Happy Birthday Wayne!!!!!!!!

Our sweet son-in-law turned 27 on October 4th....Happy Birthday Wayne! I realized that all the pictures that I have of Wayne have his nieces and nephews in them or Parker...so I suppose I need to take more pictures of just you Wayne, Laura, hook a mother up! Wayne, we love having you in the family, you are a good provider, a good husband, and a wonderful father. We have enjoyed so much watching you grow with your family over the past few years! Happy Birthday we love you!!!!!

We're MOVING!

After three years of living in a rental property, we're finally moving to our own home! Look below and find the pictures of the house! Loren and I are so excited to finally have our own home again!

We close on October 17th, so it is just around the corner. I have so much to do, sorting through boxes, closets, drawers and packing up my house!

This home is so perfect for us, we looked a long time for JUST the right house! This home was just built, so it is brand new! Loren and I have never in 28 years of marriage had a new home, and this will be the first time in our marriage we will have a garage. Its just those small and simple things that have us all excited!

Sadly though, we will have to move out of our Ward and our Stake we have come to love so much!

Keep checking back and I will continue to post pictures! After we get all settled I will post pictures of the house decorated! I am soooooooooooo excited to decorate my new home! All those late nights watching HGTV, might have just pay off!

Parkers Blessing

On Sunday our sweet Parker was blessed. He was so cute, his great aunt on Waynes side made him a darling white tux. He looked like a little man! Here are some pictures of Laura, Wayne, Parker, Matthew and Saundra, Michael, Sariah, Aurellia, Ryder, Loren and I.

Our new home

This is belated, but there were so many things to post this week, I wanted my mom to have a special day all to herself. My mom celbrated her 70th birthday on September 17. She always has to share this day with my anniversary.

I wanted my mom to know what a wonderful, amazing woman she is, there are so many days that she never hears a thank-you, or how proud I am of her for all she is to ME, she is the epitome of a matriarch!!!!

Mom, I love you and I am so thankful that I was able to be your daughter!

I love you,

Sandie

Here are a few pictures of my mom last year on our trip to New England, she had the camera most of the time, so I have only a few of her alone!

WOW, 28 years !!!!

There was a boy, there was a girl...and the rest is history!

Today, is our 28th Anniversary! On September 17, 1980 Loren and I were married. Sometimes I wonder where times goes! I was going to try to come up with something to say that was cleaver, but my ideas are not forthcoming.

Somewhere along the way Loren and I grew in our relationship! Only we grew out! Yes, the years have added pounds, but you know what. We had fun!

Happy Birthday Danielle

Once upon a time, in a land far away there was a baby born, her name Danielle Renee, she looked just like an eskimo baby! She was born September 15, 1982 she weighed 9 lbs 13 oz and was 22 inches long. Danielle was the most content baby ever! She and Matthew were only 11 months apart, but I know had I not got pregnant with Danielle when I did, I might not of had any more children. Danielle was a blessing to me as she taught Matthew how to play! Matthew always loved his sissy!

Happy Birthday Danielle, I am so proud to be your mother, you are such a beautiful daughter of God! I am so proud of how hard you work to be the very best mother you can be!

Happy Birthday Ryder...here are some pictures from his party and my trip to Utah! I had the BEST time hanging out with my family. Ryder is getting so big, he was so funny, but I think Aurellia stole the show, she is a chow hound that girl! Plus, what 2 year old do you know who actually can put mascara on herself? That girl can do it like a pro! LOL
