Sittin' Pretty*

Kylee is sitting with her Great Gramma

& Great Great Grandma Adams

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, & cockell shells,

and pretty little maids all in a row.

It is a beautiful June day. The sun is out and their isn't a cloud in the sky. And I am sitting on the front porch with my little baby in my lap, my Mom, my sweet Gramma, & my Great Grandma. As we enjoy the warmth of the sun we visit & giggle. The sound of the children playing in the yard is a joyful distraction. While the flowers begin to bloom at our feet. What a wonderful day. What a wonderful memory. What a wonderful legacy.

Baby LOVE*

"...and I say to myself what a wonderful world..."

Kylee you are such a little luvie*

Kylee I love your sweet face!

You're my honey bunch, sugar plum,

pummy-ummy-umpkin, you're my sweetie pie,

you're my cuppie cake, gummy drop,

snookums-snoogums, you're the apple of my eye.

I love you so and I want you to know

that I will always be right here,

I love to sing sweet songs in your ear

because you are so dear.

it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Bikes Trikes & Tractors

Logan: is the kind of kid who dreams of one day driving the heavy equipment, the big rigs, & the steam locomotives. His favorite personality in the "CARS" movie was "MACK" truck. Every Semi-Truck is "Mack". You know what they say about men and boys don't you? "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." He really is a grown man stuck in a little boys body.

Jolee: just learned how to ride her bike without the training wheels @ Grammy & Grampy's house just last week. It literally only took 30 seconds and she was off on her own riding all by herself.
Grammy and Mommy were astonished how quickly she took off! Very impressive - Way to Go - Jolee girl! We are so very proud of you!



Ethan: has named his bike "Rocket". He and Rocket love to blast off @ the speed of light and orbit the cul-de-sac. He loves to pretend He is Leo, from the Little Einsteins and his bike is Rocket. They travel far and wide having adventures and discovering all there is to discover. Oh, what fun it would be to be a little kid again.

Kylee: is enjoying her time outside observing the world through her "Rose Colored Glasses". What a beautiful day in the neighborhood! It is 79* degree's today and it is only June 10th! Call it a heat wave... call it global warming... call it whatever you want - I am lovin' every minute of it. I welcome the sunshine - bust out the sprinkler!

One HOT Momma*

This is my beautiful Mom, Jane! A happily married woman for 28+ years. Mother of 5 children. Grammy of 4 grandsons and 4 grandaughters with a new grandbaby on the way! What a babe! I only dream that I look half as good as she does at her age. Who ever would have thought 49 could look this good. If this is what I have to look forward to... go ahead BRING - IT - ON!

as time goes by...

My Baby KYLEE

is 5 Months Old!

We enjoy every moment that Heavenly Father has blessed us with a healthy, happy, beautiful baby girl! Kylee completes our little family - she makes us whole! What joy she brings everyday with every smile, every coo, every giggle, every little wet kissy kiss. We call her "Smiley Kylee"!

Happy 5 month Birthday Kylee Girl!

- I love you the most -

Jolee's Kindergarten Graduation!

What a wonderful school year!

What a wonderful teacher!

What a wonderful experience!

Mrs. Cathy Radfford & Mrs. Lynnette Sullivan

Jolee has had so much fun this year! She LOVES her teacher, Mrs. Sullivan!

Jolee has really grown and learned so many things this year.

Her T-shirt she has painted reflects only a few of those things:

She raised caterpillars into butterflies & released them,

This last fall ('08) her class collected salmon eggs from the spawning salmon in Campbell Creek

and raised fry and released them into Jewel Lake this spring ('09),

Jolee & I went to the hatchery this Easter and gathered a dozen eggs for her kindergarten class to hatch

9 chicks made it and are now living on Nana & Papa's chicken farm!
