Cold Winter Morning...

Tyler took this picture of John and me as we were getting ready to go to church....and it was a collllllld Olathe morning! We are so thankful for each other and for our wonderful family! We know our Heavenly Father has blessed us with each of you...and for that we are eternally grateful.

I have to catch Tyler off guard to get his picture lately...he's kind of camera shy. So I got him here after church, before he escaped into the house. SOOO handsome....love you, Tyler!

Ethan's Big Day....

On January 1, 2011 we celebrated Ethan's Baptism Day. Congratulations Ethan, on being the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in our family!! We are all so proud of you for making this great choice in your life!! And how blessed you are to be part of such a wonderful family...and how blessed we all are to have you in it!

I was so lucky to get to fly out to Surprise to be with you all. We made some great memories, didn't we!?!

So Ethan, here you are with your wonderful family...from left: Allie, Daddy (Brent), you, Kaleb, Grammy Sue, Mommy (Jaime) and Rylie. I love you all SOOOO much!

Beautiful Jaymi, handsome son, Mark and lovely granddaughters, Kaytlyn, Kayley and Kensley with Grammy Sue at Ethan's baptism. Kaytlyn, you are almost as tall as me!

This is Brooke and Wayne and their beautiful and awesome family. What an absolute joy it was to be with you all...I love Chase's smile in this one...but caught Landon blinking (it's okay we all know how handsome you are, Landon) and of course, Ella is a beauty just like her mother.

Bicyle fun at the McLaws house...

Brooke got a new bike for Christmas. Love your basket, Brooke....love you, too!

Ella and Chase loved being pulled in the trailer by their daddy, Wayne...who also got a great new cruiser.

Brooke even let me ride her new bike :)

Lizeth and Spencer...

I loved being in my children's homes. Not only are there wonderful and happy families that reside there...but they are full of love and warmth.

New Addition on the way....

Spencer and Lizeth are expecting their first baby, a son, in April....We couldn't be more excited for them. Love you so much Spencer and Lizeth!!

Self Portrait

Kaytlyn took this self-portrait of us because Grammy Sue couldn't get it right. You are a living doll, Kaytlyn, and I love you to pieces!

What a miracle!

Me and Kayley...just a week and a half out of major spinal surgery....you are not only gorgeous, Kayley...you are a miracle!

Kensley and Grammy Sue

Kenny and me...you are beautiful, Kensley :)

Cute cousins...

Here's Chase, Kaytlyn and Allie at Ethan's birthday celebration. That's Kensley in the background...all enjoying being together at Spencer's and Lizeth's lovely home.

Love my grandkids...

It was great fun to be at each of my children's homes. We really get to have a ton of together time...eating together, playing games together, watching movies together...along with lots of hugs and kisses....absolute heaven!

This is me with Ella, Chase and Landon. Love you all with all my heart!!

Handsome grandsons...

I adore my handsome and wonderful grandsons...Chase, Kaleb, Landon and Ethan...and we have another grandson coming in April....can't wait!!

Loving cousins...

I love the way our family loves each other!! I asked the kids to pose for one quick picture for Grammy Sue and this is what they did! They just naturally embraced in one sweet, loving picture...

Rylie and Kayley weren't outside on this day. Kayley was recuperating from spinal surgery and Rylie was very sick in bed.

Ethan's trick birthday candles

We celebrated Ethan's 8th birthday while I was there. Those trick candles threw him for a second...then it became a challenge, and he conquered them in no time!

Family Photo Op

Darrel, Susan, Mother and David....we're missing Janet, who is in Burundi, Africa on a mission with husband, Craig.....and of course, our sweet Father.

Love and miss you always, Dad.

On Sunday, I got to attend Sacrament Meeting in Mother's Ward. David, Darrel, Sandy, Sidney, Justin and Jesse with children Megan, Kyla, Maximus, Hailey and Sidney came to visit me while I was there. It was SOOO good to see them all!
