Addie's Birthday

We celebrated Addie's birthday. Happy Birthday Addie!!



Jennilynn

Jennilynn is married to Jeff. She is pretty amazing! She has had three very beautiful little girls and is a wonderful mother and wife. She loves to camp, hike, run, and do crafts with me. We have scrapbooked and made bows together. When her and Jeff were married, her family made fun of her cooking skills. I have never noticed her needing improvement but I do know that she is always watching and asking questions about what I cook. Actually, I think my husband never ever thought I would be as a good as his mother. I think its only been the last couple of years that he thought I was even close! Jennilyn always tries her best at whatever she does. She is my friend and I enjoy our talks together.
  • Jennilynn is going on 6 years at the Elks Rehabilitation Hospital
  • Can run six miles in one hour!
  • Is on the Activities Committee
  • Had a beautiful baby girl, Gabrielle, in November

Utah



My sister's daughter had a wedding reception March 6th. It turned out very nice. Stephanie, Denise, Lynne and I decided to go out for dessert afterwards. I had so much fun. We went to the Olive Garden and we ended up getting more then dessert! It was very good.

Before the reception Diana cut our hair. I really like the way my hair turned out. She does a very good job.

I will never stop wishing that we all lived closer but it isn't as bad as it could be. When I moved to Idaho from California, at first I only saw my mother about once a year. I'd load up all the kids and drive out there. Roger was with us most of the time but a lot of times it would be just me and the kids. I'm glad Utah is only half as far and we can see Lynne and Craig and their families as much as we do.

Jeff in the middle

Here it is the first of March and I'm only in the middle of the family. I don't know how time gets away from me but it does. Jeff is our fifth child and really is in the middle. I wonder if he has the "middle child" complex? He has told me that he was picked on by his older brothers but I wonder if he ever picked on his younger ones.

I feel he has accomplished so much and has worked so hard. He is a graduate of Boise State with an Engineering degree while he worked and started a family. I'll talk about Jennilynn next but she deserves so much credit in Jeff sticking with it and helping get him through school. He is like Steve and is a really good husband and a great father.
  • Jeff is working doing house inspections while applying and waiting for the perfect job.
  • I think he is in the Elder's Quarum?
  • He is reading the Star Wars books . . . . or is it Star Treck?

Having fun in Disneyland but now that I think about it, I think that happened in 2008


This is a silly picture but I liked it because it shows how his enitre family dresses up for the GFL draft. He has inspired others to dress up too. Only everyone else is just starting to wear their team colors . . . no face paint, kilt, or sword. :)


I like this picture of him. One of my favorites.
