My Favorite Things

This is terrific. Yesterday my girls, Leslie and Andrea, let me take their girls, Kylee and Kaja for the afternoon. And I had to take these pictures to prove to them that their girls really did take naps at my house. To be honest, I'm pretty amazed myself. I layed between them and in about 15 minutes they were both "breathing loudly". When I told David about it he asked if I fell asleep first! HA! HA!

Aren't they precious. Tyler was worried that Kaja was going to suffocate. And notice Kylee soon took over my spot! Thanks girls for letting me take them.

Now here'a a picture of my pretty flower girls. David took the older girls on a walk when they were here for Sunday Dinner and they picked my flowers. And of course they have to say "cheese" for the camera.

I am truly blessed.

I am blessed, but let's get this picture out of the way. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? SNOW? STILL? Well, stranger things have happened I suppose and I'm sure it's snowed even later into the year. In fact, I remember leaving my girlfriend's, Jana, wedding reception on June 7th to leave for Disneyland with my parents and we ran into snow in Nephi. So, it does happen. It is a beautiful sight though. I love the snow and appreciate it's necessity for our future, but I've had it.


Now for the fun stuff. Look at these cuties! I am blessed!

Here the kids are playing with Jaxon. He does look MAD, doesn't he?

Here's Kaja playing with Grandpa in the sand at Snow Canyon. (Funny name??) Some of us were hiding in the cars. It was getting late in the evening and it was cold and very windy. But, you know dad, he can't say no, and Kaja was not ready to leave the sand.

Look at Leslie's little gems. What happy girls they were this morning, and dressed so 'cutely' in their outfits from grandma Judy. They sure love each other. And actually they are pretty good with each other.

Here's another picture of Leslie's 'crew'. Aren't they adorable. And again, very happy girls. Les you are going to have fun with them in the years to come.

I love my kids! Oh and you too, Leslie, Andrea, Kevin and Tyler!!!
