenever I am in a situation where my life has narrowly survived that I will act as graceful and have as much perseverance as Megan. I think if I was in her situation and would have been told that my foot would have to come off I would have lost it. But she hung on and he foot was saved! I would have not healed as quickly as she. I admire the way that she takes a bad situation and sees that the world has more to offer her. I am thrilled and pleased to have this wonderful young woman as my sister and some day (dont get ideas people) Aunt to my children. (again not happening ANY time soon.)

Mandy has just as wonderful spirit as Megan. Mandy has had many health issues for many years and some that they cant seem to figure out. I know as any person would do she get frustrated with the doctors for not figuring it out and she get frustrated with her body that it doesnt function the way it needs to. But I admire her as well. I would have given up years ago and would have stopped going to doctors and probably would have been suffering. But she keeps going and keeps trying to get answer. Despite the pain she is in she manages to have fun and to still play and hang out with her friends. You wont hear much complaint from her about miserable she is expect maybe to my mom and dad. I admire that. I am such a whiner face! I am thrilled that God said Mandy and I could be sisters and she could be an aunt and role model to my children. (People I am trying to be sincere please dont get the idea that I am having a child)

Happy Birthday to Megan and Mandy!

Grandmas Pillow

For my grandparents Christmas presents the last couple year I have made some sort of something and gave it to them. This year it was a pillow with AZ on it and UT and our initials they loved it!

The whole thing. I made the pillow by hand!

Ice Skating

When I went up to Utah in June we did a BBQ for the friends and family that wanted to come see me. This time we did Ice skating. Even Megan who is still in her wheel chair got to skate and she had a blast drifting around the corners and we all had fun. Only one person fell and of course it had to be me!

Everyone took Turns Helping Aniston

And helping to push megan too. The walker and the wheel chair helped me not to fall.

Anistons first go around. This walker was a lifesaver for her and me...

The gang.

Aniston and I

Sants Pirate Ship

So While at the Bolander Christmas we all thought it would be fun to do gingerbread houses. Stefen and I being who we are had to go out of the box and make Santas Pirate Ship... With an engine thing and everything.

Christmas Day

We all know that I fail at actually taking pictures... I think a nice camera might help me take more pictures. We spent Christmas with both familes and although it was crazy it was a blast!

Anistons new princess fake nails!

Christmas Eve Pageant

Christmas eve consisted of a nutcracker dance by Aniston and the funniest pageant ever!

We had a blast watching all the gift opening and dancing and eating yummy food.

Bolander Pictures

While we were in Utah we were able to find literally half an hour where we all could get together and take pictures with the Bolander side of the family. Hopefully when we go up in May we can do the Whatcott side of things. Stefen and I havent had pictures done of us as a couple since the wedding so we did some couple shots too.

The whole group!

Making faces!

This is what happens when Stefen tries to talk during a picture! I look awesome and he looks well.. Like Stefen

I am slowly working on Utah posts and others I just have got to figure out how to get the pictures off the camera because I lost the card converter thing so bear with me!
