Kandid Pictures of the Kiddos


Three of the four of these kids EASY PIECE of Cake to get there pictures - the lower right corner I had to promise a double cheese burger to get her picture.  Grrrrrrr - But it was worth it!

Family Fun


My niece Hailey loves to talk - and I don't mean like a normal conversation either, after all, she is 11 years old!  It starts out as a whine and slowly moves into a high tone that would pierce the hearing of any wild animal and turns into a full raging talk as LOUD as I can before someone wants to stuff a sock into her mouth kind of talk.   

As a family we went over to the beach for the afternoon to have some lunch and play in the water and Hailey was in our car.  Suddenly I had this idea that it would be funny to kick her out of the car to see if her parents would stop to pick her up.  

Micah turned off the highway (Unfortunately still in plain sight for my brother in law and sister in law to see him.)  Told Hailey to get out of the car and stick her thumb out for her parents car.  *** Caution - Nana did not stick her out on a highway in the middle of no where alone, I was behind a nearby tree watching not only the road, but Hailey to make sure no would hit her or attempt to take her.  Don't worry folks, if they took her she had her dead cell phone and they would of called us to BEG US TO TAKE HER BACK!!)***

Like I mention before her parents saw Micah's truck and continued to drive by as you can see from the above photos.

Bradley Awards Ceremony

While awaiting the Principal to show up for the awards ceremony Sara took the time to read to the kids (population 70) the Dr Seuss book "Oh the Places You will Go" - and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 


I love it so much that I think this will be the new parting gift we give the youth in our home when they leave us or a high school graduation gift.  It seems fitting that I love to give copies of "Love You Forever" whenever someone has a new baby.

 
I gave Rebecka this book on her blessing day - and While I was in California I saw it in the bookshelf and I was able to read the inscription.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone by; Becky, Kayla and Hailey are soooo grown up!!

Congratulations Rebecka - 8th Grade Graduation


Wouldn't you know if I had camera problems ALL DAY and it wasn't until I got to 8th grade graduation that I realized it was because my battery was dying!  I only got a few pictures before my camera died and I had to rely on my cell phone.

YES -YES those are the shoes she wore to graduation!!  I know I know from the top of her head to her knees was all about fancy fancy and nice and then we had those dirty ole-shoes.  Mom tried to find her new ones to go with the dress, but was unsuccessful!  

My sister in law did a great job decorating - Becky was the only 8th graders to graduate this year and everything was centered around what she liked and wanted.  So Caribbean Blue, Black, Sliver and Zebra print it was!
 

Invitations were Nana's project - I found some super cute zebra printed paper that was all glittered with some Caribbean blue glitter ribbon to give it a touch of color.  Mom made those cute bookmarks as party favors for all the guests.

Rebecka - Uncle Micah (Grumpy) and I are super proud of you.  We know you struggled from time to time and you were able to overcome the challenges you had.  Always Always remember that we are here for you and are willing to do whatever we can to help you.  You make us proud and we know you will continue to do so in  high school, college and beyond. 

PreSchool Graduation

Daniel graduated Preschool and will be a Kindergarten
