This post reminds me so much of my Dad! Lately Aubrey has been telling us that she wants to be a librarian when she grows up! So cute! So she's been playing library just about every day! This is her most current library she set up the other night. Oh, and she always has her "assistant" in tow! Seriously, Tessa does whatever Aubrey wants her to do! Her favorite is to be her pet doggy! She'll even bark! Love these girls!
Our Aubrey girl turned 6 last weekend! She woke up the morning of her birthday, not early at all!lol, and opened up her presents from me and Mike and her brothers and sister.
{Don't you love Lukey streaking by with just his undies on?! Haha!}
She invited friends from her primary class over to help us celebrate! The decorations were really darling and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get more pictures, but with 15 kiddos running around my house I just couldn't find a second to get any more taken! We had a pinata & played a bunch of games.
What's a party without cake & presents?!
Mike took some of the boys out in the back to play 3 flies up!
And of course we had to have a dance party!;) I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but there are 3 other kiddos with red hair! It is so cute to see so many red heads sitting in the CTR 5 class every week in primary!
We LOVE Aubrey so much and of course can't imagine life without her! She is such a sweetheart and I love her little sassy attitude...it matches her red hair just perfectly! I remember when I delivered her 6 years ago. It was such an easy pregnancy. She came 3 weeks early, from the first contraction at 6:30 on a Saturday morning until she came just before 8:00 that same morning it was super fast and hard just how I like it! She was my littlest baby at 5 lbs, 8 oz. {The other three were over 8 lbs!} I remember thinking she looked exactly how I envisioned her, pretty blue eyes and red hair. She was our sweetheart baby being born just 2 days before Valentines Day. The nurses of course made a huge fuss over her! I swear at every shift change she had a different bow in her hair! She loves her baby sister Tess so much! She reminds me of me and my sister Ali. I've always loved Ali & thought she was the cutest thing ever and I can see that Aubrey feels the that same way about Tess. I am just so incredibly blessed to have her in my life!

Itty bitty braid for miss Tess! She wasn't in the "best" mood to take pictures today!lol!
Miss Tessa's palm and thumb don't need to be wrapped anymore! Yay! I am really just astounded at how fast and well they are healing! Her middle finger will need surgery to correct the curvature and then some skin grafting. The ring finger should be okay, but may need grafting as well. She hates the new medicine and wrapping, poor baby, so I'm hoping we can switch back to the old medicine soon! She is just an amazing little girl!

Our "Valentinesque" front door!
Tessa's new trick! She'll say, "Na na na na na!" and then take off running! Too much fun.
Just thought these shots of the cutest girls ever were way fun!
Letting Tessa out of my site for 10 seconds...
"Not a lame barbie movie!" {etc, etc, etc...}
Caleb about 2 minutes after his anti barbie rant!

My kiddos this past week!
Tessa being Tessa! Even though she's has a bandaged hand she's still our little mischief maker! This time she found my lipstick!
How we bathed missy before her hand was allowed to get wet.
My first day changing Tessa's bandage all by myself. Aubrey had to get her "nurse" on too!
Poor Lukey bonked his mouth! Complete mystery how he did it...poor kiddo!
Caleb & Mike on their hiking trip!

Just a few cute {and more importantly, easy!} things I did last week! The family rules is just the cutest! I mod podged it onto a sheet of metal. The idea is to put a magnet on whichever "rule" someone is following at any given time...fun, right? And the lantern I've had forever. I decided it needed a little representation of the Boulant name! Haha!
And I had to stick this picture in, even if it's a little grainy due to the sports mode my camera was in! I wanted to capture this quick so I didn't want to waste time changing the mode or whatever. She is such a cutie. She loves baby dolls and loves to put them her backpack. I overheard her saying "Shhh" as she was holding this doll the other day! Melted my heart!

I want to put this on my blog because this experience really strengthened my testimony of relying on the Savior...meaning trusting Him, turning to prayer when I'm scared, having faith in priesthood blessings and how much I know I'm blessed to have my sisters, husband and parents.
Last Thursday I found a lump in one of my breasts. I went to my OB that day and they referred me to a radiologist to have a sonogram and biopsy. All I could think about was chemotherapy. I believe I was prompted by the Spirit to let my sisters and parents know what was going on. I didn't want to worry them but I needed their support. I felt their prayers & the prayers of their sweet children. I have an amazing husband who is worthy of the priesthood to give me a blessing. The next day I went in for the tests. I had my sonogram and not 5 minutes latert they told me it's benign! I didn't even need the biopsy! I didn't have to wait for days for the test results! I felt like I couldn't really breath for two days and I got my breath back! I know the faith of my family sped this process along and gave me the strength to put my trust in the Lord. I am so grateful for the Gospel, the Savior, my family and my testimony. "I believe in Christ, so come what may". This is how I can deal with life's challenges because I can simply rely on Him.
My sister Carrie & hubs Mike came down for the weekend to support me! Their 5 girls are darling! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Carrie's baby Quincee...oh my goodness, such a chubby little cutie pie! We took them to some of our favorite places and we had a blast together!
We celebrated Mike's birthday on Sunday night!
We went up to Red Rock on Saturday...one of our favorite places!
Driving go karts! Caleb was beyond excited that he was tall enough to drive the bigger go karts all by himself!
