Thanksgiving Point

My sister Julie's daughters, they are so cute.

Julie and my adorable nieces.

This flower was a beautiful deep burgandy color.

My favorite color pink adorning this beautiful plant

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the beautiful gardens or the magnificent water falls cascading down the rocks. It was all breath taking.

My cute mom, Julie, my niece and me.

I went to $2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point today with my mom and sister and her girls. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch, at their soup, sandwich and salad shop. Then onto see the "Beautiful flower gardens and waterfall". We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day weather wise. It was not to hot and not to crowded. We were able to stroll at a leisurely pace, sit by the waterfall and enjoy the sound of the water cascading down the rocks. The day couldn't have been more perfect. It was fun spending time with mom and sister. Thanks for coming along.

Happy Anniversary

August 12, 1983, our wedding day. (Wow, I was young)

April 2008, celebrating our 25th anniversary

Today Robert & I celebrate 26 years of marriage. What an adventure we have been on over these past 26 years years. I wouldn't trade those times for anything, they made us stronger and hopefully better people. We have been blessed with 2 children, and 2 grandchildren, with good health, a good job for Robert. We have made lots of friends during those years, and some we still keep in touch with today. We have had joys and sorrows along the way, but whatever we've done its been together. Love my man to death, Happy Anniversary Robert!!

Happy Birthday Scott

Our first time meeting Scott, he's 1 day old.

His 1st professional picture at 3 weeks old

This was taken a week or so after Scott was sealed to us in the SL Temple. He was 6 months, old and Whitney was 5 1/2.

Scott & Whitney, check out those chubby cheeks. You'd never know looking at him now that he was so chubby. 3 months old

My lil chunky man peacefully sleeping, 3 months old.

He loved to wear his dad hat, and his favorite dalmation p.j.'s, which were passed down from his sister.

He loved his stuffed doggy, the hat is from his birth mom. 1 year old.

Scott has a love for trucks that started when he was little. 2 years old

One of my all time favorite poses of Scott. He was so "cool" with his shades on, lounging on a chair in St. George. 3 years old

Scott's 1st trip to the Ocean, we went to California and took the kids to Newport Beach. He had a blast. 3 years old

Another of his cool dude shots, he wasn't much into the water, so sit on the steps into the pool and play, and lounge. That was his fun in St. George.

A sweet boy - 3 years old

He's 4 years old, another picture with another favorite truck.

A handsome boy at 8 years old

Today is Scott's 13th birthday. It's hard to believe that 13 years have gone by. As I look back on these pictures my mind is filled with a flood of memories. Not a birthday goes by that I don't think of his birth mom and the priceless gift that she gave us. Scott is a good tender hearted kid, he's a teenager now, and with that comes the sometimes not so nice kid. He has always had a love for trucks and when he was little he couldn't pronounce the "T", he would pronouce it with an "F". My father worked and worked and worked with him to teach him to say "Truck". He has always loved the miltary and someday wants to work as a mechanic or an engineer for them. He is popular with all his friends, and loves to spend his summer days hanging out with them. He loves being an Uncle to his niece and nephew. He loves music, playing games on his PSP, checking out his Facebook page, and chatting with his friends from there, playing computer games, he loves to swim, hang out at Cherry Hill (when he's with a friend) Although he does go often with his mom, she's just not as much fun. He loves to talk to the girls on his cell phone, and he has a few that call. He doesn't like school too much, although his is excited to enter Jr. High, and eat Pizza everyday, that puts a smile on his face. He has grown like a weed over the last 8 months, he now stand 5' 4 1/2" tall, only 1' 1/2" shorter than me, he's got a size 9 foot. I can't keep him in shoes and clothes. When he was born, the social worker told us he had dark hair and "big feet". And that still holds true today, they just keep getting bigger and bigger. He doesn't like being the center of attention much either, so he's not to excited that I posted this blog for him. We are blessed to have Scott in our home, we had made many memories together, and we'll have many more over the next several years.

Happy Birthday Scott, we love you very much.
