~ My DAD ~

I have to say, he is such a handsome guy!!

We love you Papa!!

Ellie loves her Papa!! If my dad is around, Ellie is glued to him. She thinks her papa is the best! We can hardly get her away from him and when he isn't home she keeps asking "Where's Papa?" When something is wrong , she cry's and runs to Papa. If I tell her no, she will go and work her magic on him. I think they have such an awesome bond between them.

My dad is the BEST dad in the world. He is the most SELFLESS person I know. He will do anything for anyone to help them out. He has always taken such good care of us. He has such a good heart. I think my dad is the most Christ like person I know. He is so giving, understanding, forgives so easy and loves so many. I have always thought the world of my dad, even when I was young, I could see the greatness in him. I love you dad! I am so happy we got to spend your birthday with you!! Thanks for all you do for us and for being the Papa, dad and friend that you are. We love you!!

Carson loves his Papa. He gets so excited when we go up to visit, so excted that I have learned not to tell him we are going till the moment we are heading out the door because he bugs me about it every second. He sure loves being with his Papa. I love seeing them together.

Happy Birhtday G.G.

My Grandma was born on Valentines Day. Her name is Valene. Cute huh! Happy Birthday G.G. We are so happy that we live close to you again!! We love seeing our G.G. and Papa Mac every week! We call my grandma G.G. because she is Great Grandma to our kids. My grandma is the sweetest woman. When I first had Carson she lived right next door to me. As most of you know, Carson was a hard one, he would scream a lot and she would come and take him over to her house and rock, walk, and bounce him so I could have a break! She helped me out so much and will never be able to repay her for everything she has done for me. We love you G.G.!! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Todd!! It was Todd's Birthday on Feb 11th. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and Best Friend. With Todd's accident a few months ago, it opened both of our eyes that life is too short and can be taken from us at any point! I am so happy and thankful that he is still here with me. I could not live without him. I love you so much Todd. You are truly an amazing husband and dad. Carson and Ellie love you so much! Thank you for everything you do for us, you work so hard for everthing we have!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! We love you.

SwEet KeIrA is ours FoReVeR

Keira was sealed to Brooke and Brandon on Dec 27th in the St. George temple. It was such a neat experience. I have been to sealings before but never for an immediate family member. We were in the sealing room right off the Celestial room so it was an all white wedding. Keira was so cute through the whole thing. When they were all done she let out this big laugh! She is so sweet. I think she knew why we were there. I am so happy that Keira is in our family forever and I am so happy for Brooke, Brandon, Riley and Haley for their new addition to their family. We love you Keira!!! She is such a cute little thing!
The happy family!

Here is her dress. My very talented mom made it. She pieced two dresses together so it would be long. She looked gorgeous in it!

Keira is such a smiley baby! She has the cutest little laugh.

PiRaTe IsLaNd

Stan and Merilee took us to a place called Pirate Island for dinner and for Conner's Birthday party. The atmosphere was really neat but the food was really nasty and it took forever for them to bring us our food. The kids loved it. They had a little arcade and the pirate theme was really neat. It was kind of like being at the Mian in SLC but there was not entertainment and the food was disgusting. I don't know how you can mess up a pizza and salad but they did.?. Thanks Stan and Merilee, it was a fun night.

Berkley did not like this place at all. It had kind of pirate scary music and the lights were down low and flickered.
