happy birthday Renée!



Renée is the tenth child in our family and the seventh girl. Since she was born when I was a teenager this is the youngest photo I have of her! She is a skateboarder, snowboarder, biker (fixies only, please), and fashion designer. She is also an accomplished chef and until recently was in charge of the dessert menu (including crafting her own recipes) at a well-loved Provo restaurant. She is the genius who created "taste for taste," our family food blog. I can always count on Renée to look cool and go big, all without drama. Very soon she will soon be in Singapore learning to speak Indonesian! Amazing. Love you, Naenae.

happy birthday Matt!



Matt "Hacksaw" (front and center, in the adorable sweater) is the sixth child and second boy in our family. He is funny and likes to remind people of that fact. He also is in law school, tailors his own clothes and somehow manages to post photos of all his outfits on his family fashion blog. His blog posts are hilarious; the best are are his solo road trip videos. He loves Michael Jackson and just got back from a pilgrimage to Neverland Ranch. Matt is awesome because when I needed a hoodie from H&M he called me from the store and described each and every hoodie in the the store individually over the phone until I could decide on one, then he bought it, packaged it, and mailed it to me. Love you Matt!
