Jeff's Graduation and Grandpa's visit

Soo my baby brother Jeffrey has graduated from high school!!!  He was born when I was 8 years old and I have always viewed him as my little baby! ha ha.   But that soon had to change when he started to tower over me!  It is so crazy to think he is graduated.  Then he turns 19 in a months time and should be off to serve a mission shortly after that.   It is insane how fast time goes!

Here is a pic of him and my family....supporting Budweiser?? lol   He has grown into a handsome young man!

For graduation my Dad flew down from Colorado and we were able to visit with him.  We were also able to visit with my mom's sister Melinda and her husband Kory, but I do not have a picture with them!  But it was a really great visit with family from out of town to celebrate Jeffrey!  Over the crazy weekend we caught Noah reading to his sister Makenna at Grandma Timmon's house! :)

Makenna 8 months!

Makenna is getting bigger everyday.  She recognizes high, bye, patty cake, kisses, give me a five, ba ba (bottle), and yum yums (food)!  She says dada and mama and baby talks often.  Of course just like her brother...if she is happily playing it is "da da"  If she is crying and sad it is "ma ma."  lol  She is scooting forward and backward on her tummy, but has yet to crawl normally.  Just army crawling for her!  Here she is in the crawl stance for her 8 month picture....but that is all she does.  She gets in the stance and then drops to her belly to army crawl around!  She has brought much joy to the Starits' household and we love her so much!

Still no teeth at 8 months but she loves to bite down on her gums and can often be spotted with a toothless grandma grin! :)

Noah's Birthday

Noah officially turned three years old!!  It is hard to imagine that my extremely tiny, four weeks early, purplish colored, cone head newborn baby is now a big three year old boy! :)  He had a great time with family and friends to celebrate his party Lightning McQueen style.  He had many guests including many friends and he had a lot of fun.  The day of his birthday was super windy and chilly and I planned to have a lot of it outside, but it was a good time anyway!

 It was a Cars themed birthday party so he had to wear his new Cars shirt! ;)

Unfortunately I took most of these decoration pictures after the party! But here is how it was decorated!

We had to have our Organic Fuel to stay hydrated! ;)

This was decorated with balloons as well, but the wind blew them away! lol

The kids had to tow for Cars stickers inside of TowMater's box~! :)

Romane's House of Body Art provided Cars tattoos!

This was Noah's favorite!  You were able to put tires on your Car (Luigi's Casa Della Tires) and then decorate it!

I think everybody had a good time, especially Noah!  Just a little blurb about Noah.  He is still so smart and enjoys coloring, puzzles, games, and of course the movies Cars and Cars 2! :)  He still loves to go to Cabellas and often says:  "We haven't been going to Cabellas in a long time."  He loves to hang out with his little group of friends and asks almost everyday if he is going to see them.  He is a very happy little guy and tries to be a good big brother to his sister.  We sure love him and are so thankful to have him in our family.

Wicked!

This post is a little out of order, but I was able to go watch the musical Wicked at ASU Gammage.   We went on March 2nd and it was AMAZING.  I went with my mom, brother Jeff, and step sister Jessica.  We started the great evening with In and Out, which is always yummy!  Then we walked around and killed some time before getting to our seats.  From start to finish the musical was awesome.  Of course afterwards I had to have the soundtrack and have it on repeat!  I highly recommend going if you ever get the chance!
