Happy Birthday Kailee

Can she really be 13????....

here are some of my favorite Kailee pics from the last few years!

Sleeping Beauty

I am home! Yeah...I am too tired to even blog about it right now...there is lots to do to get back to normal life here. We are all good after Hurricane Ike came through. Compared to most we were spared and have been greatly blessed! The night I got home Shawn went to make his rounds to do one last check on the kids before we went to bed and he called me into Ty and Kyler's room. This is what we found! :) Isn't he the cutest! We have a few of these things laying around from Shawn's various overseas trips, I guess Ty needed a good nights sleep and some catch up on the beauty rest as well!! :)

my grandpa

This morning my grandpa Fife passed away. I wish I was in St. George to give my grandma a great big hug! I love my g-ma & g-pa so much! They have always held a special place in my heart! I have such fond memories of them from when I was growing up! When I was 18 I moved in with them and finished the last half of my senior year in high school with them. My gramps worked in Elko, NV...so it was mostly just me and my grammie. I remember when I started dating Shawn, on the weekends when gramps was home, he would ask me... "You got a hairy leg coming over tonight?" Shawn (and all guys to g-pa) became forever known as "the hairy leg"!! I will miss you gramps...I know you are in heaven and I can't wait to see you again!! :)

Sweet little (actually very grown up) Kyler Jake

Here are just a few pictures of Kyler...we were just playing around last week with the camera..I was playing with the camera actually and he was very sweet to let me snap his picture over and over again!! I am hoping to capture the other kids too...cuz this turned out sooo cute! {don't hold your breath waiting though} These pictures just capture his cute little personality if you ask me....silly, fun, sweet, never to serious about anything, patient {mostly}, way to little for kindergarten, but way to grown up to be my baby and look at all those precious freckles!! He looks like his mom, dad and Aunt Tami!
