A Princess's 8th Birthday

Makinley turned 8 on March 16th. A special birthday for sure. I took her shopping for clothes the week before her birthday and this cute outfit is one she chose all by herself. We had so much fun walking in the mall holding hands and going from store to store. She loves going shopping with her Grandma.
She's ready to open all her gifts from her family and us. I had already let her wear all her clothes we got her but we had to throw in an extra few for her to open.
She's really into Justin Bieber so I couldn't resist getting this beach towel for her.
She certainly loves her Papa and I know he loves her.
Makinley got lots of birthday cards from her class friends. She loved reading all of them too.

Makinley is such a big helper. She loves taking care of her little sister and brother. She loves to play the piano and is doing so well at it. She is such a beautiful young lady and I know she'll grow up to be an awesome teenager and make good choices. I love you Makinley!! Thanks for always going shopping with grandma.

Happy Birthday Rog # 55

We had such a fun day on Rogers birthday. We all drove out to Tooele to see Daxton baptized then came home and had a bowling party for Rog. He loves his family so much and it's always fun to get together even though Shana and her family weren't able to make it. The kids gave him a nice set of scriptures and he loved those. It's so cute how Adaline is trying to help her Papa blow out his candles. Kids are so cute..
It's a bowling party at Fat Cats in Provo. We all had so much fun but bowled like crap except for Jared.Kristi has the right formKori, Addie and Kristi having a fun time.
Look at those cute smiles. Gentry loves her Papa.
Jared and Easton waiting their turn to bowl.
I think Kori rolled a strike and she's pretty excited about it
This was supposed to be a picture of me and Jared but Troy always loves to get his mug shot in the picture. I love these boys!
My sweet Colby. Look at that cute face.

Kori in her new yellow pants Troy bought her. She thinks she's all it. lol Which she is.
Look at the lefty bowling!!
My sweetheart as he reads his card from me. He always gets emotional and I love it. My cute husband. It's hard to believe we're as old as we are. But I pray God will bless him to be with me many more years. I don't know what I'd do without him. He's my rock. Happy 55th birthday honey.

A Special Day For Daxton

Daxton was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Feb. 11,2012. On his Papa's birthday. I"m so proud of him for choosing the right and making the right decision. He's such a happy young man. Full of spunk. He loves to talk your head off and is so smart. On the day of his baptism there were 15 kids being baptized too so there were a lot of people. But I don't think there were as many supporters as Daxton had. Lots of friends and family came to witness this great ordinance.
Look at all the people who came to support him.
His daddy baptized and confirmed him. What a special day for him. I pray he'll always remember this special day and keep his promises to his Heavenly Father and always be an active member of the church.
