YIKES-A 16 year old Granddaughgter!!!!!

It is HARD to believe that 16 years ago

I held in my arms a sweet innocence little baby
Breana. Now she walks, talks and DRIVES!!!
We had a GREAT party with everyone there.
I made a slide presentation of the past year,
we had a baroque and her friends came.

At our Relief Society in March, I
purchased a darling scrapbook
made by Staci Wright at our
Service Auction. Then I rearranged it
to make a scrap book of parts of Breana's life.

It was fun to remember so many
wonderful memories. I love her tons!
On the computer, I made an iron on for a
back pack, with a camera, coupon for Disney
dollars and an autograph book all for the
Disneyland trip. This is the b-day gift for
each grandchild this year since our trip
to Disneyland is our birthday and
Christmas gifts to them. They all seem fine
with that decision.

Crusin' with Shed

Sheldon came over with Hayze. She did NOT want me to take
this picture BUT she was so excited to ride the scooter,
helmet and all. Then it was sweet to watch. . . .


as they rode up the street together. Somethings never change,
because just like when Sheldon was little, as they rode away,
part of my heart went with them as I prayed for their safety

Melanie's 26th Birthday

For Melanie's birthday I made Big Dutch Baby

and took stuff for the little girls to set the table before
they went to work. Marley was so happy
to set the table for her mom. They love their mama.
We put the candle in her piece of Big Dutch Baby.

I made Melanie a Shuttefly book of her life.
I love her so much. When I made the book
I was reminded of what a wonderful,
talent person Melanie is.
I hope she could see it from her book.

These silly girls wanted to wear my glasses.

We had a good laugh especially when Livi wanted
to be like the big girls.

Disney on Ice in Arizona!

There were 28 of us in five cars that traveled from Queen Creek to Phoenix to see Disney on Ice. I had received the wrong tickets so some of us missed the first 30 minutes while the security people cleared our seats for us. It was a great watching our favorite Disney characters and the Incredible's BUT the best part was being with these wonderful people who I love dearly! We were the last people to leave the building, every security guards was on us to get out instead of taking pictures and visiting. My sister Mellisa helped me and we set our camera's on a trash can then set the timers to get this picture. Also Andrea and Dee were very gracious to open their home to ALL of us!!!

Mya, Jaxon, Makayla, Taysja, Dexton and his friends Alfredo enjoyed the show.

After wards Mellisa lined up Derek, Alec, Jaxon, Dante and Dexton in ORDER!

Mellisa was always staging a photo shots.

The Spring Trip to Andrea's

We had stations for all the cousins to rotate: coloring 96 Easter eggs went well except, Alec and Dante got the raw eggs. It was a real surprise when they tried to roll them by throwing them! This shows Connor and Dexton coloring their eggs.

Terril and Mya created a new way of rolling eggs. We had fun at the park down the street from Andrea's with the little kids while the big kids scattered the Easter eggs for the hunt in Andrea's backyard.

Melanie, Terra Sue and baby Vi enjoyed the activities.

Father and Daughter

Mellisa wanted a picture with her nieces but I didn't understand and ran to jump in the picture under Crystal who had tried to do the splits.

Our Easter Celebration

Our host was glad to find and kiss the lucky egg.

Our hostess painted these boxes for each child to decorate.
Our special thanks go to Dee and Andrea. THANK YOU!!!

One of the stations was to create a chalk mural on the wall.

Grammy Sue gave the real Grammy touch with face painting.
Dante wanted to be an Easter egg. What a good egg.

The Easter Pageant

A great high light for me was to drive from Queen Creek
to the Mesa Temple with Andrea, Kristin and baby Ayden.
We got seats for everyone. It was so exciting
when I saw Mellisa and her boys

and Crystal and her children come walking up the sidewalk.
I was so relieved that they made it from Albuquerque.

Makayla was so happy to see everyone.

Jaxon, Alec and Dante were silly boys who had been full
of life and energy on the entire trip to Mesa.
They were glad to be out of the car.

It was wonderful to sit there and watch the pageant with them.
I sat by Crystal and held Mya on my lap as we watched
the life of the Savior acted out.
What a feeling of love and peace!
I love the Savior and I love my family.
These are the two great loves of my life. What a blessing!
