The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.

A Few Favorites

I love having grand kids come for lots of reasons, one of which... pictures!  I seize the moment and update my pictures of them.  Troy had his pictures taken in Grandpa's hat.  I had a very hard time picking just a few favorites.












Gracie loves skirts, and she loves bling.  These are some of my favorites of Grace.






 
This one makes me laugh.  She looks like all kids probably feel at the end of taking pictures.

Catch Up #2

March came and it's already almost gone.  For the beginning of March we were in St. George of the Allie's baby blessing.  It was a rare moment... we were all in the same place at the same time.  Kaylon surprised Kamill by coming up.  It was good to see everyone.

Ok, this is a random picture.  Miki loves to fix my hair, and you won't find me passing up the opportunity to have my hair brushed by someone else.  She's very creative with the styling process.  

Ok, back to March happenings.  We were so excited to have our grandson Troy stay with us for a few days.  We took him hiking, and he loved it.

Look!  She has service ;)

All of us in the Indian ruin

Me, Jill and Troy hiking back out.
 Jill had a blast climbing on all the rocks.  Once Troy realized what you could do on the rocks he didn't pass up his chance with the rocks on the trail.

 Shortly after Troy left our grand- daughter Grace came to spend a couple of days with us.  Miki is only a few months older than Grace, and they have a lot of fun together.  Throw Jill in the mix and it's a great time.  We also took Grace hiking.  She'd been here before and was excited to see the "Indian houses" again.

 Every time we come to this ruin Sam sits on this ledge.  She calls it her house and doesn't let anyone else in, except for her friend.

 After hiking we went to the museum, where the girls had a great time in the kids interactive section.

First Car Crash

I forgot to include Sam's first, and hopefully her last, car crash.  It wasn't too serious of a crash, and all the girls were wearing their seatbelts, or it could've been much worse.  She was in the accident 2 weeks before the Royal Review, and we weren't sure if she'd be able to dance, but she was able to do most of their dances.  She had a lot of friends stop by with balloons and well wishes.


Both of her feet were hurt, and she couldn't walk for several days on both of them.  After a few days she was able to walk with the help of crutches.  She missed a week of school, which didn't seem to hurt her feelings too bad. 

Quick Catch Up #1

Since New Years Eve We've had a few happenings at our house.    This was Sam's first Royal's Review as a Royal.  Jill and Miki were also to perform at the review with their dance class, but Mik and I were both sick and missed out.

Our Chili Cat will do anything to be let into the house.... She'll even endure being Miki's "baby".

After one of Sam's dance competitions we were pretty close to St. George so we took a quick trip down to see family, and especially a new baby grand daughter.
