Miss Mylee, running away! She really did, we were all busy playing games and putting together a barbque grill, the back sliding door was open and the sun was so warm and delightful, and all of a sudden Holly said, where is Mylee!!!! We searched the house frantically, NO MYLEE, we searched the yard , NO MYLEE, everybody was running around like crazy people screaming MYLEE MYLEE!! we ran to the street, NO MYLEE , Andy ran to the next street, and saw her walking AWAY on a good strutt, with dogs in tow ! They were protecting her!!!! Needless to say we all picked her up and hugged and kissed her to pieces! Lucky the speed limit is zero and not many cars. She was never out of our sight after that!!

T J MAXX AND MORE!!!!

I Am in love with this Store! It is my favorite place to shop.... I always find what I want and MORE!! Birthday Gifts, Baby Gifts, Shower Gifts, Mothers Day Gifts, Not to mention, decorating items, Cute clothes, fun shoes, cool purses! The St. George Store is my Favorite......it is called TJ Maxx and MORE!!! The last time I was there, I told Brie to not let me go near that store , it is dangerous because it is so big , and has alot more to offer! The last time I shopped I found these yummy food items from The Barefoot Contessa for $5! Who would have thought I could grocery shop at TJ Maxx!!! So I bought them thinking I would just try them out. All three of these delightful DELIGHTS were such a hit that they were devoured before I knew what had happened!! I know where I am grocery shopping...HaHa! Thumbprint Cookies with fresh Raspberry Jelly! Ally and I made these on April 2nd!

Country Cake with Cream and Strawberries, for Sunday Dinner!

They come in Boxes like this and you just add, berries and cream, or Chicken!

Performing on the stage at Sweet and Sassy!

Hooray Ally is 8!! And is she ever Great!! Such a Social Butterfly, cant sit still for a minute. Ally is such a entertainer, She has amazing rythym, so it is only fitting that her Birthday Party was a Rock and Roll Bash at Sweet and Sassy! I love to watch Ally Perform. Ally is adored by her little sister Mylee and her Cousin Natalee! They watch her and follow her example. Ally Adores her Big brother Dallon and her Aunt Brie! She watches them and follows their example!

When Ally was 13 months old, she spent a week with me while her parents went to Oregon, and when they returned she took one look at them and wrapped her arms around me! It broke Hollys heart! But I know that week together is what bonded us, we have been the best of chums ever since! Ally loves to come and visit me, and spend the night. She loves to call and chat on the phone, she has the cutest giggle! She has the most beautiful thick blonde hair. I am so proud to call her mine! Happy Birthday Ally, You little Diva!

Noah Jay turns TWO!!!!

Cool Dude

Sharing his Jamba juice with Natalee after swimming!

This is one cute little boy!! Noah and I connected when he was just a baby, and we still have that special relationship.....I hope it lasts forever! Above he is learning to share so well, a hard task for a two year old! If his hands get cold he says "Pocket, Pocket". and he slips his hands in his pocket until they are warmed up! Noah is all Boy! He has inherited his dads amazing golfing skills and can swing those clubs and connect with the ball, just so naturally! He loves Hammers, Trucks and Balls. If he has a ball in his hand and pulls it back to throw, watch out, it is coming at you fast, hard and right on the money!! Noah loves the dogs, the first thing he says to me when he sees me is, where is Alta? He means Tinka, but for some reason both of his favorite dogs are named Alta!! We have tried to explain!! Then the next thing he asks me is "Where is PaPa"? He loves his Papa. But, my very favorite thing about Noah, when he sees me his face lights up and he runs over to me to give me a big hug and a kiss! Noah I love you ! Happy Birthday!!
