MY FAVORITE GIRLS!!

We have made it a tradition to have a "GIRLS GETAWAY" every year! My Aunt Shirlene gave me the idea. She does this every year, with her six daughter-in laws and one daughter! Her goal was to become closer with these girls!! I liked that idea! I have four daughters and One Daughter-in-law, oh and Michelle, she is one of my girls too, we have adopted her! Honestly, they are my favorite friends!! It is so fun to spend time with all of them! We all agree on where to go and what to do!! Visiting...Relaxing....Shopping...Pedicures...EatingOut.....Entertainment!
Phantom of the Opera was a highlight! We had great seats! Eating Ice Cream, at the Belagio was another bonding moment!

The beach bags from Becky had, flip flops, a notepad, chewing gum, flavored water, bath gel, and a snack! (I got these pictures backwards)

Becky Briggs, Michelles sweet neighbor and friend, made each one of us a BEACH BAG, full of fun items for our Pool Party! Becky is moving to Utah from Vegas! We plan on including her in a few outings for sure!

Much loved, pretty PEDICURED toes! We were all desperatley in need of this!

Memorial Day Outting!

We Celebrated and Honored the Bingham Family Ancestors one week late, but thats ok! The Weather was beautiful!! Brent and Karrell had planned and prepared a lovely day. A yummy Bar-B-Que at their home, an interesting tour of 3 Cemeteries! Learning, Reminising, and finding the grave of the Famous Erastus Bingham!
Three Brothers, Brent is the oldest and the smallest! Lance on the left, the youngest brother, and Doug in the middle! The famous Six. From oldest to youngest!Tyra,Brent, Beth, Doug, Lance, Shelly!

I love it when these siblings get together, alot of debates are in the air!!

WE ARE BLESSED !

Just a normal day on the job........Maybe not!! Doug was shooting comparable photos on a sleepy country road in Swan Creek Villiage above Garden City, looking at his papers for the correct address ,not watching the road... When he hit this with his front right tire

The ever faithful Taurus rolled over slowly and ended up like this!

We were so thank-ful for no injuries, and that he could crawl out the window!

His car is now History~~~~~

His Camera is now History!

But things are replacable! It only takes 1 second of not watching the road for this to happen. We are counting our Blessings!!

DOUBLE CELEBRATION !!

NATE AND NATALEE TURN ONE YEAR OLDER Four years ago when Natalee was born on her Dads Birthday, Amber knew she had to name her Natalee! What a perfect birthday present for Nate , A new baby daughter. Natalee has been a heaven sent blessing, she had the magic it took to touch her dad deeply~~ In the past four years I have watched Nate take on the responsibilities and challenges of fatherhood, and become such a great Dad! Nate connected with Natalee from day one!
Nate is such a fun member to have in our family! He loves to tease and torture, he makes bets about anything(He pays up to), always full of fun! Nate is a hardworker, he is smart, always thinking and coming up with a new plan, so business minded!! Nate loves to golf ( He is such a Pro), wakeboard, waterski (One Ski), Jet ski, snowski, snowmobile, play basketball and baseball! He just had knee surgery about 5 weeks ago, a result of some of the above! Nate was the push behind my bedroom remodel, I love it so much!Nate is a great Husband, and a great father. So proud to call him my Son-in-law! Happy 30th Nate, we love you!
Natalee just brings a smile to my face when I think of all the times she has made me laugh! At 4 years old she really thinks she is as grown up as her mom! As they are going out the door she makes sure her mom has everything, she'll say "Mom do you you have your coat, or did we get Noahs bottle, or do you have the Keys" it is so cute, she is such a helper! One day Amber lost her credit card and was searching everywhere frantically looking for it, and Natalee said, " oh mom it is right here in my purse, I needed it to go shopping"! Natalee is such a good big sister to Noah, they play so cute together! Happy Fourth Birthday Natalee, we love you!

SO PROUD!

NICOLE recieved her Master Degree on Friday May 2nd, in Educational Leadership and Policy (ELP) with an emphasis in student affairs. NICOLE is quoted in an article saying " I chose ELP because it is entirely descriptive of my background and intentions in education and I heard the program was ranked 12th in the nation. A colleague of mine was enrolled in the program and that is how I discovered it. The program has been such an engaging learning experience for me. I can apply so much of what I learn in class to work and vice versa. I have especially greatly appreciated the focus on social justice issues." Unquote! NICOLE traveled one day a week from Cedar City to Salt Lake City To the University of Utah, from August through May! And also took online courses. She studied hard, took lots of test ,wrote reasearch papers plus worked her full time job at Southern Utah University, regruiting graduate students! We are so proud of NICOLE and her accomplishments!Andy was a great support to Nicole!

Proud Dad and Mom
