Our whole lives he has been making jokes. He is also an amazing artist and is now embarking full speed ahead on his entrepreneurial career. We love you Tay and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Lots of Laughs when the Oborn's get together!

Fun Tag

I got this off my friend Mindi’s blog and it looked pretty fun, so here goes!

What television show or movie did you want to be in when you were little?
Full house

Which character or star?
DJ, totally
Most embarrassing moment your friends will never let die?
The time I peed my pants at the park. It’s a long story so I won’t bore you with it, but let’s just say I was 16, hanging out with older boys, and I tried to convince everyone I had fallen in a puddle…on a hill…there hadn’t been rain for days.

Your proudest moment or accomplishment?
The day I became a mother. There is NOTHING on this earth that has made me fill more fulfilled and that I truly had a purpose in this life.

What adult did you have a crush on when you were little?
I went through a Keanu Reeves thing when SPEED came out, I also loved Mike Seaver from Growing Pains.

What habit or personality trait do you have of your mother or father?
I laugh and talk loud, quote movies, and look just like my mom. I love reading, good food, and history just like my dad.
What did you want to change your name to when you were little?
I tried to go by my middle name, Kimberly, for awhile but no one would call me by it.

Who was your first kiss?
Joel Worthington on the stairs at Camille Loftin’s 6th grade graduation party.

What are 3 adjectives that someone from high school or middle school would use to describe you?
Talkative, religious (I was in the minority on that one), silly

What hairstyle, clothes, or other accessories did you rock back in the day when it was cool?
I totally had HUGE bangs, I tied my shirt in a knot on the side, and I wore neon socks. Oh wait! I forgot Koolats!

What job did those long and annoying surveys in school say you would be good at?
I don’t remember, I think teacher was on there once.And what did you try and make the test result outcome be? ???
What made you laugh harder than you have ever laughed before?
I laugh hard all the time. Brian says things that make me cry I’m laughing so hard, he also makes up songs that make me laugh!

Favorite memories of hanging out with your best friends?
Probably sleepovers and TPing all the boys we thought were cute. I was the MASTER TPer.

What's the most trouble you have ever got in with your parents?
I never got in that much trouble, so I don’t remember a time they were way mad at me. The worst thing I ever did though (I think) my parents, mainly my dad, was just way disappointed in me, and that’s way worse anyway. He told me I couldn’t get my ears double pierced. I really wanted it though so the day my family moved to Montana (I got to stay in Kansas an extra month with friends) I went to the mall and got my second holes in my ears. I tried to keep it from my dad but he found out and was way sad. I felt really bad (but kept them of course) but as luck would have it the very next General Conference Pres. Hinckley came out and said that girls should only have 1 piercing. So I took them out…I’m pretty sure my dad was grinning when he heard the prophet say that! The ONE thing I ever do against my dad’s will!

What was your 5 year plan when you had to write it out in high school?
Go to BYU and then get married.
And last but not least...What is your 5 year plan now?
Keep being a mom and popping out those babies! And maybe be one of those moms that creates something in their house, sells it, and becomes a millionaire.

I would like to tag....anyone and everyone

A Day at the Farm

You wouldn’t know it with the SNOW we woke up to yesterday, but the beginning of the week was so beautiful! I couldn’t stand being inside with temperatures close to 80 so my friend Abbey and I took our girls down to Thanksgiving Point to the Animal Farm. The girls had so much fun and it was a great way to spend the day.

Anna & Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn thought it was hilarious feeding donkey!
Admittedly, Kaitlyn spent more time getting in and out of the wagon than she did looking at the animals.

Kaitlyn had fun watching the ponies but once I got her riding one she kind of freaked out! Sadly, we had the camera on video instead of picture so I don't have any pictures of it. It was quite a scene with Kaitltyn screaming and me holding her on the pony with all my might!

She LOVED the birds!

Allyx & Dan's WEDDING

So I am FINALLY posting about my sister’s wedding! It was absolutely perfect! Allyx was gorgeous and Dan was beaming. The only glitch in the whole day was when temple workers took Dan and Allyx to different locations after the sealing to wait for each other…it was a little while before they figured it out! Funny! I am so happy for both of them. I’ve always loved Dan but seeing the way he looked at Allyx all day truly assured me that he is the one for her…he is her Edward! I loved being in the temple that day. The Spirit felt during this sacred ordinance is so amazing and I love being reminded of the wonderful day Brian and I knelt across from each other. I was a bawl-baby as I watched my little sister take this important step in her life. I love her so much and even though I am 6 years older than her, I am so grateful for her example to me and for her love and all the silliness!

Kaitlyn went running when she saw her Aunt Allyx and new Uncle Dan. She loves them...and the spotlight!
Sisters!
The boys thought it was fun to throw Kaitlyn around, Kaitlyn had fun too. (Sorry to my Nonie, she was so freaked out by it!)
Best cousins! Me and Kallie

Brian's mom made the cake and it was beautiful! Thanks Sandy!

Twinner Cousins

So I have been a HORRIBLE blogger lately. With the new baby, the wedding, and my whole family being here I was a little busy. Once that was over, I was busy getting life back to normal. So there are my reasons for the blogging-lapse! I’m going to post pictures from Allyx’s wedding once I get them (I’m a dork and forgot my camera) so for now I thought I would share some cute pictures of Kaitlyn and her new cousin Camryn!

Camryn is dressed so stinkin cute everyday! I was perusing Dane and Tam’s blog when I came across the picture below. Cam is wearing the same outfit I used to put Kaitlyn in all the time. They both are so cute, I love it! I can’t wait for these two to grow up a little and be best buddies!
