June is a busy month

Birthdays and father's day make june a busy month for us. My birthday was on the 15th (father's day) and Nate's is today! (29th). For my birthday I made manicotti and carrot cake for father's day. My brother's wife was out of town so he ate with us. Brad doesn't like carrot cake, but he loved mine! My carrot cake is yummy, I have to give Marie credit, it's her recipe. My birthday was kind of lame, didn't feel like a birthday, I found out my great grandma, age 99 1/2 passed away the night before. All the cards and presents came after my birthday, so I celebrated all week, which kind of made up for it. Nate gave me stainless steel measuring cups and spoons. My mom gave me a cuisinart grill and I love it!!!! Nate's birthday is like mine ... he doesn't feel like it's his birthday. He got a new outfit from me for Father's day/birthday combined so ... he got that already. But Im making him steak and chocolate covered strawberries! Yum yum. My other brother Julian was in town this weekend which was awesome. Nate's spent that last two days in 12 hours of life insurance classes ... he's becoming a financial planner. Today was the deadline to apply for the business school at BYU so we are hoping to hear soon if Nate got in. I don't have any good pictures to go with this so I just put a cute picture of Joey!
