Carly always loves her Papa and Nana time

Jamie and Johnny had a little birthday party for Carly last night...she loved the attention

and her new toys and clothes

and she loved her cupcakes to go with her cupcake dress

Carly,
You became a part of our family on September 30, 2006 at a little 4 lbs/4 oz at 6:59am. You gave us a scare for a few weeks while you were in the NICU at Phx Children's Hospital. But, now you are a healthy, energetic, strong little girl. And we know you have a great life ahead of you and will do so many amazing things. You have brought so much joy and happiness into our lives! Carly you always have a way of brightening our day!!! XOXOXOXO
Nana and Papa

JOEY & RAEGAN WANNABE THUGS...it was so nice to have them home from byu for a couple of days this weekend!!

SOME FUN TIMES WITH TRE, HE'S A HOOT!!

When Tre puts his boots on and gets his walking stick out, it's his sign that he is ready for a hike with his Dad. We got a kick out of watching him play his ABC's on the computer. And he loves his music...whether it's playing the piano, the thumb harp, the guitar, the drums, or head banging to "Uncle" DJ's Scary Kids music. He looks so much like his Daddy Aaron when he was young...with the curly auburn hair!

JOEY CAME HOME FOR THE BIG ASU vs GEORGIA FOOTBALL GAME!!

It is so good to have him home from BYU for a couple of days. Jim, Johnny, & Joey are at the game right now. Go devils!!

JAMIE AND I TOOK CARLY AND BRODY TO ST. JOHNS FOR A FUN WEEKEND!!

St. Johns/Showlow football game Friday night






Johnny's parents built a beautiful apartment on their property that we were able to stay in. Jim and Johnny stayed home to go to a fireman's baptism (Troy Hill) and the ASU football game. I know Jim was very happy to take a break from all the work we have been doing on the house and Johnny was also able to catch up on studying for his emt class.






We relaxed and enjoyed the great weather at the park. It brought back so many memories of visiting my parents & taking my little ones to this beautiful park...it seems like yesterday!









Jamie, Carly, and I picking the weeds on my Dad's plot at the cemetary. As you can see, the entire cemetary is in great need of an overhaul! Carly thought she was pretty big stuff being allowed to play with two knives!











THE COUNTY FAIR...Brody didn't quite know what to think of it and Carly liked the white goat but not the black goat. And she liked the horses, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese...but only from a distance!









THE NIGHT AT THE FAIR...it's fun to see that Jamie and Emily can still enjoy being "kids"...crazy girls! It is always great to see Emily & her little family.

IS ANYONE ELSE TIRED OF THIS HEAT? WE HAVE ANOTHER 2 MONTHS OF THIS! I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO GO SHIRTLESS LIKE THE GRANDBABIES?
