Uncle Allen

My Uncle Allen died today. While I'm sure he is happy that he can once again run and jump and move his hands freely, I am sad. I will miss him and his smiling face. I love you Uncle Allen!!!

Brockton

I love this photo Stacy took of Brockton.

Brockton at the Salt Lake Temple

Kallie's right. Stacy and I took Brockton to the Salt Lake Temple to take pictures. Here's some more favorite shots.

Brockton can't wait to go to the temple!

We saw a photographer taking a picture of a bride and groom sitting on this bench. We decided to take Brockton's picture there too. He seems to be saying, "Where's my bride?"

Stacy took this picture while I crouched down and held onto Brockton from behind.

I just love his cute profile.

"I love to see the temple, I'm going there somday."

Just a cute picture of Brockton in his stroller.

Name the Location

Stacy and I took more pictures of Brockton on Friday. Can you tell where?

Fourth Picture Tag

Stephanie tagged me. The rules are: go to your pictures file, pick the 4th folder, pick the 4th picture and describe it. The fourth folder says Cody's Camera, so Cody took this picture almost 3 years ago of Jace. This is the couch where Jace watches t.v. The blinds behind him are really brittle and break very easily. It doesn't help that the kids lay down and put their feet up when they watch t.v. Brockton has come over, stood on the couch, grabbed the blinds and they have broken in his hands a couple of times. That's how brittle they are. I need new blinds. Tracy said the kids should replace them since they broke them, but I think after he saw how easy it was for Brockton to break them, he realized it really wasn't the kids fault. Maybe I'll be getting new blinds soon after all. Today I'm getting a new sliding glass door!!! Hurray!!! We haven't been able to open the door for a couple of months now, and that has been very annoying!

This is one of the photos I took of Stacy for her Senior pictures. I've been talking to Winter, asking how to make my pictures larger on my blog and she's been helping me out. I decided to try it out with this photo, it's my favorite!

If you haven't checked out Winter's blog, you must do so. She is my super talented niece! Click the link on the right!

Stacy and I had so much fun taking pictures of Brockton at Cochrans, that we decided to take Chaz and Haley there to take their pictures when they came over for the weekend. We had a great time.

Chaz was extremely bored, but we did get a few good pictures of him.

I had to get a picture of Stacy while we were there.

Haley loved posing! We got so many good photos of her it was hard to choose which ones to share here.

Tracy and I decided to get our picture taken too.

I got to tend Brockton Friday and Saturday - yea!!! I love tending him. Stacy and I took him up to Cochran's Produce. We spent about an hour there taking pictures. We loved it! It was so much fun. Here's my favorite picture of the day:

10 Months Old

Brockton is now 10 months old. I was so lucky, I got to tend him all weekend while his parents went on a much deserved vacation. He is the sweetest boy and I enjoyed every minute of it! I realized he turned 10 months old while he was here, so I snapped a few pictures.

He is such a cutie!

Here he is playing peek-a-boo. He'll crouch down, then stand up.

Brockton LOVES remote controls and phones! I was tempted to buy him his own this weekend.

He loves the dogs. Here he is leaning over to look at Molly.

And here's my jumpy little grandson yesterday in his jumparoo. He loves to jump! And jump and jump! I love watching him! Thanks Cody and Stephanie for letting me be the one to tend him this weekend!!! I miss him already!

Fairy Princess

Chaz and his two little sisters spent Friday night and Saturday with us. It rained practically all day. They came over to celebrate Cody's birthday on Sunday. The weather was a little better so we dressed Jayden in my little fairy costume and took her outside to take pictures. Too bad we don't have a little forest. Stacy took all of these pictures with her camera, except I took the last photo with mine. I like hers better.

Happy Birthday Cody!!!

My baby just turned 21!!! He's such a sweet kid. Always has been.

I love him so much. I'm so glad he's mine.

It's hard to believe that he is a man now with a wife

and baby of his own. It seems like yesterday that he was born.

His family came over for dinner and for German Chocolate Birthday cake. I'm so glad he chose to celebrate his special day with us!
