Grandpa and Grandma Richardson's 70th Anniversary!

A few weeks ago we went to a party for Grandpa and Grandma Richardson's 70th wedding anniversary. Not many people get to celebrate 70 years of marriage so it was definitely a momentous occasion! Kaylan Mae with Great Grandma and Grandpa Richardson.

Grandma Young with all of her brothers and sisters.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ethan and I usually don't do much for Valentine's Day. This year we said that we weren't going to get gifts for each other at all. Well we both cheated! I got Ethan some frames for his college degrees. I decided I would put them in the frames for him. I got him two frames so that his Bachelors and Masters would match once he got his Masters. Well after I got his degree in the frame the other frame looked so empty. So to be funny I made up a fake degree. In the degree it says that "Ethan Young will in the future graduate with a Masters in Anesthesia". It started off being a joke but since it has been around it has really made me realize how close we are to Ethan becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. Ethan has worked really hard at school for quite a few years now. He always pulls awesome grades and has learned it all in Spanish! I am so thankful to have a husband who has great work ethic and understands the value of an education. Thanks honey I love and appreciate you soooooo much! Besides being good at school Ethan can be really romantic. Valentine's day he gives me a card that reads "Happy Valentine's Day - I hope it really sucks!" It was kind of strange but when I opened the card he had ordered me a brand new Dyson Vacuum! My last vacuum cost me $70.00 from Wal-mart and it is almost 10 years old. It is a piece of junk to say the least (but it still works). Boy does Ethan know how to make a girl go weak in knees!!!!! It was the best Valentine's gift ever!

My Valentine!

Here is Kaylan on Valentine's Day striking a pose with her Valentine's Day gift!

Valentine's Day Past!

This is Kaylan posing for pictures right before her 1st Valentine's Day Party!

I really think I'm going to change my blog name to Kaylan Young instead of Ethan and Kelly Young because she is just about the only thing I blog about. Sorry but I guess she is the center of everything at our house. Last week she was so funny! She can take what I say so literal. I told her that she needed to do a make up dance class and after the class she told me "I didn't get to do any make up". Yes she thought she was going to put make up on at dance. Then the next day I lost my temper with her about something and I said "I'm sorry mom shouldn't have lost her temper with you" so she says "are you going to try to find it". Laughing uncontrollably I say "I sure hope so".

I thought it would be fun to see Kaylan's last three years of Valentine's Day since I didn't have my blog going then.

This is Kaylan Mae's very 1st Valentine's Day Second Year

Last Year!

Isn't she like fine wine she gets better with time!!!! :)

Congratulations!

My brother Scott and his wife Trish were able to take their son Jaxon (who they recently adopted) to the temple last Saturday to have him sealed to them for all eternity. We were blessed to be a witness to this beautiful ceremony. We are so happy and excited for them.

aaaargh matey!

Kaylan had a pirate party at preschool this past week. When I was getting her ready for her party I was putting a few curls in her hair and she said "pirates don't have curls". Oh well I think she made an awfully cute pirate curls and all.

This is her aaaaaaargh!

Javelina Hunting!

Ethan and I went near Safford this last weekend to hunt Javelina. We weren't able to find any but we sure had fun getting to spend some muched needed time alone together (thanks Grandma). We didn't take a tent or anything so it was a bit chilly sleeping under the stars. Okay more than a bit I about froze to death.

Fun Friday!

Ever so often on Fridays we get together with Becky and Taryn to do something fun. A few weeks ago we decided to make Valentine's Day cupcakes and snow globes. The girl's had a blast making their cupcakes and craft as well as playing dress up.
