Our Family

I thought it would be fun to show you all how much our family has grown! What started out as two is now fifteen.

We welcomed our new beautiful grandson in September. Now we have Aubrey 6, Michael 5, Connor 5, Sariah 3, Taylor 21 months, Aurellia 17 months and Ryder 3 months. We have the best grandkids EVER! What a blessing they are in our life!

This year we will have the opportunity to spend Christmas with each of them, we just can't do it all on Christmas day!

A year ago before Aurellia was born we all got together at our condo in Eden Utah, the grandkids had so much fun playing. Connor was not used to having so many cousins around so he picked on Sariah the whole time. Now, they play just fine together. Sariah is the cutest little girl in this world. She is so funny...my favorite thing about Sariah is when her mom Saundra tells me stories of things Sariah has done...I get to laughing so hard! Every morning lately I have had a chance to drive Aubrey to school, the other day it was snowing and while we were driving to school Aubrey said Grandma, be careful its snowing outside, and there are a lot of crazy people out there. Once while I was in Utah, I went shopping with Michael, we were looking for something specific, I can't remember what now, but whenever we passed by something with spiderman he had to have it. It would take me several minutes to get him away from the spiderman stuff, after awhile I would look down the isle and see spiderman and turn down another. LOL, I bought him something before we left, can't remember what now! One thing about Connor is he likes to talk with his eyes, he has the biggest smile and his eyes sparkle when he talks. "IF" he sits down long enough to talk, he is adorable. Aurellia walks around with a smirk on her face all the time, she's rarely even unhappy, but that girl can bite! When she starts to giggle she purse her lips and her eyes light up. I love eyes, seems like all the kids communicate with their eyes. Taylor has learned how to use her voice lately. She is getting a real opinion about things. Its so fun watching these kids grow up. Ryder is such a mellow baby, one day when he was still in the hopsital Saundra was holding him and he was just looking at his mommy, I remember even when I was holding him he was following her voice. He fought sleep that day because he was so busy watching his mommy. That was a special day for me! I love being a grandma!
