MY FAMILY

I cannot say enough about how much I love love my family.

They are by far the #1 most important thing in my life

and that is how it will be forever. We went up there again this

weekend so I could teach a cooking class and to celebrate my birthday.

I will post pics from the class soon. It was so much fun!

My mom made my favorite meal and the mango sticky

rice from Benja's. It was to die for. Thanks mom!

So we have this tradition that is getting more and more

embarrassing the older I get. We go around the

room and say what we love about the birthday person.

Everyone said the nicest things about me and so now

I think I want to write one thing about each person in my

family that I love the most! Of course there is a million

reasons why I love each one of them but I will try

and narrow it down.

Dad:

I love how full of energy you are. I love that every

person you develop a relationship with, wishes

you were their dad. So many people tell me how lucky I

am to have you as my dad and I could not agree more.

My dad is friends with all of my friends and it makes us

all a big happy family.

Mom:

I don't even know where to start. I am so blessed to have

my mother in my life. I call her everyday and she is really

my best friend. She knows how to handle any situation

and helps me through some traumatic ones.

(I am a pretty dramatic girl). She gives me a sense of comfort

that no else can give me. I love you mom.

Camie:

My best girlfriend! I don't think I go a day without

talking to her. Seriously I am not much of a phone talker but

I can't go a day without venting to her and hearing what

is going on in her life. We laugh and cry together.

When she is sad, I am sad. When her heart is broken,

my heart is broken. She drives to my house about

twice a week even if we have nothing to do.

As long as we are together, we feel happy.

Jeddy (Elder Sexy Prince):

Jed used to pin me down and wouldn't let

me up until I called him a "Sexy Prince" ha ha ha.

He is on his mission in Alabama right now. I love

him so much. He is the best example of who I want to be.

He is so Christlike. He sees the good in everyone.

I think everyone thinks Jed is their best friend because of

how he makes you feel when you are with him. He can

make me laugh like no one else can. All the sisters

just adore him. He has been a perfect brother.

Erin (The Baby):

Oh my favorite rasta hippie chick! I don't know where

she got her chillness because the rest of us are pretty intense.

I love Er bear because she is such a sweet person inside

and out. She has the best heart. She has the most gorgeous

long blonde hair. She drives the boys crazy! She laughs

at everything I say and makes me feel really funny.

She has the most adorable laugh. She is the perfect "baby"

for our family.

Gino:

I love Gino because he is my baby. He loves me

unconditionally. He makes me smile by just looking at him.

I love him because he can't bark, cry or jump. (He is special)

Nicholas Jay:

I saved the best for last. My baby Nicky!

I really believe that Heavenly Father has a plan for

us and makes sure we follow our plan. I was going

to go to Utah State after my first year at Dixie

to attend their culinary program. That year they

had decided to discontinue their program

so I stayed at Dixie another year. After I graduated,

I decided to stay in St. George for the summer for some reason.

I met Nick in May. CRAZY! I am so grateful I

followed my plan and was there to meet the love of my life!

I love our life together and who we are together.

I love our goals and how he makes me feel. He is so handsome.

I am seriously the luckiest girl ever! I could go

on forever but I will save it for another day.

I am in love with Nicholas Jay Scano!

I Love My Family!

our weekend cont...

The babies were so much fun this weekend. I don't know

why we still call them "the babies"

because they are getting so big. Probably because

they will always be our babies

no matter how big they get. Muah.

Picture missing miss angelina bella

On Monday we all went over to the park and played baseball and soccer and tag and any other game we could make up.

I am still sore and it is thursday.
Don't worry, I am working on getting back in shape.

Alessia an I were inseperable the whole weekend.

That girl can entertain me for hours!

Then we went to Pirate Pizza and played all the games.

We are not very good gamers. Not that I am ashamed of that.

The pizza was really good surprisingly.

For Valentine's day we bought a new bed to go with the new headboard I made for Christmas! We are so excited about it and I will post pics of it as soon as I find the perfect bedding to go with it.

So we made each other homemade items to celebrate the actual day. I made him a book of all of our love notes and a collage of our love..

I am in love with love and with being in love!

That is a lot of saying the word love

Nick made me a headband stand! I was thrilled to say the least!

This is two days in a row for blogging! I think that is a record for me. Nick wants me to start blogging more because I hate writing in a journal. Here's for trying to be a good wife...

Our V day...

was the best one yet!

so we hadn't been to STG for Christmas yet so we

decided with our siblings that this weekend would be the best.

We got there Saturday morning and opened presents...

So fun! I think we should have extended

Christmas every year. We then went to check out a new

consignment store. I don't even remember the name but

it is not worth the time, even though the outside is very

inviting. For dinner we went to Benja's. We all got different

entrees and shared. It really was the best meal I can remember

having! It was a beautiful culinary experience. Everywhere we eat

I always want to go peek into the kitchen,

but since it was Valentine's

I stopped myself.

After that we went to a swing dance!.

There is a picture to come from the dance.

Since our brother Heinz is

a world champion ballroom dancer and our sister is a professional

ballerina, it was hard to keep up hahahaha.

I don't think we have laughed that hard since...I can't remember.

In the middle of bouncing around the dance floor we

would have to stop and contain our laughter.

It was picture perfect, framed from the 50's.

More to come on our fabulous weekend!!

brotha I miss you already

Umm....

Oh yes we will miss him...

We laugh a lot 

Oh my cutest brother ever! It is hard to let him go! Jeddy has finally left on his mission to BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA...For those of you who know and love Jed, you know that this mission fits him perfectly! Camie and I have discussed this a lot and we finally understand why people make such a big deal about their bros going on missions. We have always thought "get over it. What is the big deal, they will be back..." It totally sucks! Jed is the only boy in our family and he is so witty and clever and talented and perfect. I don't know how we are going to live without him. I feel so protective over him. I don't want any of the other boys to be mean to him....I want to be there to beat them up if they are. And what about those big mamas and papas down in Alabama? My friends have come home from their missions and say stuff like..."I was seriously glad when people would throw glass bottles at me because I could hear them coming...You can't really hear when a rock is coming at your head!"  What the heck! 

I am so proud of him! He is such a good example. He is so obedient and has such an awesome testimony! He makes me want to be a better person and I know Heavenly Father will watch over him for us. 

Angelina Bella

We are so excited to meet the newest baby in our family! Angelina Bella was born December 12, 2008! We are so glad she is finally here! She already has her own blog thanks to her computer genius daddy. See all of the darling new pics here . It is so so fun to have neices and nephews! That was an added bonus to marry into all these babies! Congratulations Angie, Heinz, Cruz and Alessia, on your newest dolly!

PS. Thanks Nicky for that blog post! I love you. You are a cheeseball!
