My Life~

Tim proposed to Beckie!

That's right... They are blending a family and

Dave and I could not be more thrilled and happy for our

girl Beckie!

Beckie, Tim and the Fab Four!

Mason, Julia, Sarah and Molly~

It happened just before Christmas~ Tim asked Dave a few nights before

Christmas.  Then Tim and Beckie wrapped the ring in box after box 

and called the kids together.  They told them to go upstairs and open

the gift and come down with an answer!

It was a YES!

We had a fun Christmas at Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike's house!

Meme and Sarah looking at pictures on the phone. 

Sarah took some cute ones!

Here's her Mom, Beckie!

Here's Papa!

Christmas at our house was the weekend of January 9~

We missed Tegan, Kelley and Layla so much!

We did have Danny this year and it was a fun treat!

Papa opening his present!

Mason and Cayden working on a Dino Dig!

Mya and her Mommy Bri work to learn to sew!

Molly was busy painting puppies!

Making homemade Bouncy Balls was a big hit!

We made some paper snowflakes!

I received many great gift... a picture from Disney, a corkscrew wreath

and this necklace featuring all 5 of my gems with their birthstones!

Layla, Mya, Cayden, Molly and Sarah!

For Papa...

While Dave and I had some fun in Florida before Christmas

Tim and Beckie planned a little surprise for when we got home...

Sign said....

But I could not wait!  Tim took down wallpaper and repainted our down stairs bathroom!

It looks so great!

Sarah and Molly planned a fun New Years Eve party with friends!

Papa went to Sarah's 4 grade Holiday Feast~

They had a great time together!

Meanwhile, back in Grand Junction~

Someone did some dancing on sewer caps for GG in heaven!

My girl Layla is getting so big!

Christmas was fun for her this year!

My Miss Sassy~

Lalya and her Papa Tegan!

Silly girl with her Mommy, Kelley!

Here are some great shots of what happens when it snows in Grand Junction,

which isn't as often as you would think!

I also got to spend some quality time with Sarah~

we played lots of games together!

I then headed to Van Wert to spend some time with 

Cayden and Mya! 

I stayed a few days then brought Mya home with me for 5 days...

Cayden had school but he was excited to know I would meet him and his Mom

halfway on Friday to bring him home with me for the weekend!

This is the big hug...

they gave each other!

It was fun to have Mya all by herself for a bit!

Maybe one day I'll get my Laylabug to myself too!

That would be so fun!
