Spring Break

We had a lot of fun again in San Felipe for Spring Break! We all traveled together this year because we thought it would be faster going thru San Luis instead of Mexicali so Mark lead the way (it is a nicer drive but I don't know if it's that much faster). We had quite a caravan going---Paige's family and five other families from Rex's work---our friends the Ferrin's, Soelberg's and the Ferrin boys and friends, what a group we made. We were excited to finally get to our spring break stomping grounds. We had fun hanging out on the beach,throwing frisbees, flying kites and getting some sun. We went to church on Sunday, and as always, loved the sweet humble branch and the people. After church we went over to Ferrin's house and had BBQ shrimp and fish it was sooooooo delicious played "Life" and watched the movie"What about Bob" one of our all time favorites! We love going to town to walk on the malecone to shop and eat---it was a little crazy this year because the baja 250 races were going on but still lots of fun. We had such a nice relaxing time and can't wait to go back!The girls showing off their braids.

Happy Birthday Sydney!

Happy Birthday Sydney!

This sweet little girl goes to bed with a smile and wakes up with a smile and just lights up a room with her beautiful grin. She has gorgeous blue eyes which are so fun coming from such a brown eyed family-----when we went to Honduras to pick up Jack we would show everyone our family picture and without fail they would point to Sydney and Cody and say "muy bonita"! She loves preschool, dance, primary and playing with her cousins! Today she said "Grammie I love you, I had the best day ever" and I just melted. Love you too, Sydney!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Happy Birthday Jack!

You have been such a delight in our life! We were so excited to have a baby boy come into our lives after 3 girls. Mark was the assistant scoutmaster at the time and everyone at church was so excited for us too! So much that the scoutmaster's wife made you a scout uniform out of a cabbage patch pattern, complete with socks and hat.( I wish I could scan the picture so everyone could see how cute it was) When I think of you, I think fun, fun, fun and happy, happy happy! You loved the movie Bambi when you were around 18 months you would watch it and say"Bambi get up" when his Mom died. You loved Hop on Pop and you were really good at memorizing. When you were 3 you would recite a poem the girls were learning for Young Women's.

"What Counts"

It isn't the money you're making, it isn't

the clothes you wear,

And it isn't the skill of your good right

hand which makes folks really care.

It's the smile on your face and the light of

your eye.

And the burdens that you bear.

You really did have a great smile and a twinkle in your eye when you would say it too!

And now you have made us so proud with all you have accomplished.We wish happiness and craziness and send you our love. Hope you had a great birthday. Love You!

Grandparent Fun Is:

• The fun without the responsibility of the day to day care.
• The fun you have and then be able to return them to their parents.
• The fun you can have and still be able to sleep through the night.
• The fun you can have and then still have time to have you own fun.

I love the time I spend with my grandkids---I love watching Dora, Hannah Montana, The Incredibles, and The Game Plan. I love being the adoring audience at recitals and t-ball games. I love to sit and watch somersaults in the family room or tricks on the trampoline. I love to color in the strawberry shortcake coloring book while visiting with their Mom's on why they love Grey's Anatomy. Right now I have 8 fabulous grandchildren but soon to be nine------I was just thinking I'm happy to be a Grammie again. A brand new baby coming this year just in time for Jack's wedding, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. What joy!
