We had a bridal shower this weekend for Kirsten, one of Aubree's best friends. I hope we still see Kirsten often after her wedding. It just wouldn't be the same without her in our home.

Jackson's 1st birthday.

Taylor riding Jackson's new toy. It was a hit with all the little kids.
He got a new bouncy ride-on toy which Uncle Matt had to finish putting together while Jackson rode it because Jackson just wasn't waiting.

Can't shove it in fast enough with a fork!


Jackson wearing his birthday cake.

Grandma's 80th birthday celebration


The younger kids got a kick out of the fish pond. Aubree & David spent a fair amount of time at the pond making sure no one ended up face to face with the fish.

We celebrated Grandma's 80th birthday on Saturday at Donna & Kent's house. She is a sweet loving woman and deserved to be honored for all she has done for her family. Her kids were all there to celebrate as well as most of her grandkids and great grandkids.


Palm Springs here we come!

Aubree & David left today for his parent's home in Palm Springs. They have some fun things planned and I'm sure they will have a great time with his friends and family.

Young Family Reunion

Just a general shot of the Reunion. Lot of faces I didn't recognize this year, but a good turnout. Every year we are suppose to take something to put on the auction table to help raise money for next years reunion. This year I struck gold. I made a little 6"X6" album with all of the 14 kids belonging to Grandma & Grandpa Young. It was a huge hit and sold for $65!Jace discovered the canal running through the park. He was fasinated by the water.




Taylor found her dad's dessert plate and was suddenly starving. She was wearing all the goodies and then tried getting dad to lick her fingers. Such a funny little girl, she has her grandma's sweet tooth.

Catch Up

My pretty Peonies, that bloomed the one day we had sun. The next day they were all face down in the mud!

Sunday Dinner - Colby is swinging a bat like a wild man!

David came and got Aubree for a date and brought her these beautiful flowers that he picked and arranged.


Kolten got a colorful "parrot" hat at the dollar store and thought he was pretty cool. The kid hates to get wet so when he was running around in the front yard while it was lightly raining I warned him that he was going to get wet. He yelled, "I'm fine grandma, I have my hat on!"


Hadley had a chocolate cupcake and licked every finger to make sure she hadn't missed anything.


Adrie brought the kids and came for a weekend visit in June. We sewed, scrapbooked and made jam. Got a lot done plus we were well entertained by Aubree & the kids.

Parking Lot basket soccer


We went to Roosevelt to help Adrie & Justin move into their house. We all stayed at the hotel the first night (no water or utilities at the house) and Grandpa & Kolten played a form of basketball in the parking lot. Kolten thought all the planters were "hoops". He was guarding Michael like he thought he was 6 feet tall but every once in a while he would forget they were playing basketball and just kick the ball. It was so fun to watch.

GOOD NEWS!

We have much to celebrate this Easter Holiday but 2 really great things that have happened in the last few days. The first one is that Adrie and Justin are moving back to Utah. They won't be in Cache Valley but Roosevelt is only about 3 1/2 hours away. I can so do that! We are so excited to see them and the kids, you have no idea. The second is that Aubree was awarded a History Dept. scholarship for next year. She has worked so hard to get good grades we are really proud of her efforts!

Aubree's New Hair Do!





Aubree is sporting a new look. She cut 11" of hair off so she could donate it to
Locks of Love. She cut about a foot off in June of 2007 and donated it. Looks cute
but then she can rock just about any hair style.

I was tagged by Adrie to go to my 6th folder and get my 6th picture. But the instructions didn't say if I was to go to my 6th folder over or my 6th folder down. I choose down. It was this cute picture of Aubree & Kolten laughing because of the faces they had pulled for the camera. They thought they were hilarious. These were taken November of 2007. Now to tag 6 people.... How about Lonna, Tara, Amber, Ashley, Lacey & Debbie.

I Love Books! So every year on Valentine's Day I get my kids & grand kids books. Adrie sent me these cute pictures of her kids with their new books that I had mailed. Michael got the "Joseph Smith Papers", he said he needed them because they were historically important. However you need to justify that is fine with me dear :).

These are the pretty roses I got for Valentine's day from my sweet hubby. Love you.
