HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!!!!!

ABBY is 16!!! Watch out boys! Abby is my oldest niece! I love her to pieces and she is simply gorgeous! Today is her 16th birthday~ I can hardly believe that she is 16! She is such a good kid and honestly one of the funniest people I know. Abby is a wonderful artist and a true one at that...every bit of her personality is one of an artist. She is 100% carefree. She is such a fun person to be around. We give her a hard time, but she is a great sport about it all and can just laugh it off. She is a good example to her younger brothers and sisters and to me...she has a great outlook on life and knows what's really important. I am so excited that she is a part of my family. I love you Abby! I remember when you were a baby singing every Disney song there was. We thought you were such a genius! ha ha...first grand-baby and niece! But really you were adorable and still are! I hope you have a wonderful day today and I sure hope some cute boy notices your awesomeness :) and takes you out soon!!! LOVE YOU!!!! Happy birthday!!!!!!!!

POOP (my going away present...ha ha ha)

How about this little Gem? Even through all the "fun" stuff...I managed to fall in love with this little one! I am going to miss these boys so much! I can definintely wait a few more years before I enjoy all the adventures kids have to offer, but I wouldn't give up these past few weeks for anything! I will miss you Dallin and Connor, but I am so happy that your mommy will get to see you soon! I know you have missed her! XOXO! Love, Aunt Nat

MOM

Today is mom's birthday!!! I am so sad that I am not with her and celebrating! But I know she is having fun in New York, although it's raining..booo! :( Mom, happy birthday..I only have a few minutes to type this, but I wanted you and the world to know how much I love and appreciate you as my mother and best friend! I am so lucky to have such a caring, loving and understanding mom! You are one who is ALWAYS willing to listen, love, laugh with and just be whatever I need at that moment! What more could I ask for. I enjoy ever minute I have with you and I am extremely thankful for your daily encouragement and faith in me as a person. Everyone who knows you loves you and I am so proud to call you mom! I hope I can grow up to be just like you and have the strength and capacity to love as you do! Happy Birthday mom! I hope you are getting spoiled today....I know you will! xoxoxo! Love, Natalie

Really???

ok... sooo all I blog about is my family and the ABC's Bachelorette! Call me crazy but these are two of my favorite things and the two things I really live for! I know...you don't have to tell me...I'm a nerd! However, let's just skip all that and get to this post! I LOVE this stinkin' show! I get so into it! And tonight are you kidding me?! Wes! Why do we girls not get it!? How can we not see through his crap!? I mean obviously we (the viewers) see it...thank you editing, but if we were dating him...we would not see it completely! So...I will try not to bag on Jillian too much, she's a little blinded by his singing and whatever country good looks he's into. But really he's not that cute...tonight amongst those other 3 classy seriously good looking MEN..not boys...Wes looked a little hick trashy to me! And HELLO can we please talk about Ed! He has been one of my favorites from day one...a little shy, reserved, yet mature, into her, and has that side flirty smile that just makes you melt! SOOO glad he is back in the picture! I say the bottom three are Reid, Kip and Ed...she'll see through Wes this week...how long can you lie...I mean really! ? And although I love Kip since he's from my home town and a good guy and the whole package...I think the last one standing is going to be Ed. They have a chemistry that she doesn't have with any other guy. They've "been through tough times " :) as much as you can in a 6 week period show...and "gotten back together"...:) and now it's all about "their true feelings and where they want their future to go"! Sorry I'm totally cheesy...but I am a sucker for love and romance! Once again I love this show. I feel for Jillian, I think she wants true love but is afraid of what that means and she is used to getting hurt so it's a big change to allow someone to really love you truely and that's why she still has Wes there...it's what she is used to. Now, the boys who left....Micheal and Jesse...SAD. That is all I have to say there! SAD! Poor Micheal he fell hard and well Jesse just got cheated, it's ridiculous...once again...REALLY WES?! Ok...I'm done! I promise to post about my adventures here in California soon....it's late and 2 little boys will be waking up sooner than I am ever ready for! Until the next dramatic rose ceremony.....
