A Fun night out ... High School Musical on Ice... With Grandkids. Natalee and Ally were so entertained! Noah and Mylee not so much.

Awarm day spent at Gateway with Mylee! Holly was on a field trip with Ally, visiting KSL, so we enjoyed the inviting atmosphere at Gateway. Mylee is one of few kids that will leave sunglasses on.
I think Mylee wants to be rock climber! It runs in the family.

MYLEE ...Born November 4th 2006. A precious One year old.. My youngest Treasure . It has been the funnest experience to watch her grow this past year. Although she is tiny, she is smart and very good at all her motor skills. She walks fast now, so no rest for anyone! She moves from tearing all the clothing out of her moms bottom drawer, to crawling as far as she can into the refrigerator to remove whatever she can reach, to taking hands full of dry dog food from the dog dish and depositing it into the dogs water dish!! So MUCH HELP!! We went to Applebees to eat dinner with Holly and Kevin and their family the other night and MYLEE was sitting at the end of the booth in her high chair, she was listening and right into the conversation, she took her two little hands and put them on her cheeks, then she put one hand on her chin and rested her elbow on the table!! She looked so grown up ! I couldn't get my camera fast enough, and she would not do a rerun! One of the cutest things she does is DANCE !! Whenever music is playing she sways her little tiny butt to the music, and she is right on beat. MYLEE has always been my little friend but lately she has decided she really likes me...She reaches for me and she wants me to hold her. We have a special connection and a bond I hope last forever. Being a Grandma is the best! I am so blessed to have MYLEE as my 5th grandchild. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS MYLEE........ I LOVE YOU !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE

My Second Daughter! What a GEM! Sometimes I look at her and think she can't really be mine...She is so AMAZING! NICOLE is so organized, and focused she sets her goals high and heads in the right direction daily. I know that NICOLE was dreading this Birthday....until she met Andy (her new Husband) now it doesn't matter how old she gets as long as they grow old together!! NICOLE is so happy in her life right now, and that makes me happy also. Every Christmas we all anticipate the little cookbook she has created for each one of us, with a collection of yummy recipies she has tried and tested throughout the year....All wrapped in fancy font, special paper and bows. Its a treasure and a tradition. What a great cook and homemaker. Her new little cottage home is so absolutely inviting, classy, organized and right out of a magazine. NICOLE loves to entertain...and it is always special, She goes the extra mile on everything. NICOLES family is important to her, we all love and seek her advise. She is working a full time job at Southern Utah University and also working hard to recieve her Masters Degree . Each year, Maybe 2 or 3 times a year she comes to help me clean organize and decorate my home. My favorite is Christmas!! She has such great taste and turns my home into a dream come true! I am proud of you Nicole. All of the above are true and amazing, but my very favorite thing about you Nicole is your strong Testimony of the Gospel. What a Pillar of strength you are to every one of us! Happy Birthday NICOLE ! I LOVE YOU!
