Amaya's Preschool Graduation!

I can't believe she is done with this part of her life and is ready to start Kindergarten. I must admit I got teary eyed at her graduation. I hate to see how it is going to be her first day of school. :)


She just looks so grown up in these pictures, surely this girl isn't my little Amaya. :)

My New Saying...

Baseball

Danny has a baseball tournament this weekend... it's probably the closest one to Parker that he'll have all season long! If you are interested in watching, his games are at noon & 4pm in Littleton...

His team's website is http://www.eteamz.com/ArmourBaseball10/index.cfm?.

I saw you today...

I have been looking for this book for about a year now and I stumbled upon it yesterday in my family home evening lessons box. Not sure why it was in there but I think the timing is perfect :) I was reminded of some memories I had forgotten so I am going to share a few of my favorite ones.
Danny I saw you today....

-coming home from school and whipping up some mashed potatoes
-doing your Ace Ventura impression - you were great! (Mom)
-chasing Kim through the house, being best friends one minute and slugging each other the next; so happy to see each other and then so happy to see each other leave! (Aunt Janet)
-we are collecting autographs of BYU football players at Cougar Stadium on Media day and you are asking me who the "good" players are (Greg)
-you came to visit us for your 12th birthday. It was so hot but you refused to wear shorts! You said you didn't want to get a tan on your legs!
-you and Greg had your picture taken with Ty Detmer at Big O Tires. He even signed your baseball hat (Nik)
- you were upset with me and since I named you, you wouldn't answer to your name. You would only answer if I called you Horton! (Shan)
- you were beating up Michael Rotkin
- you introduced yourself at the first day of seminary and said "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" as your personal qoute (Tim)
- I had you in a headlock and you were screaming loudly!
- you were annoying everyone on the basketball court with your screaming, singing, and running across the court (Rick)
- laughing at my vocabulary "wobblers", "jammies", and "tennies" (Kristin)
- every day when I call my son's name..Danny! (Rick)
Those are just a few that made me laugh and cry :) Brady I don't know why you have no entries in the book so maybe you could post some of yours.
I miss little D and I wonder what he would be like now? Do you think we would have liked his wife? :) Would his kids be little screamers??

Amazing Pictures and Music

My brother put this on my family's website and I wanted to share it with you. Apparently, these pictures are on display at the Mesa Temple visitor center. My sister that lives in Mesa has been to see it and said it was absolutely amazing to look at in person. She pointed out that her sister-in-law is in one of the first pictures of the angels proclaiming the birth, she is in the middle. They got permission from the church to use the Pagaent costumes which was a big deal. It started out as a little project and just turned out to be this amazing story of Christ life.

The girls having a bake sale!!

It was such a nice day that the girls decided to have a bake sale! They had so much fun and even earned $13!!

Eating the goods!

Cookie Monster

Troy hit a milestone today and had his first taste of Grammie G's chocolate chip cookies!! (Well I made the cookies but they are her secret recipe.) Jaci and Amaya were VERY concerned that he didn't have a bib on and that he would not be able to eat it with only two teeth but he managed just fine. He loved it as you can see :)
