HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Spencer Douglass

All of my pictures are on the computer in the office now, so I don't have many to choose from on this computer, but this picture says a lot about Spencer to me.  He is a GREAT dad and he loves his family.  

Happy Birthday Spencer, we love you!!!!  Are you really 28?!!!!!  Oh my I'm getting old

I did it again Happy Birthday To Ashly last Sunday!

Ok, this is not good.  The story is that is was Ashly's 5th birthday on Sunday.  They had a family bbq for her birthday on Saturday and we were there.  I did remember that.  But then I was going to get her a gift on Saturday night and take it to her Sunday.  But due to the great amount of time between Saturday afternoon and Saturday later in the afternoon, I forgot.  Then I totally forgot her birthday on Sunday and didn't even call her.  So it was Tuesday when I realized that I was quite the senile grandma, so I repented and bought her a gift.  But then tonight I remembered that I always do a blog post when it is someone's birthday.  I think I'll have to quit that so I don't feel bad when I forget :0).  So now it is late and this computer doesn't have very many pictures on it, so this is the only one I have that will upload without going out into the office.  So happy birthday Ashly, hope you grow up with a better brain than I have!  We love you lots!!!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PRESTON BRIGHAM! (even if it is a day late)

Sunday was Preston's 2nd Birthday.  What a lame grandma I am that I forgot yesterday.  I depend on everything being in my calendar on my phone with an alert and some of the birthdays got wiped out somehow.  Ashly's birthday got wiped out too, but I got invited to a birthday party for her, so that helped me out.  I guess I better make sure everyone else's in in there.  The good news though is that he is only 2 and didn't even notice that I forgot.  But I did, so here goes my happy birthday to Preston Brigham Dees, formerly know as "little guy" 

Such a little tiny guy with verrrrrry long legs and feet.  

Learning to walk and having fun trying to play with Kelsie

No description needed  

Preston is always full of life and moving moving moving.  We love you Preston!!!!  Happy Birthday and next year I will remember!

Brandon's 8th Birthday party

Brandon and Seth waiting for Sally to put the candle on the cake.  My pictures are not very good.  Took them all with my i phone.  I should have brought my camera, I can't seem to hold the phone still enough.  

Brandon, Ashly, Kelsie, and David waiting for cake and trying to wait while we take pictures of everyone. 

Brandon opening the beautifully wrapped (in a walmart bag) gift that we gave him, two bionacles.  I noticed that all the gifts were wrapped in Walmart bags.  Goes to show you how the power of a good example will help others  :0)  

Spencer and Angie bought him a book about dinasaurs,  look at how happy he was to get that book.  He is such a great kid.  (notice all the "wrapping" paper?)

See the beautiful gift bag?  Well, the last gift Brandon opened was in that beautiful gift bag.  So it must have come from someone other that one of my kids.  It came from Ashly, whose mother sets a better example than her grandmother.  But look at the gift she gave Brandon!  I think it must be a regift, she gave Brandon her doll!  Ashly is so precious.  We had a great time and Deryk conducted a great family home evening that was full of the spirit as well as interesting comments from the grandkids.  I love being with my family.  Happy Birthday again to Brandon, we love you and are excited about your baptism coming up soon. 

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY BRANDON!!!!

Brandon, you are such a special kid!  We love you so much!
