Since this post is about a week an a half late I realize that I might not be in the running for favorite Aunt anymore. Please know that it doesn't mean that I don't love you any less. You have been in my thoughts just as much if not more.
This year is hard for me to realize that my sweet little girls are turning 14. I remember spending a summer with you in Salt Lake and you and Lane were just little. It was so sweet to me how you called everyone "Hun". I remember you riding your little bike around that neighborhood. One of my favorite memories of you is after you moved to Shumway, you guys were living in the house just down the road from Granmda's. One day you and Lane were coming to the bus stop. I will never forget, Lane being a little dare devil. He would stick his foot out in the road, but you ran in front of him and looked both ways before you grabbed his hand and ran across the road.
I so enjoy all of the sweet memories of you guys camping out in our little trailer. It was such a blessing for me to spend time with you sweet little kids. Do you remember how cramped we were when we would all stay in our trailer. You usually got the couch and Lane and Colton on the floor, but we all loved it. What about eating El Pato & Potato chips? That is still one of my favorite treats. It made me feel so special when we finished our house in Taylor and you came to claim your room. Even though you didn't get to stay in it much it made me feel like you really wanted to be there, and I loved that. I loved coming to pick you up for church every Sunday. I was always so proud of you for going with me, even when you didn't understand a thing that was going on, it made it easier for me to go.
Kaelee - You have grown up to be a very beautiful girl, and not just physically. I am always amazed at your willingness to jump in and help. It makes me so happy when you are at Grandmas and you just do stuff to help without being asked. I love watching you as you help your brothers. It makes me smile to see you enjoying helping those around you.
Sister Sue.... you are amazing and I hope you remember that. I know that life isn't always easy, and that in the years ahead you will be faced with a lot of hard challenges. My challenge to you...Don't ever start doing anything you are going to regret or wish you could quit later. Remember that doing what's right is more important than doing what is popular.
Remember that Aunt Bec loves you. Someday's it is really hard living up here, I feel like I am missing seeing you grow up. I may be a million miles away, but you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Know that if you ever need anything I am here. Miss you tons and can't wait to see you again this summer! Hope you had a good birthday.
I love you!
Love,
Aunt Bec

Rustin?
The coolest thing
happened
on your
birthday!
You!!!
So it's your birthday today! I hope that you have had a really fun birthday... Did you get everything you asked for? Did you have fun in Primary.
I am so lucky that I get to be your Aunt. I love your sense of humor, and the care and concern that you have for others around you. Remember to be good because people are always watching you especially Hunter and your cousins. I know that as you continue to choose the right and be like Jesus that others will want to follow your example.
Remember I LOVE You!
Love,

Dear Kortni
Dear Kortni -
Some days it seems like time stands still and others it seems as if it is flying by. Today is one of those flying by days. It is really hard for me to realize that you are celebrating your big 14th birthday today. I still remember going to the hospital seeing you so tiny, hooked up to all those crazy machines and tubes when you were born. I thought the doctor was trying to kill you when he flipped your small body over and your head didn't move. It was hard for us to be so exited and scared all at the same time. I loved shopping in the premee section, trying to find you clothes to wear since you were so early. I remember watching them fold the new born diapers over, and then over again, just to get them to fit. You were so small, the size of a video tape in weight and size!
Tonight Korti - the big 14! And how I wish that I could share the day with you, at least a phone call, a card, a love, but I did have many many thoughts about you. I hope that where ever you are in the world that you know your Aunt Bec loves you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers! I spend a lot of time wondering who you look like now? Do you still have that sweet birthmark on your cheek or did you grow out of it like the Doctors said you would? Are you still as smart as you were when I last saw you? Do you still love animals the way you did? I hope that you still have your sweet giggle - that melted my heart every time. Did you gain your Mom's good sense of humor? Do you still hate pink? All questions I wish I could ask you. I sometimes imagine who you are today, wondering if you would know me if I saw you. Sometimes I dream about our reunion...it always brings me happy thoughts!
One of my most favorite memories are when we did our hair and dressed alike. I hope that you got a copy of those pictures somewhere, because they are treasures to me. You always had such a sweet smile!
I hope you don't mind if I have a birthday wish for you today. My birthday wish for you is that you are growing up to be a strong young women who knows who she is. I hope that your testimony of the gospel is growing and that you have a good relationship with Heavenly Father. I hope you can feel the love of a family who cares about you very much, even if we can't see you. I hope you know that you are not alone.
Kortni - You are one of the reasons that I want to live better each day. You are one of the reasons I have hope. I am hoping for that day that through the atonement all tears and hurt will be gone. And most of all, I hope you know that someday when you are ready, that I am here, just aching to love you.You are a very important part of our family! I'll save a seat for you...right next to me!
Missing you more every day!
Love,
Aunt Bec
