Dave's and Melissa's Birthday!

Birthdays can be so much fun, and in June we had the privilege of celebrating two in our family! Dave turned 51 on the 3rd and Melissa turned 21 on the 8th! It is so nice for all of us in our immediate family to live so close together right now and we were able to get together and celebrate. This has not always been the case and we have enjoyed the last two years so much! We wish that we were closer than the one hour distance that separates us from our extended family as we have found that it is harder than we all realized to travel that distance to get together as often as we would like! But we LOVE it when we do get to see any and/or all of them! : )
Dave looks outstanding for his age!!!!! : ) : ) I guess you can tell who is writing this entry! He loves the outdoors and goes biking regularly and 4 wheeling when ever we can! He enjoys being with his family and appreciates the simple things of life! I love that about him. He loves landscaping and gardening and playing with the family. Any kind of sport makes him happy as long as he is doing it with someone he enjoys!
Melissa loves life! Did I mention Melissa loves life? Well she does! : ) And she loves people! She will be a senior at BYU in the fall and will be graduating in Public Relations. She will be doing an internship at BYU in their Sports program in the fall as well. She loves music, and dancing and working out and having fun! Melissa makes people laugh and we just love having her around!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE AND MELISSA!!!!

I can't believe how much your family has grown. I remember vividly attending Melissa's baptism and hearing for the first time "I Like to Look for Rainbows." And I remember her sitting right next to me (we were sitting on the floor in the RS room) watching a prophet's funeral for the first time. I saw the next post and ... Lindsey was so little when you were in good ol' Rockford. My how times change! Thanks for blogging. It's nice to see you and see how well you are all doing!
