SURPRISE????

Preggo Belly 32 weeks along.Watch out Pregnant ladies!

Sister Beth and Baby Riley born May 13, Jenny due in June, any day now, Me due July, Jeanne due August, Candace September, and Arianne, may beat us all, she is in the adoption process and you never know when a baby will be chosen for her. So once one of us gets pregnant it was just a chain reaction and I guess inevitable.Yummy food!

While I was in Utah, my family threw me a surprise baby shower! Although I wasn't completely surprised I was truly grateful and happy. There were just too many little clues and being the sneaky girl that I am, I catch on pretty quickly. Maybe it was the fact that my mom took me out that day and kept disappearing to make phone calls, maybe it was that my sister was cleaning the house, or maybe it was all the cars parked out front when I pulled up. Dang they are good at keeping things from me! Anyway it was a lot of fun being with my close family and friends. Thank you for the fun and generous baby shower. I love all the gifts.

Happy 70th Birthday Pops!

My dad celebrated his 70th birthday! Man, he is getting old and that just means I'm getting older too. That sucks. We celebrated his big day with a Luau! Lorelei and I flew up to Utah to throw him a party. All eight of his children were there and all fourteen of his grandchildren too. We had a BBQ with lots of yummy food. We celebrated it on Memorial day, unfortunately the weather was rainy all day, so we made the best of it and had all the activities inside. The kids played games and danced to Luau music. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work and chaos too. We all went around the room and told our dad what we loved about him. We all had some great laughs as we described our dad. He also insisted on a family picture with all his children and grandchildren, we tried to protest, but this was the best of the pictures. Anyway the things we do to please our dad. Happy Birthday DAD! WE LOVE YOU!

Lorelei's Preschool Friends

I can't believe two years of preschool and my little girl has finally graduated. It was so cute that they had a little ceremony for all the students. We are so proud of our little girl and her GREAT accomplishment. It was so much fun to see Lorelei walk across the stage to receive a little diploma from her teacher. When her name was called she quickly went over grabbed her diploma and walked away, then she realized she forgot to hug Miss Christi and went back to give her a hug. It was too cute. Of course we all got a little teary-eyed watching our little girl. It was absolutely adorable. I can't believe she is growing up. Next year she will be at the elementary school across the street. She will be attending the Early Learners program, just like kindergarten for Sept-Dec. babies. Since she was born in September she didn't make the cut off for Kindergarten this year, but she will have an advantage of being the oldest in her class, being able to date and drive earlier. Chad, Nana and I were all able to come for her Graduation. It was a special day for us all. So grown up and on to bigger and better things.

My little "Tumble" Weed!

I can do Somersaults.
I can do cart wheels.
I can do back bends.
I can do handstands.
And I can do a Donkey KICK too!

She climbs, she jumps, she rolls, she stretches, she flips, she flops, and she twirls. LeiLei is definitely my little, "Tumbleweed!" She just can't get enough of all the running, jumping and climbing. She is continually active from sunrise to sunset. She thinks our house is a jungle gym and is always working on a flip, a roll or a jump off the highest point in the house. I thought tumbling class would help her mellow out, but it has just created a monster in our house! Now she is able to do so much more and she works hard to create new moves off the couches, beds, counters and refrigerator. She really loves her tumbling classes, but is it really worth the extra chaos around the house! I suppose it is worth it, because it is just too much fun to watch as she learns all these fun and crazy moves!

Baby Riley is here!

Riley Joseph Robin
Mommy and Baby



My little sister Beth had her first baby, a baby boy! Riley Joseph Robin was born on May 13, 2008 at 12:08 a.m. in Sandy, Utah. He was 7 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long. She was two weeks overdue and had an emergency C-section. Lorelei and I were able to go up and see our newest nephew and cousin up in Utah just a week later. He is absolutely adorable and a very good baby. He is the 14th grandchild and it will be fun to have a cousin so close to McCrea. Too bad we don't live closer to them. We just love our newest little guy! Welcome to the family baby Riley!

Peek-A-Boo, I see you!

I guess we are never too old to play peek-a-boo! Lorelei just thought this was so hilarious. As I was trying to get her down for bed she decided it would be the perfect time to play a game, so peek-a-boo it was. It was too cute to watch so I had to get some fun pictures of her. She is just growing up too fast. Luckily, for her she didn't have to go to bed right away.
