Oops!

Oops! When we were in Utah we went to Sean and Tory's house.  All I can say is beautiful!!!!!

We had Mike and I, Chad and Donna and Family. Chris and Jamie and Family, Tom and Angi and Family and Sean and Tory and Family.  It was so good to see everyone.

 Tom and Angi and Family

 Sean and Tory and Family

 We got to go out with my family and just visit.  It was very nice.  After dinner we went to Chris and Jamies and visited with the kids.

 Here are all the Mikel's... Sean Mikel, Pierce Mikel, Mikel, Christopher Mikel, and Jagger Mikel.

My sweet Chris. 

2 new family crew.

I would like you to meet a couple of new family members. First of all, here is Maggie.  She is really the dog of a sweet lady that lives with us now.  Can you believe it, I started with one and now I have three.  What's up with that?  Maggie is the one on the left.  She is such a good dog.  Very mild, just the way I like them.

 Here is Maggie's owner, Kelly.  She will being staying with us for a few months.  We are having a great time with her here.

 Kelly has introduced Grant to a game called Bactria.  He loves it!

 Our neighbors ducks have decided that they like our house.  I guess it is because the kids feed them.  I am surprised the dogs leave them alone.

 We went out to get the eggs one day and look what we found. It was a tiny egg.  Look at it compared to the others.  Kelly and I showed Mike and he said one of the chickens must be going through henapause. LOL!

Grant, enjoying the new found enjoyment of the phone.

It worked!

I am so happy!  I was having the hardest time getting pictures to come onto this blog.  It has taken me weeks to get this to work.  I had totally given up I called a few people and said, "don't bother looking anymore, I am done."  A couple of nights ago Jamie (again) came to my rescue and told me to try something.  I did.  It doesn't work as well as hers but it works.  I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So now I will continue with our trip to Utah.  We went to the zoo and had the greatest of times.

 Here is my little ape family.  Aren't they cute!

 Skyla wanted to go see the dinosaurs but when we got there she acted sooooo scared.  I enjoyed her hugging on me though.  Hunter loved it all. The Dinosaur he liked the best was the one that spit.  It was a good way to cool down.

I just wanted to say that it was amazing.  We had the greatest time and the company was the best of all.

Thank You!



Elise and Charles' Birthday!

Ok, I don't know why these pictures are working but the rest of our trip to Chris and Jamies won,t. Anyway we had a great trip we went to the zoo, Jamie and I made Skyla 2 dresses and we just hung out and had fun. It was a great trip. If I ever get the pictures to work I will put them in for you. When we got home Charles and Elise had their birthday party. Emma is starting a little party company so Jen and James hired her to do the party. She did a great job. Mike asked her to do mine. It was a pirate and princess theme and she decorated so cute. The whole Texas family was there and we had yummy scones for dinner.

Guess what Charles got for his birthday???

Elise was just so happy to be there.

Can you tell this is at Jen and James home. Look at all the book cases. That is a dead give away.

Charles turned 6 and Elise turned 3. Cut kids, arn't they.

Lets try again...

Hunter graduated from Preschool. Wow! can you believe that he is going to start school this next school year. He can't be that old already.

Tammy and kids came through to go to St. George. She stopped by so we all got to visit. Here are all the grand kids that are not in Texas. We are missing out on seeing quite a few of them. So sad! Wait, where is Hunter? Oh, I think he was at preschool at the time.

Here are my girls, and our newest additions...Tammy and Addi; Jamie and Jagger; Donna and Nic. Cute, aren't they.

Going back in time! Part 2

Here is the rest of pirate island. We all had a great time. I can't seem to get any of the other pictures to come onto my blog so it will all have to wait. Sorry. We did have a great time with Chris, Jamie and the kids. I love them all so much. It was also very sad to say good bye to Donna and her family.

Going back in time!!

We will have to do a part 2. My computer was doing weird things and wouldn't let me upload anything else. So I will try a part 2. Sorry about that.

Hunter had a wonderful party. This was the first part of it. I flew in with Keana and Nic just in time for Hunters party. We went to pirate island to start everything off.

Mike and Donna and Kameha drove to Denver and stopped for a couple of nights to see John and Tammy. Donna also got her hair done.

Just about 3 weeks before we left to take Donna to Utah we had some fun times. Except the last week which we had sick people in our home. Poor Keana didn't get to enjoy her last few days at school.

Mike and Donna and Charles decided to put shelves in a shed that was here. It was just a huge mess. But not now.

We had a Birthday party for Keana. #6!

Miss Adrian made a cute cake.

And us girls had a girls night out. We couldn't really go out because there was no one to watch the little ones. So we made a dinner at my house and played games etc. We put the kids to bed and just enjoyed each other.

Keana, graduated from kindergarden. She will really miss her teacher and her friends.

Someone from our branch showed up with a bunch of crawdads. So we had a crawdad party. Donna helped crack them but there was no was in the world she would eat them.

Donna's leaving

I just want to cry! My baby is going to be leaving us. Chad is already gone and is preparing the way for his family. He got a new job at BYU and has gone a month early to start there. Donna and the kids will be there when school is out here. They are staying with us for a few weeks then Mike and Donna and Kameha will drive to Prove. The next day Nic, Keana and I will fly so that we can be in Provo just in time for Hunter's Birthday party.

We are just trying to get as much girls time in as we can.


Mike and Dallas were working together cleaning up the place.



We all got a snack afterwards.





Cindy and Lydia even got into the treat part.










Grandma gets to snuggle will little Grant. How cute is that!











We are loving having the kids at out house. I think Keana and Kameha are enjoying themselves.

We found Nic's favorite toy. The paint bottles makes him happy.









Don't Elise and Kameha have the cutest smiles. Oh, I love these girls.

They are so cute, I had to put it in again.


Don't Donna and Cindy have the cutest smiles? Oh, I love these girls!


Grant's trying to give them a run for their money.




Oh, I love him too. These two are such good playmates.










On this day, Posa and Kameha went everywhere together. Posa, just for your info. is our new dog. She was Keana's but they can't take her with them so we get her. Her name is really mariaposa. We really like her and her and Dusty get along real well.


Kameha, just can't get her fill of Posa.

We had Posa fixed and she has to kind of keep still for a few days. So we let her have a few guests on her second day home.









Kameha is just keeping tabs on her.











I was watching all the kids while the girls went to Donna's house and packed things up.




Keana and Lydia where having so much fun on the hay bales.











Let's see how far you can jump.
