A New Du....

So, after losing the 25lbs that I've been wanting to lose since the first of the year...

(another New Years resolution to cross off my list)

I decided it was time to do something with the hair.

For the last 5 years my hair has been thinning and losing body...

something that I have to live with.

Luckily, my daughter Nichole (my personal hair designer) can do wonders.

I even have people tell me I look younger...how can you beat that?

Thanks Nichole I needed that!

Happy 37th Birthday Nichole!

I bet you didn't know that the summer before you were born

your dad took me to Disneyland....

There was an artist that was drawing charactures of people...

This is one of me carrying you!

This is your dad in his 1970 Chevelle Super Sport.

Just thought that would be a fun thing for you to know...

You brought so much joy to my life when you were born,

(Nichole 3 months old)

(Nichole 18 months, the year she won Future Miss Orem 1974)

listening and sharing in things that were important to you taught me a lot

about the responsibilities and joys of being a parent...

(Nichole 3 years old)

And watching you turn out to be the wonderful woman and mother you are

has made me realize something I've known all along....

you're a very special daughter!

Happy Birthday, I love you,

Mom

Happy 88th Birthday Mom!

Mom, if you feel special today,

it's because it's your birthday

and everyone's wishing you

all the happiness you deserve.

You are being celebrated as a wonderful woman,

an amazing mother and a great GG.

I want you to know,

I feel honored to have you as my mother,

and very proud to be your daughter.

Hope you have a great birthday and many more to come.

Love, your daughter, Christie

The Finished Product....

We are finally in our new home. We are excited and feel very blessed to have a beautiful new home. The experience was full of changes, anticipation and even tears, but we feel it was worth it. Our home is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths with a full unfinished basement. We have alot of work ahead of us....put in the yard, add a deck, fencing and much more. However, we are looking forward to adding our own touches to make it more our home.

Please feel free to come and visit us at 22 N 1650 E, Spanish Fork, Utah, 84660.

Jessica, here are the pictures you have been waiting for. We can't wait for you, Rocky and Samantha to come stay.
