Lunch with Old Friends

We were pleased to go to lunch with Stacie's childhood friends from Lehi. I love these girls and felt like they were my own girls when we lived there. We have missed them a lot and had a great time catching up. Thanks, girls for letting me see all of you again! Love ya!

Manda's 80's Dance

Manda and Brittany attended an 80's Dance and had a Blast! Manda made her hair so BIG that I actually thought it was cute. I guess I'm old fashioned.

Fun times!

Kenadi stayed a few days last week and had a fun time with Rachael in the snow. It takes so long to put their snow stuff on that I wonder if it's worth it, but they sure have a lot of fun!

Isabel came to visit while she was there. Kenadi tried to keep Isabel entertained and even climbed under her toy with her to keep her company. It was very cute.

Happy 1st Birthday, Rhyder!!!

I remember the day you were born! I was so excited to see you! Daddy was there and helped Mommy while you were getting ready to come.

You've always been a smiley little guy. Even though you'ved had a hard time being happy all the time, you're a real cutie when you are!

I really love the picture where Ty is holding you, and you're pulling Chan's hair - typical. I like your bat costume, too. Look at you dancing to the singing bears, and the picture at the bottom where you're throwing a tantrum on the floor. Funny, huh?

You had a fun party on Jan. 1st, then a small party on your real birthday. It was fun watching you eat your cake without your hands. There were lots of people there to sing to you and celebrate your birthday. You really loved balloons, too. Happy Birthday, Little Guy! We love you!

Ski 2008

Gary took the kids, who were able and willing, on the annual ski trip to The Canyons. Gary, Shaun and Lisa, Jake, Manda, and LaCinda went on the first trip, and Gary and Chris went on the second trip. As you can see, I'm not a skier or snowboarder, so I stayed home with the grand kids and Ty and Rach.

They're getting ready!

On their way! Looks cold to me.

Here they go! Upper left show Shaun helping Lisa and Manda get the feel for the board. Bottom left shows Chris going strong....and wiping out! Top right shows Shaun boarding and Jake skiing thru the trees. Next is Manda on the board, and finally Lisa on the board. They had a lot of fun together.

Ty in the spirit of Christmas

Couldn't resist this picture of Ty getting into the Christmas spirit. Totally not like what you think of him, huh?
