Our Trip

This is just a teaser of our future trip~ Kodi, Trenton & Dane get here tomorrow--We can hardly wait to see them, especially Dane! Keep wondering how much he has grown. I told Kodi not to even bring any clothes for Dane, I have the box of clothes from Trevor, so I'm sure he'll have plenty to wear! We will go onto Cortez, and see everyone there/ then onto Salt Lake City to pick up Taryn, and to eat at Rodizios (Just had to add that to make everyone jealous!) I wish Taryn had the kids with her so we could see all of them also. School just ruins all our fun! Then we'll head to Idaho to see Misha, Jeremy & the twins! Misha and the twins really wanted to meet us in SLC, so they could eat at the "grabber place" also--We will miss not having Kilee & Storie, and Tina & Trevor, and Helen & Anabeth with us! Always need a few more little ones to keep us all entertained! But I guess we understand that they have other plans!
I will take lots of pictures of everyone, so I'll have lots to post! I'm looking forward to some cool weather! We've had some awful monsoons here, in fact lastnight I thought I should be hiding out in a tornado safe area of my house! Reminds me of growing up in OK & TX.

Mallorie & Kolby 1st Day of School

First Day of School

Today Taryn's kids started school. Emmie reminds me so much of myself. She held onto Taryn until the end/and then cried when she left. I hated school. My mom would walk me to school, and I would cry, and as soon as we were let out for recess I would walk home----and mom would walk me back to school. Next day/// same thing!! Taryn should be glad Emmie isn't within walking distance! ha!

LITTLE BOYS

Just had to post this picture for my cat lover friends (Camile & Karen)

Our Anniversary

It's almost official--We have been married for 39 years! Crazy how long that seems as I look back, and realize all we've done over those years. The moves, the homes, the jobs, the kids, not to mention all the happiness and heartbreak! Life---I'm feeling very old today! There are a few changes I would make, if I had the chance to do it all over again--But I've never regretted marrying my husband, and having all my wonderful children! I can't imagine life without them, and I guess I'm a little sad, cause I'm on the down hill side of life now. However I've accomplished what I wanted in this earthly life---My goal was always to marry and have 6 kids! ha!

Miss Anabeth in her black and white! I think little dark haired babies look so cute in Black, and it's so hard to find. This makes her little eyes pop out! I love it!

Anabeth

The latest pic of Anabeth in her new little outfit! Look at those legs!! I just want to reach out and touch! She's starting to roll & scoot around, so she'll be up and running before K & H know it.

Storie's Birthday Party

Storie's 1st Birthday!!

Today was Storie's birthday! I can't believe she and Trevor are both one now. Kilee made a cute Elmo cake which Storie loved! Storie and Trevor loved playing with all the new toys! Trevor loved the ride on toy from Storie's Nana, and Storie loved the buggy and doll from Mom and Dad!
She had lots of fun eating cake! Kilee didn't know where to pick her up, she was such a mess!

Dane Edward

Latest Dane Pics

Aren't these cute? He reminds me so much of Trenton, but also I see something of Anabeth- Must be the Higgins in him!
I'm missing them all so much. It's so hard to see their little twiddle legs, and not be able to reach out and touch!
Storie and Trevor were over lastnight, and they are a crack up! Walking everywhere--still playing nice with each other. I can't believe Storie will be 1 on the 19th! Where does the time go?
