J'Nett's and Nate's Birthdays 2011

My Birthday and Alec's farwell was an awesome combination. I didn't want my Birthday to take away from Alec's special day. It worked out great. Mom and Danya made me jello cake Yum! Nate's birthday was this week so we celebrated his Birthday and made him blow out candles too!







It was too windy outside so we had to go inside to blow out the candles.

What is going on outside? April 17th 2011

Blake needed to rehearse for a theater project called one acts. Chris suggested they practice at our house. They were practicing a zombie dance to thriller. They invited us to watch to give them our opinion. I t was fun to watch and give them our input.

Alec's farwell April 17th

We had family come from far away to support Alec. We sure do appreciate all the support!
It was fun having Mom and Dad, Nate, Aaron and Mama West who made effort to be here for Alec. Of course family here as well. Bob and Danya and family. We had a great time with good food and good company. Alec had some friends come over and we had some ward friends over.

Baby Shower April 16, 2011

Cassidy and Danya had a surprise Baby shower for me while my family was here for Alec's farewell. I had no idea. They did a great job the decorations were so cute and the food was great.
Chris also gave me a picture of Christ holding a toddlers hand by Greg Olsen. With a special note from the painter. The first picture below is me looking at the message on the back.



Many great gifts!

Alec's 19th Birthday

Went to dinner and came back late. Alec's friend Shailyn came by and gave him the Elder Brannan T-shirt. Which Alec loved.

Surprise for Alec Dec 2010

Alec was at his dad's for Christmas so we waited to give him his big surprise from Grandma and Grandpa Paxman, Bob and Danya, Matt and Celeste, Nate and Andrea and Aaron and Jen. This year for Christmas instead of exchanging presents they gave all the money they would've spent to Alec for his mission. Then the grandparents matched it. We were all touched by this especiallyAlec who enjoyed the letters and pear sauce. These are pictures of him receiving the package with letters and the check and the pear sauce of course.
