HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!

Andy at his wedding in May.

Andy with Rueben and Jack who are "beggin'" for bacon bits.

Our oldest son, Andrew, is celebrating his birthday today. He's over 30---but I won't be the one to disclose his age! Andy was a very unselfish little boy and had the patience of Job. I remember Millie and Andi (the mothers of his two friends in Bay Village), saying how much he would take from the other kids and how kind he was. As a man, he's still kind and unselfish and as for his patience, I'll have to ask his wife, Jessi. We're proud of his accomplishments and so grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing our lives by sending Andy to our home--it's been an adventure... you're incredibly loved.

Love you son!

My world

My new world for the past week+ has been:

Word World
Curious George
Thomas the Train
Builder Bob
And Sesame Street...again...our kids had this one.

I also brought Jack: play dough, coloring books, water colors, cars, trucks, puzzles...and introduced him to Smarties!

To hear him say: "Jack loves Grandma", melts my heart! And to hold sweet little Sadie...who is right from Heavenly Father... is humbling.

What an education!!!

Jack, Grandma and Sadie

Jack did smile and have fun in subsequent pictures...
but then Sadie and I looked even worse than in this one.

For Uncle Huff...

Just so you know Aaron...out of the blue today, Jack said" I love Uncle Huff!"
So, we see Jack intently watching TV last night and low and behold he was watching...
(I think it was) Chicago play San Diego. It was interesting how mesmerized he was. Ang had no clue he liked baseball. After he watched a bit he got his bat and ball and started batting practice! CUTE!

Welcome Sadie Jane!

Angela had Sadie Jane today at 4:51am AZ time. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. I am SO excited to get there and hold her! Congrats Ang, Tommy and big brother Jack! I Love You All! See you Saturday. Happy Birthday Aunt Amy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!

Today. August 13th, is Amy's birthday. She is our oldest child.
She was born in Utah, and has lived in Utah, Arizona, Ohio, Kentucky, Ohio again, Utah again, New York, Romania, Arizona again and now Utah again!
She loves to travel, has a cat named Madison, drives an Audi, and loves it when Friday the 13th rolls around. Amy is a terrific Aunt! She LOVES chocolate and cheesecake.
Amy, YOU ARE LOVED!

"Aren't you too old?"

That's the question I was asked by one of my children when I told him I had been called to serve as the Young Women's President in our ward!!! Well, to be honest...I was floored when the Bishop extended the call! I've been in many different positions in YW since I was 19. In
the 80's when we lived in Kentucky, I was the YW president...but that was about 25
years ago! I'm humbled by the confidence the Lord has in me and I pray my
presidency...which consists of incredible women, will make a difference
in the lives of the wonderful YW in our ward.
AND
Tim was called to serve as 2nd Counselor in YM!
