Jamie's Birthday

Cheech, Happy Birthday One year older and one year better!

What a party it has been to have three daughters.
Some children just hit the dirt running, that is you. Here you are multi-tasking in high school. Now you are giving it a go being a Mom, Wife, Runner, Friend, Sister, and Daughter. You always seem to call right when my soul needs you. Thank you.

This is always be my favorite most romantic picture. Dad and I wish we were there to give you the biggest Birthday Hug and Kiss. We are wanting to come down in January. . . we can save your hug till them. Have a Happy Birthday, and remember the whole world is celebrating your big day. We love you in 20101

Christmas 2009

My favorite Christmas outing was to Midway to work at the Cresh Exibit. I was put in a dark room with the most beautiful pictures of light. For one whole morning I was in Heaven. The artist comes from St. George and her specialtity is painting pictures of little babies who die at birth and giving the pictures to the mothers. I could feel her generous spirit in her work. President Hinckley gave her a blessing at one time and told her to go home and paint the Savior. I want to go to St. George and find this woman. Wish we could have all been together on this tender morning.

Matt and Shawn have a thing going for each other. Matt loves to take care of him.

Now for the handsome older boys. They are both jumping over from boys to young men. I fear they will be taller than me any moment. Tyler, Max and Kade I love you!

Hot Dog, now two pictures. Abbie must have told me 10 times she liked the pasta tonight. She does her grandma's heart good.

Wow. . . beauties! Jenny played her guitar tonight and we all sang. Keep learning Jenny. We will build some fires this summer for you to play your guitar so we can all sing. How about She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain?

I have been trying for a month to get pictures to load, I must be doing something wrong. But if I just load 1 picture it works. So here is tender Jason, holding Jayne on Christmas night. He will always be my minds idea of a kind Joseph or the Savior. Millers and Clarks thank you for spending Christmas night in Wallsburg. Thank you to everyone for the fabulous gift of a computer video camera!!!! We can't think of anything nicer!!!!! We love you all!

Kim andJayne you are beautiful!

Thanksgiving

Hot Dog, my computer just uploaded! A miracle. Here are some pictures from our night out to Out Back. I think it is crazy how much we grow to look like each other.

Maybe not Jamie and Matt, but Dad and I look like twiners. Matt is thinking about the big yummy long hair he pulled out of his last bite.

Another crazy thing, VerDean just called. She said she wanted to apologize for being such a brat. She said that she loved our family and she was so grateful for all we did for her. Boy did that one come out of the blue. We wanted me to tell you girls how much she looked up to you. She has four kids and she lives in Missouri. Her husband is an air traffic controller at the airport. They have been sealed in the temple. She sounded happy and confident. Go figure
