Happy Birthday AMANDA!!!
So I guess I can end my blog hiatus in order to post about my darling sister's birthday.
What better reason right? Right.
So here are 27 reasons I love Amanda...
Lets be honest the first and foremost reason is because she makes freakin' cute babies/kids.
But on a less {I'm a selfish aunt} note...
2. She is Martha Stewart. I seriously have stopped calling her Amanda and only refer to her as Martha. She can make anything, decorate better than those Domino folks and always is thinking of her next project.
3. She is an amazing photographer and has a great eye for color and composition.
4. She loves her girlies more than anything! She seriously does so much for them and makes their little lives perfect! She gives them fantastic birthdays and Halloween costumes and always makes sure they look ADORABLE!
5. She's still a cute pregnant girl = not fair.
6. She gives her everything to her church callings. She goes all out as young women's president and all her girls LOVE her.
7. She wants to be a gourmet chef. She is seriously going to be one of those mom's that makes TDF meals because she already makes them and loves to try new fun recipes.
8. Halloween is her favorite holiday...always a top quality in my book.
9. She dressed like a prom queen for Halloween. Awesome.
10. She is OBSESSED with ketchup. Sometimes we can't even tell what the original meal was because ketchup exploded on it.
11. When you look around her house you want to cry because you know yours will never be as cute. (or is that just me?)
12. When she was a kid she used to do an impression of Uncle Joey doing an impression of the woodchuck ALL of the time.
{Is this table made of wood?}
Remember that?
She would say it about the dinner table, the cabinets, anything that slightly resembled wood.
13. She hates strawberries. She used to cry when she had to eat them.
14. Once when she was pregnant with Eden she bit me. On my arm. On purpose.
15. She keeps her house perfectly clean all of the time.
16. She throws the best parties ever!
17. She loves to go to the lake with her family. I think she would live there during the summer if she could.
18. She married her perfect match. She and Lee are so similar.
19. Her favorite dessert is rice krispy treats.
20. She is totally the best sister to have when you plan a wedding. She helps with so much and puts everything together to look so classy and perfect!
21. She is my bone marrow match! Daniel and Emily were perfect bone marrow matches and so are Amanda and I. So pretty much when I can't have babies, need a new liver, or just have a hankerin' for some new marrow, she's my gal.
22. She is the best at finding deals when she goes shopping! She found her bedspread at Anthropolgie for only $200 and she always finds shirts for like $5 and still has amazing style!
23. Speaking of shopping, she can stay in one store for HOURS on end. She seriously has to touch each item before leaving.
24. She loves pop punk and maybe is secretly excited for the Blink 182 reunion.
25. The day after any holiday you can find her at Target picking up all the clearance items and stocking up on cute things for the next year.
26. She always anticipates the next season. When spring is about to come she is so excited for easter but when easter is about to come she is so excited for summer.
27. She is the best second oldest sister we have!
WE LOVE YOU AMANDA!

oh and happy birthday Amanda!
I laughed way too hard at the Ranger Joe/Woodchuck reference. I was trying to figure out a way I could be that for a couples Halloween costume party. I guess I'm pretty late but Happy Birthday Amanda!!
Hey! I was over by your house last night and wanted to stop by and see you guys, but I couldn't remember your apartment number.. I have some friends that might be moving into your ward, I wish we were still over there..
