Happy Birthday Colleeny!

I wish I had better pictures (Obviously, I'm out of practice when it comes to taking pictures of real, live people) and I wish these would portray Colleen's obviously painstaking life's work in making such a cool family. She's good at surrounding herself with such awesome spawn. It's like a family of ultra-cool brothers and mega-awesome sister, and then I get to go home when they get annoying.

 Kidding. Noelle is never annoying.


Plus Paul is the perfect-o running partner for me. Luckily Colleen shares and has even been running a bit herself, so soon we'll be the perfect running trio.

It's been fun having Ethan, and now Isaiah in my class. Both of them grew up very suddenly and it took me by surprise. The girls are  fighting just to get a piece of them.

I'm sure Truman won't have any trouble picking from the leftovers.

 Colleen is amazing at everything she touches. I'm sure the Springs will take over the world, soon.
Happy Birthday Colleen!

Here's to New Beginnings...

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, JASMINE!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day and am proud of the things you have achieved. Here are 21 things that I love about her:

1. Jasmine loves our family and is always excited to see them.

2. Jasmine is super good with kids.

3. Jasmine is super good with animals, especially Ziggy.

4. Jasmine knows how to laugh and her laugh is infectious.

5. Jasmine is very charismatic and makes new friends easily.

6. I admire how caring Jasmine is when it comes to sick people, animals, stories, etc.

7. Jasmine is REALLY good at doing hair (that is why I only let her do mine.)

8. Jasmine is hopeful and seeks to see what the future holds, which is pretty cool.

9. Jasmine is good at putting on make up and always looks stylish.

10. Jasmine is a good sister and us three always laugh.

11. Jasmine is really good at playing video games, especially Super Mario Kart. I wish I was as good.

12. We love having sibling time which consists of playing Life, Monopoly or Phase 10.

13. Jasmine is a good friend and is super loyal to them.

14. Jasmine loves Laie and misses the culture and the people, another thing we have in common.

15. Jasmine is a good listener and I appreciate the fact that I can talk to her about things.

16. Jasmine is fearless: when we go to amusement parks, she's the first to go on ALL the scary rides. I am such a wimp and I can only watch from afar.

17. When we were little Jasmine and I were best friends and wore matching outfits all the time, I miss those days.

18. I love that Jasmine is passionate about our culture and about our roots.

19. Jasmine is a lot more "chill" than I am, she doesn't get phased as easily as I do, which is something I wish I could do more of.

20. I love that when I get excited about a movie or a show, Jasmine will be super excited, too; which is nice because I don't feel as silly. :)

21. She's a Hunt, how can I not love that?! Hehe.

Even though Jasmine and I haven't always gotten along, she is still my sister and still very close to me. I love you Jasmine and am proud to have you as my sister. I hope you have a wonderful day because you deserve it!! xoxo -Y
