8 Facts 8 Friends

This is for all of you that have been waiting a good week or more for me to do this!!!

1. I love to dress up my kids in the latest fashions. Do their hair, jewelry, shoes, and nail polish to match. SORRY Kod and Kash for all of the color coordinated outfits you had to wear during your childhood.

2. My favorite pass time is cleaning my house. It feels so good to go to bed at night knowing that my house is clean.

3. I know when anything has moved or changed in my house. I know where everything belongs and which way everything is facing. My kids like to test me by moving or turning things. I have passed every test they have put me through!!

4. I color coordinate (once again) the clothes in the closets. I also put short sleeves on one side of the closet in colors, long on the other.

5. I love to hang out with my family. I love it when we all go to Pima to visit. My brothers and Sisters are my very best friends and I love to visit with them.

6. I love to decorate for the holidays. I have more Christmas lights then the average soul.

7. I don't like to cook, but I like to clean the kitchen after someone else has cooked.(Bo)

8. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my husband, kids, and my grandbabies!!!

. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot...anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you

Taiz and Nykki playing in the sprinkler. Nyk loves her Taiz so much, she can't keep her hands off of her. She wants to help her do everything. When they both get older I think they will be very close, good friends. Thanks for the birthday party Taiz, it was very fun. We all love you!!!

So happy to

have a nice pink birthday cake.

It took her awhile to get into the cake, but she did it. With a little help from Nykki.

Trying to get the birthday cake off of our sweet birthday baby girl. She is so sweet. As you can tell she is still very petite. She is one and only nineteen pounds. She fits very nicely in the kitchen sink. But she has the brain of an eight year old, she is so smart!!!! Can you tell I am a very proud grandma.

Our baby girl is ONE today. Happy Birthday Taiz, we all love you lots and lots!!!!

Hey KASHLEY, Louie and friends came calling for you this morning. Nothing like waking up and seeing this crew in your front yard. They are pretty tame (dumb) this time of the year, but they sure are cute. They let Nyk and I get really close to them, she thought it was .

pretty crazy!!

More with the Brady bunch.

Kash seems to always get in the picture. She is our special girl.

Posing at the Beach

This is the view of the ocean from our hotel room. We stayed at La Jolla Beach, just south of Lagune Beach, north of San Diego. Remember Laguna Beach Min? La Jolla looks just like it. It was a neat little beach town, really quaint. I loved it.

A very exhausted Nykki. We finally got out of Disneyland at 1:00 a.m. We had a very tired little girl. She rode every ride, even splash mountain. She was very brave and we had a great time.

This moment was the ultimate Disneyland moment!!! Nyk and I had just got onto the teacups when the fire works started going off. The when you wish upon a star song was playing, we

were spinning on the teacups, the fireworks were going off above us, then what do you know Tinkerbell flew over the top of us. It was great!!!

We had the pleasure of having Alice entertain us during the parade. She would not leave us! She just kept dancing and singing right where we were standing. We have alot of pictures of her. Kashley wants to be her.

Annie and Rechelle this picture of Cinderella is just for you.

We left the afternoon crowd for awhile. We went to downtown disney, ate and hung out for a few hours. When we went back into disneyland it had emptied alot. You always have to get the famous flower Mickey Mouse picture.
