Tanisha's BIRTHDAY!

Dad took Mom Steve and Alyssa out to Roosevelt for Tanishas birthday.. She's turning 8 on October 26. They celbrated at lunch and had a cake.. She opened her present and really enjoyed them.. Dad and Mom always make a special effort to take Steve out to visit his daughter for her birthday.. It's crazy she's getting so old but it's fun for us to see her grow up..

Girls Weekend

We had a girls weekend just barley down in st george.. Mom, Steph, Shellie, Shawna and me went to Tuacahn and saw Les Miserables and Sound of Music.. We had a blast!!!

Of course we had to see our little Hunter,, he's not so little though.. He's getting so big.. He's such a good cute baby.. He smiles and laughes all the time.. We loved to see him and spend what little time we did to get to know him..

After leaving the show the last night we saw a huge teianchila.. It was nasty.. Everyone was freaking out but I managed to get my camera and take a picture.. We all had the willies the rest of the night.. I don't think any of us had seen a spider that big before..

We decided to color Stephs hair one night.. It was pretty late when we decided to do it and Mom offered to be my assistant.. So we got some color at sallys and mixed it up in a hotel cup and away we went.. Steph was a good client to sit there and let us play salon on her..

Stu's Graduation BBQ

So,, Stu graduated from College again.. This time with his MBA.. He's so stinking smart.. Were glad he's in our family so at least we know one person who's successful.. We had a BBQ at the park and it was alot of fun.. The whole fam was there ( exept Steph who lives in st george ).. But we had some good sammy's and hung out and played.. The kids always have a great time playing together.. Dad talked a bit about Stu and told him how proud he was of him and we all went around and said a little something.. We all have stories and stories about him but the point is we all think he is great and is admired by everyone.. I just wanted to say a little something more.. Stewart has been my Best Friends for years now.. We've been through so much together.. I would have to say that I'm the youngest of 8 kids but really when I was growning up it was pretty much just me and Stu.. So all my memories include him.. He has been through so much and changed alot these past 5 years.. I'm glad that I've been able to be in his life and watch him experience all he has.. He is the most selfless person I know.. I don't think he ever even considers his own feelings when he makes decisions.. He is always concerned about others and how it will effect them.. That is one of the best qualities that I think he has.. We all know how awesome he is.. He is always fun to be with and everyone wants to be his friend.. He is full of knowledge and always has great advice..He's just a great person to know.. I am blessed to have had him as my best friend.. I have to be a brat and brag about how great he is to me but I wouldn't be where I am today with out him.. He's the best brother a girl could ask for.. Thanks Stu for all you do for me and this entire family.. We are eternally greatful to have you in this family.. We are so proud of you and can't wait to see your success.. I couldn't pick a person who deserves it more.. Thanks also to Jess for putting up with our Stu.. Your perfect for him and we can all see how happy you make him.. We love you both!!

Swimming at Grandma's

Today we all went swimming at Mom's House.. We always love to do that.. Shellie and the boys came along with Shawna and her kids and of course me and Emma were there to keep the party going.. It was a great day and the kids had a blast.. We did have a 20 minute break while a little rain cloud went by but the kids insisted on waiting it out and they were right.. We were right back in the pool.. Of course swimming is always followed by food at Grandma's.. I swear she always had to go shopping after cause we eat all her food.. Thanks Mom for letting us come swimming.. We LOVE you!!

Hunter just had his 6 month appointment and is 17 lbs 6 oz and 26 inches long. He's doing great with all his milestones; sitting up with support, rolling front to back and back to front, reaching for toys, and passing toys from one hand to another. He eats three times a day with cereal, fruit, and vegtables, alongwith his formula. He sleeps through the night which he's been doing since three months of age.

Well Stewart was feeling a little left out so he finally sent me some pictures of him and Jess so I I thought I'd do a little tribute to him.. They are a super cute couple.. They are so happy.. Stewart is graduating with his MBA next month and he is stoked.. Jess is doing good.. Work is busy for her she is always doing something.. But she is really great at it.. But we just love them both.. They are great!! We LOVE you..

Cameron & Dad's Birthday BBQ

Cameron was so cute trying to blow out his candles.. He couldn't get them all so Brooklyn climbed up on the table and help him out.. Then she finished by eating the frosting. It was alot of fun. Mike always does are great job cooking.. We do love getting together.. Thanks Mike and Shellie and Mom for throwing a great BBQ!!
