Jessika turned 13 on a Friday, but she had a party with her friend Kate at the Provo Beach Resort.

We also had a small family party on Jessika's birthday, but my parents couldn't come because we were sick.

Jessika and Taylor.  We have a tradition that we give 5 presents to the birthday girl or boy and then everyone gets a picture with them.

The kids always claim Daddy's balloons as their own.

Jessika is always sweet to take the kids on a few rides.

They had a great time playing games, riding the rides and eating treats.

We Are Grateful to be Sealed as a Family . . .

I am thrilled that we got to have our girls sealed to us.  It was a gorgeous day and we loved being together as a family.

McKay doesn't like the sun, but we did okay with pictures.

President Bateman married Steven and I in the temple, sealed McKay to us when he was a baby and now has sealed our three girls to us.  We love President and Sister Bateman.

My parents are so supportive of my family and we love them very much.

It was nice to see so many of my family in the temple with us in March.  I also had a few friends with us too.
