Nolan & Anabeth with Myrle & Harrison

 Nolan was papa's boy! I just don't understand the attraction~ ha!
 

 Anabeth was so sweet! I got lots of kisses and hugs from her. She liked my lotion, and the smell of grandma! ha

Harrison is 6 mo old! I would love to see all these pictures side by side! He's growing up too fast! Such a little smiley boy..he's rolling all over the place now, won't stay on a blanket anymore!
 

My Birthday Dinner

This is an awful picture of the kids at my birthday dinner! Cole is fuzzy..and Ezra looks funny~ Didn't get Harrison into the pic..anyway it was fun. We just went to Texas Roadhouse, which is loud..but the food was good, and the kids had fun~ 
It was a great birthday! We flew home from CA early, landed in Phx and had to go right to the DMV to renew my drivers license. One of the workers noticed that my license expired on my birthday! Good thing she noticed, because I had no idea. They don't last as long now, as they used to. Anyway, they took my picture for my license, and it is awful!! I look really tired and OLD!! Happy Birthday to me! ha! I avoid cameras as it is, now I will even more!

Quick trip to Cali

We made a quick trip to see Kevin for his birthday~ I got a smoking deal on airfare...only paid $89.00 for round trip tickets to San Francisco! We went to eat at all our favorite places, and shopped, and spent time with Nolan & Anabeth! Anabeth loved her new clothes, and knows how to model them. Don't know where she's picked this up? Nolan wasn't so into trying on his~ He was a little shy with me..seemed to warm up to papa more. Kevin had his birthday..which I can't even imagine him being in his 40's..I can't pull off the 29 anymore. Ha! It was a wonderful trip! Rained the entire last day we were there, but I even liked that! Now I'm missing these two even more. Miss Anabetth's kisses and hugs!

The Baltich family/part of it

 Miss Bailee & Miss Emmie Rae~ Emmie is growing up so fast! She's a young woman now!

Taryn & Derik~

Temple work~

Papa is a Mormon now! Taryn & family went to the Orlando temple on Friday and did temple work for ancestors I've been working on. My Dad was so onery, I'm not sure how he'll like the work we've done, but too bad! I'm thrilled that he's a Mormon now! ha! I've been working on family history work so much that my wrist is killing me~ Traced the McDonald line wayy wayy back! However, I was a little disappointed that all the temple work has been done~ There's a secret Mormon out there somewhere doing this work..trying to find out who it is! I really am happy that it's done! I still have plenty of work to do.
Miss Emmie Rae is almost as tall as Taryn! Missing my family this year. Misha and family will be going to Missouri to spend Christmas with Jeremy's family. So it'll just be Phillip's family and us for Christmas this year. I hate having all my kids live all over the USA..Next year, I'm planning a cruise! Can't stand being here without everyone.

Grandspider & Harrison

The man on the right is my great grandfather~Emmie just did a project for her Young Women in Excellence.

 Great Grandfather~

 Grandspider died right before his 100th birthday~We all called him Grandspider, because he owned #8 turquoise mine in Nevada! They mined some of the most beautiful spiderweb stones from the mine.

Guess who is 5 months old~ Can't believe this little miracle baby is growing up so quickly!

Grandkids!

 Trevor Cole & Ezra..they were pretty scary looking for Halloween~

 Mr Happy! This little guy always has a smile~

Big Sister with sleeping Harrison~

The twins are so happy to have a baby brother!!

This pretty little girl makes me cry..I miss her so much! It's getting cold, she was so happy to be able to wear a scarf today! Love her!!

Property in Oklahoma

 This is the old house I have so many fond memories of when I was a little girl. This is my Granny Zell's house, where all of her children were born. It's so small, but back memories don't remember it that way~

This is the barn,, which is really in better shape than the old house~ When we were there last time, there were 2 huge big white owls inside...I think we scared them as much as they scared me!

Newborn Harrison & Kon Tiki

 This is a newborn picture of Harrison..He's grown so much..Love this little baby boy!

Kon Tiki hotel/motel~ This is one of the places we stayed at for our honeymoon~ It was the place back in the 60's..It has since been torn down.

Happy Birthday Myrle

Today is Myrle's birthday! He's 68..I started dating him in 1964. He was a senior and I was an 8th grader! He graduated and went on to college, and I went to High School! I love him more today than ever! Hate getting old though!

Phoenix, AZ temple...finally!

This baptismal font is oval shaped...one of only three. The other two are in Nauvoo, and Italy. I guess it was really difficult to build.

 There are 3 sealing rooms...this one was very large.

It's so wonderful to finally have a temple nearby...I remember sitting around talking about where they should build one...Now we have one about 10 minutes from my home!!

Grandkids, what else?

 My BZB~

My handsome grandson and his girlfriend, Megan!

 Kade & Emmie Rae~ It was cancer awareness day/week..so everyone is decked out in pink! I can't believe how these kids have grown..Emmie looks like such a pretty young woman...and Kade hasn't grown so much, except for his feet! If  you look, they're almost as big as Emmie's~ ha!

This is Karter's football lastnight..can't see him, but it's fun knowing that he was playing~
