18 yrs old

I can't believe 18 yrs ago I was blessed with another little girl! I was so excited to have a 2nd daughter - I love my sisters - and I wanted my daughters to have the same thing! I love Lauren - she brings so much life to our family! She loves her family, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents so much! She is a very thoughtful person! She has been known to write letters to great grandparents, drop off things at school for her siblings and is always thinking of ways to show her love for people! She is always for the underdog! She is not afraid to tell you her opinion! She is one of only a few conservative kids in her highschool and she stands up for what she believes everyday! She is an excellent student! Very gifted in Math - as a Senior in High School she is taking Calculus III at the college level at University of Idaho. She hopes to follow in her dads footsteps and go to Medical school and be a Cardio Thorasic Surgeon - Which I have no doubt she could do! She is an incredible kid and we will really miss her when she goes to college! Happy Birthday Lauren - We love you!!!

We got her 18 presents for her 18th Birthday!

Grace was so excited for her to open her present! (Juicy Sweatsuit!)
I know, Grace gives really nice presents

all the kids right before opening presents! We get up at 6:00 am around here for scriptures & family prayer, before the high school kids go off to early morning seminary! Painful, I know!!!
