Happy Birthday Karilyn

Yes you came into this world a little battered and a little bruised but you were our bundle of joy! (I know the dentist says that this is where all you problems began) I don't have the words to express how excited and how blessed I felt to have such a beautiful baby girl! You were an answer to hopes and prayers and dreams come true and you still are today. And now we have your two bundles of joy to bless our lives.

Happy Birthday We Love You!

Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light

Have you seen this incredible message on Forgiveness. I don't know if I have seen a better
example of Christ like love. Grab a Kleenex and watch:


Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light

IT'S A GIRL!!

Congratulations Lindsey and Tyler we are soooo excited for another beautiful granddaughter! We just do girls...that's how it is! Maybe whoever has the 5th grandchild will get the boy? Maybe we will just stick to girls! Can't wait-congrats, congrats (not to mention that I was right)

One Year!

I can't believe it has been one year! I still look back on that day and can't believe how perfect the day was. We have had an exciting year and can only imagine that the year ahead will be even more exciting :)!

So these are the really darling pictures of Kadence. The ones that capture her beautiful smile and oh so charming personality! What a little beauty!! We love you! A photo shoot with a two year old takes a lot of patience - good job Kristen.

Oh My Kadence

What is there not to love about this picture?! Personality - oh yes she has plenty of that along with a little attitude. Someday she will probably hate this picture but I love it. It makes me laugh and laugh and laugh when I think about all that everyone was doing trying to get her to smile.

The One That Didn't Make the Cut

"There are three kinds of people - those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those that wonder what happened" Randall James Moore 1957-

"Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect"

Randy Who?

I just want to know who "Randy" is that has been commenting on our blog. I didn't know when I said that I was going to revive the blog that "Randy" was going to start participating!! Welcome to the blog, we (I) love your comments!

24th Memories

Can't help but think of the 24th of July parade when I look at this picture. So many memories of the Post Office Band and the many, many parades that we went to each and every summer.

First Smiles...

Are always the best smiles!

Ponies

Do you remember on Charile and the Chocolate Factory when the bratty girl says: "I want a Pony Daddy..." Well that kind of makes me think of K, minus the bratty part. Kadence rode a Pony for the first time in April and well she has been hooked ever since. In fact just a little bit ago she laid down on the floor, looked up the to ceiling and dramatically said, "Mom, I just want to ride a Pony..." and Sunday my Mom had K try on a cute pair of black Kenneth Cole boots she got for her for Christmas and Kadence immediatly responded with the boots on, "I want to go ride a Pony!" So while I don't think she will ever wake up to a Pony with a ribbon on it in our backyard, we will still take her around to find a Pony to ride on, cause it is so cute!

Oakley

Thanks Brianne for the photos that I lifted off your blog!! It was a fun rodeo...what a beautiful night. Love that small town rodeo, not too long. Can't wait to take Kadence next year.

The Truth is Out

"…it took me a long time to forgive my mom for pulling my hair really hard when she used to French braid it. I always thought she was doing it to be mean, and now that I have children, I know for sure she was. Physical abuse? Illegal. Pulling a tiny bit harder than is necessary when braiding your child's hair? Letting off some steam so that you don't do anything illegal..."

Kristen and Kyle???

Long distant relationship can be really hard...but worth it...hahahaha
After all those Jazz games, it is in Nordstrom that you finally meet HIM.

Soooo Cute!

The official announcement

A Little Bit of Heaven

There is beauty all around when you are at Lake Powell! I think that Seven Mile Canyon is my new favorite canyon. Can it get more beautiful then this?

Where is the RED

Staying true to BYU we left out the Red!

We Love Granite

What can I say...the Granite 4th of July Parade is just the best. I think that it will always be the best parade in town!

Yee-Haw Cowboy

It is once again time for the Oakley Rodeo. (Tiny hooked us up) Monday, July 5th. The rodeo starts at 8:00 p.m. but I am proposing that we have dinner at the Gateway Grille in Kamas. So we will let you know about the departure time probably around 6 p.m. Pictures from rodeo's past.......

Summer 1995

Just a few more memories.......I think that this was the first year of Taylor cruising in the Jeep!
