wassups!

So, I got a plate rack like this (only not like this cuz i got it for 8 bucks at big lots....)
and i know you all sit at home and you are like... allie has it so rough, i think i will get her a present because she works so hard at everything she does. and then you are like i bet a girl like her loves plates.
why, yes i do.
and to make your shopping a little easier here are plates i would love having on my wall!



aren't they all so pretty.
anyway- i will post a pic when i find the 3 most awesome plates to hang on my cheap plate rack.

nay nay got his mission call! (note: picture above is not from the night he got his mission call. since mentioned picture, nay has grown a full set of chest hair and doesn't go around shirtless with a nasty necklace on...)

Curitiba BRAZIL! what!!! how are we all gonna manage? he will do great. because he always does great at everything.
and we will miss him. but... it is the cutest thing to see him so excited.
i love you baby brother nay.

as a tribute to nay- i found an old poem he wrote about my mom. here it is. the last line is my ultimate favorite.

Mom

Being with you makes my heart sing

Even when you make me clean.

I love it when you talk to me

You make me think of butterflies

Fluttering through my heart.

Mother, I love you, though I may not show it

But I think of you, even when you are not with me,

I think you’re very special,

You know it, yes you do,

Because you have two men in love with you.
