Pictures for Mom

Here is Londyn:

Baby Blessing

Well, the time came when both Grandpa's were in the same state in the same city, on the same day and so Kyle and Stacey were able to bless Londyn. Here she is ready for her big day.


Proud parents.... and Londyn yawning her great big yawn because she is ready to go back to sleep after such a big day.


And here we are... happy to have been a part of this special occasion.

Christmas Eve Celebration

I made Quiet Books for Tyler and Kinsey for Christmas. Londyn was going to get one too, but her mommy wanted to be the one to make it for her so we worked on the books together.



Ella really wanted Disney Princess Barbies for Christmas... here she is opening up Snow White. Christmas morning she also got Cinderella and the Prince. Mindy is now hoping for another Prince since Ella wants a Prince for each of her Princesses.


Jeffrey loves Play Mobile. After all the packages were open Dave sat with Jeffrey and helped him get his new people all put together.


Mindy modeling her new winter coat!


Oma and Opa are always so sweet to each other. There is always a kiss to say Thanks!, I love you!, or just for no reason at all!


Lynn has been busy with my dad all week long. They built a work bench together and with his Christmas Present he can organize his tools now too!


I love my present! I get to have pictures of the kids and grandkids all year long! I wouldn't mind a present like this every year! (hint, hint)


It is always fun to have Nick and Diana join in our Christmas Eve festivities! We missed Michael, Tami, Brandon, Cameron and Hanna!!! Wished they could have been here too! (Get well soon Brandon and no more surgeries right before Christmas next year!!!) Of course we also missed Kim, Rand, Avery, Trey and Kinsey!!! Why is the world so big and people live so many miles apart?

Gifts to Share

OK, so this post is late. I should have posted it last week but I guess better late than never. Lynn needed co-worker gifts for work so I decided to make these Carmel, Chocolate Pretzel rods.


I like how the packaging turned out. But, I did these again later for my Young Women class and I omitted the carmel and added white chocolate swirls. Much better!!! For some reason, the carmel got very hard and that made eating a little bit tricky!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lynn and I were very grateful to be able to spend Thanksgiving with Kim, Rand, Avery, Trey and Kinsey this year. Visits are always so short with too much to get done, but we enjoyed our time together.


And what a yummy dinner we ate! All week Trey was asking for turkey and today he finally got it!


Since Kinsey wasn't at the dinner table I thought I would throw in some pictures of her with Poppy!


And one more, just for good measure, with Omi!

Announcing Grandbaby #7

Now you know why I have been busy! Here we have our newest grandchild... Londyn Faith. Stacey and Kyle are so excited to finally have her here. Since they live in Provo, rather than flying out to be with them for a week... I was able to have them stay at my house for the week so I could help Stacey out. Kyle was a real trooper and drove 1/2 hour to get to work and school instead of the usual 5 minutes.


Here are just some sweet pictures of this beautiful baby!




The only thing that would make me happier than I am right now is having all my grand-kids close so I could see them more often! I love being a grandmother!

Time out for Women

OK - So I am really behind in my blogging efforts, but as you will see... I have been busy. Not that much happens in my life that doesn't involve other people so I depend on them to give me something for my blogs.


Quite a while ago Mindy, Stacey, my Mom and I decided to buy tickets to go to Time out for Women, in Logan. Well, my Mom forgot to put it on her calendar and planned something else. Stacey had quite a bit of pre-term labor and we all decided that 2 hours away from the hospital was too far away, so she stayed home. Lucky for me, Mindy was still available and excited to go! So, even though we missed two of our four-some, we had a great time together. I felt kind of bad that I only saw the kids for a few minutes Friday night and Saturday morning, but I got to spend hours and hours with Mindy and we laughed and cried and just enjoyed our time together and soaked in the messages and thoughts of the speakers and performers during the event.


There was quite a line to talk to Michael McLean and so I decided that a picture of him talking to someone else would have to do. It was great to hear him sing and listen to him share his feelings and thoughts. I had the opportunity to live in the same town as him and our paths crossed occasionally so it felt like I was visiting with an old friend as he performed for us Friday night.


Here's Mindy and I on Saturday. What a great way to spend time with your daughter!


This is Cherie Call. I actually did stand in line to talk with her. The whole weekend was amazing! Thanks Mindy for coming with me... let's do it again!!!
