Happy Father's Day to my husband Steve

FATHER'S DAY 2009, unmarried kids came home for fam, fun, and food. Pretty good pic except I don't know what Keegs doing, its not like he can hide.

Steve when we were first married. I'm pretty sure he didn't know he would end up with six kids.

Steve with Garrick taking him snowboarding, always holding Steph, KYle still likes his naps as much as his dad, Steve showing Keagan the Lion at the zoo.

The whole amily in Alabama a few years ago. Tye, Haley, Zach, Steph holding Wyatt, Garrick, Kyle, Keagan, STeve, Jer, Eli, Amber, Lindsey and Gaye.

Little did we know we would be adding another child in the next few years.

To all those who have been there

Mostly I just want to do a big shoutout to all those that have been there for me. Of course to my dad. I really cannot articulate his caring influence on my life.

To Eldon Hilliard who was always there for support and his caring made Steve the man he is.

To my brother Barry I think sometimes he was the only one who thought I could be better than I was.

To Gene Hart who was always there when we needed him. He was a caring person towards me and my children. I want to wish all my brother-in-laws a Happy Father's Day.

Happy 50th to Mel

Well it's Mels 50th today kinda interesting that her mile stone b-day is the same year as a mile stone b-day for ali, just saying....

So I wanted to wish Melodie a happy birthday. I’m excited to be able to reach out from my blog. What a wonderful thing to have. Who would have guessed that Mel would end up being a great sister and my friend. She was always patient with me growing up. Me being 31/2 years younger we really didn’t have that much going on. Since she married while I was still in high school who would have known we would have raised our kids together. I remember New Years Eve Parties done together, trips to Utah, camping, canning, 4th of July"s, Bishop's summer program, and now especially our shared interests in quilting. I am especially grateful for her and Steve taking care of Stephanie for the last 4 years. So to Mel, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ali

So since its Ali's 18th Birthday I thought I would post some pics I have of her. This is Ali at Jessica wedding shower

These are pics I could find real quick. The first one is fun because it reminds me os all the time spent at Grandma and Grandpa Edwards. The one of her in the chair is her first camping trip. And then just a baby one. Happy Birthday Ali.
