My niece!

Riley Michelle arrived just over an hour ago. Stats: 8 lbs. 20 in.

Here's the exclusive photo from the happy Daddy. Guess I can't sell the rights for the first photo to People Magazine now. Darn.

A Niece!

In the next month James and his girl, Jessica, are giving me a niece, Riley Michelle. She's due right before my birthday, too. Nice gift, huh? But then Emma may lose her standing as princess with Grandpa Mike...maybe.

Primary Talent Show

Emma and our neighbor, Taylor, who is a year older made up their own dance to Hannah Montana's "Rock Star" and performed at our ward Primary Talent Show. They were great. I was pleasantly surprised at their ability to do it all on their own.


Not one to shy away from the stage Dedan told the story of the 3 Little Pigs with his own special ending where the Big Bad Wolf gives up and goes home, then the Pigs follow him, blow his house down, and "eat him to death!" That's my Dedan.

The closing number was a compilation of songs (about dogs) for any kid who wanted to be in it.
Dedan LOVED it. Hammed it up nicely. (in red above)
Nash enjoyed watching...from the very front!

Our 13th Anniversary

To celebrate 13 years of marriage Harland took me to the Four Seasons Aviara for a few days of child free vacationing. We hooked up with Rachel & JP one day and somehow Rach & I convinced the boys to get a pedicure. Their first and last. It was fun...expensive but fun. We married good sports. Here's to another 13 years of torture and bliss!

My Beautiful Grandma Marjorie

This picture is from a *few* years ago, but it's me and my Grandma (pictures of her are few and far between). She passed away today at the age of 89. Miss you already!
