My growing family

My Family brings me such joy! I have loved every stage they have gone through from birth to getting married to being a grandmother. Life is good, not perfect but good!








Craig and Sarah are expecting May 5th and we are so excited for them. They will know what they are having next week.



Kami and Steven are also expecting and they are due May 19th. They will know what they are having the end of the month.







Leslie will be home from China next week and she has had such a great experience. She has grown up and we are excited to have her home.


















Madison is not enjoying being the only child at home! But she tolerates her aging parents. She was in a play last month and had so much fun.









Jake is 16 months and he is so much fun and we enjoy having him around. He is starting to talk and loves being at our house and playing in our backyard. He also likes to ride Darryl's scooter. Darryl had bunion surgery last month and the Dr.'s said he can't put weight on his foot for 8 - 10 weeks. It was a severe case. He has done well, but is tired of not being able to get a round.


We just keep getting older and I'm not sure any wiser, but we are enjoying life and trying to find the good in everything. Darryl and I just celebrated our 26 year anniversary. What a great guy I married, getting married to him was the best decision I ever made!

Jake...

Isn't he just so dang cute! Jake is so much fun. He will be 1 year this month.


He broke his leg last month. He and his dad had an accident going down the stairs. He was such a trooper. He wore this boot for 3 weeks. He had just started to walk and then 3 days later broke his leg. He is starting to try again. I must say the boot was really cute!

Back again...

Well, it has been a long time since I have blogged! I'm going to try and do better.We have been enjoying our family here around us. Our family is our joy!

Jake is so much fun! He is crawling everywhere and walking around furniture. He just turned 10 months and is so much fun. Darryl and I love being grandparents.


Craig and Sarah have now been married for almost nine months.
We love Sarah and we are so grateful to have her in our family.
Craig started his own business, "Grass Kings", doing lawn maintenance. He is busy with this but needed a more stable job so they could have insurance and is
also working 40 hours at another job. Craig is also taking online classes.
Sarah is still working as a dental assistant, and gets to help with
our teeth when we go to the dentist.

















Leslie graduated from High School and is excited to go to China in August and will be there until December, teaching English. She has plans of going to Cosmetology school when she returns. She is teaching piano and working for Chick-fil-A. She has worked with them for 3 years now. She has been dating a wonderful guy, Peter Jennings.




















Madison started taking voice lessons this last year and has loved it. She doing well and she sang for us
in May. She is going into 8th grade. She is in synchronize
swim again this year and doing great. She loves her
nephew and can't get enough of him.


















Kami and Steven are living in Mesa again. We love having them back down here. Steven is busy with school and working as a manager for Chick-fil-A. He is teaching a couple seminary classes this coming year and hopes to get hired on as a seminary teacher when he
graduates in May. Kami is taking online classes at ASU
and babysits a little boy, Jake's age. She is involved in YW's.















We are so blessed! What have you been up too lately?
