Missing Grandpa Today

My Grandpa Lloyd was selfless, friendly, loving and strong. He was both my Grandpa and my daddy. He was my world and he is a huge part of who I am today. 15 years ago today he passed away. That was the hardest day of my life. Many times growing up I would think "Would Grandpa be proud of me?" His example helped me make the right choices because I couldn't stand to ever let him down. I hope he is still proud of me.

I love you Grandpa and I miss you more than words can explain. Thanks for watching over us until we meet again.

Our First Camping Trip

This weekend we went camping at Yellow Pine with the McKenna's and the Bird's. There were 10 kids, all 6 and under! The boys put a lot of miles on their bikes, loved fishing, and of course roasting marshmallows. Good times!

Innocent?

Our little Zaley was the easiest baby, but she is quickly becoming very independent and stubborn. Climbing drawers, playing in toilets, dumping everything in the pantry...this little girl is going to give me a run for my money. She just looks so innocent!

4th of July Trip

For the 4th of July, we took the kids to "Stadium of Fire" in Provo. We were lucky enough to get front row tickets! Taidyn's heros, The Jonas Brothers, performed. It was a great show! We also took the kids to the aquarium. Zaley loved watching the sharks. As soon as we got home, Treysen had dad working on the playset in the backyard (which we hope will be all assembled by tonight)! GOOD TIMES!

Happy 4th of July!

This morning we went to the Neola parade for the 4th of July. Airplanes flew right over us, and the kids loved getting TONS OF CANDY! Now we're off to Provo to the Stadium of Fire to watch the Jonas Brothers. We are SO excited! Happy 4th of July everyone!

Zaley Is Walking...Finally!

Last night Zaley started walking! By the time I grabbed the camera she was tired, so she wasn't going to let go of that baba! I'm so glad that Mom and Dad both got to witness her first time walking more than just a few steps! That's our girl!!!
