Paisley turns NINE

I love a Birthday morning, it's so fun to see the excitement these early Birthdays bring.
The kids were excited to see what was in all those packages!

What a sweet little pixie girl Paisley is. I love her Birthday, I love devoting a day to her, she loves it all so much. Her one request with her cake was combining her two favorite things: Cats and donuts. I obliged, of course.

We delivered her cute-cute invites, which she happily helped make.


It's her *Golden* Birthday. Get it?

Paisley off to her Birthday day of school. She brought Blow-Pop suckers to hand out to her class.

Nine!

Paisley is a sweet little doll. She appreciates little things I do for her, she sets up her room just so, she loves to help with dinner, she enjoys tidying up the house and can really get things sparkling. She points out cute things to me she finds, she loves going on little outings, just the two of us. I tell her all the time, she is such a delight and I am so grateful she is in our family.
Her party was really fun! She invited the usual girls~ they seemed a bit wild and crazy, but they all had a great time.

They decorated mirrors with all sorts of craft items.

They decorated donuts~ again, Paisley's favorite.

I had several fun games for the girls, and we ended, of course with Silly string in the backyard.
We had family over that evening to help celebrate. Everyone was so nice to come join us in the Kitty-donut cutting and help make it all so festive.

I snapped a pic of Paisley getting ready for bed. Paisley in her little Tinkerbell robe, bun and socked feet is just the sweetest.

We love you, sweet girl!

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam. Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day. My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
