Hello Little One-Or-Osa Bears First Year as a Grandma!!!

Hello Little One!!!! We welcomed little Evie into our lives on March 8th, 2009!!! It has been such a special year with her. She lights up all our lives and we can't wait to see what the future brings. We are so grateful that she is here and doing great. We love you Evie!!!
Hi DADDY!!!! Bry immediately took little Evie and really took good care of her!!! It was soooooo cute!
Proud Grandparents. First Grandchild for all of us. What a great day!!!!
Unky AD--- What a great guy and he loves to take Evie for airplane rides when Grandpa is not available.
Cutest Mom ever!!! Britt has had a wild year with a few visits to the hospital. We are glad she survived it all. Evie lights up all our lives.
Special bond forming here!!!!!
We loved her in her orange outfit, complete with a hat which she hated. She is not comfortable with anything on her head!!!

"Oh Hi!!!!!" Says Auntie Gems and gets a huge smile everytime!!!
How precious is this?????
Blessing day!!! Grandma Lisa bought this beautiful dress for Evie. Her Aunt Brittany loves her a lot. We blessed her at our home to accommodate a traveling Grandpa.
Our first outing to Thanksgiving Point Gardens it was so much fun! She did really well.
Happy Grandma!!!! Evie sleeping in my arms. That was a rare occurrence. My little bundle of love.
What's not to love???
Fun times in San Diego with the crew!!! She tolerated this hat for maybe about five minutes!!!
Evie loved the wedding balloons!!!! We kept some around for weeks afterward and they provided hours of entertainment!
Grandpa Mark took us to Torrey Pines and had a blast taking Evie on walks!!! "Wittow one" lights up his life!!!
Great Grandma Bets had fun with Evie at the Gardner Village Witch display!!! Isn't she a cute Great-Grandma!!!
Evie"s toy box provided hours of fun for Grandpa, Grandma, and Evie!!!!
Watching her start to walk was so much fun but also nerveracking!!! Our home is almost entirely tile floors. Not so good for a new walker!!!
We went to Disneyland at the end of January and this picture was taken by Megan. It will be one of my all time favorites!!! This little girl has brought so much joy to all our lives. I don't know what we would do without her!!!

Happiest Place on Earth!!

We had so much fun at the end of January in Disneyland. All 11 of us were there. (nothing better). We lucked out on the weather and the crowds. High 60's and Low crowds. Britt, Evie and I took off a day early and had a ton of fun. I rode Dumbo more in two days than I have the entire rest of my life!!! What a blast!!! She also loved the Tea-Cups and screamed on the Carousel. We had good food together at Story-Tellers Cafe in Grand Californian and Naples Ristorante e Pizzaria in Downtown Disney.

It couldn't have been better. Midway Mania was a blast(new last year). Daniel was just short of 1,000,000 points in Buzz and Tower of Terror was in fine form. Of course we ate plenty of Pickles and Chocolate. It was a blast!!!

Sunday January 24th 2010 Awesome

We had a fabulous Sunday with Daniel and Stephen speaking in Sacrament Meeting together. They were darling and each talk really accentuated their personalities. Meg took this family picture after the open house and we were all exhausted but pulled off the smiles. It was a gooooood day!!!
Mark and Evie are definitely BFF's as Meg would say. Eve will not go to anyone else when Mark is around. He flies her around the house with special stops and noises. She love him and he loves her.
Adam and Jin make the cutest couple. They light up room when they come in.

Best Day!!!!

Daniel returned on December 22nd, and Step returned January 11th!!! Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

It was amazing watch them as they saw each other. It was great and very tender. They've grown a little in statue and a ton in spirit!!!! I love it!!!

Well, of course this says it all, the boys are back!!!. We are glad everyone is together again. Missing are Bryan and Thayne. We will get them soon. Anyway, Daniel and Stephen are back at

school at BYU. They look and sound great!! Evie wasn't quite sure what to think.

Evie is getting more fun than ever. She posed with her new pumpkin for a minute without trying to eat it.We had a great time in Torrey a couple of weeks ago. The weather was awesome and we were able to relax for a couple of days.

Last weekend we were up in Midway and the colors were spectacular!!!!! SPECTACULAR!!!

We haven't seen them that bright for a long time. WOW!!!

Meg and Thayne were married on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009. We had the reception in our backyard and the evening was perfect!!! We could not have asked for better weather that day, and everyone had a wonderful time. People stayed around for so long and we all had so much fun! It was a "Perfect Day".Britt and Bry at the dinner the night before!!! It was so much fun and the food was great at Asian Star!!!
The "coming out of the Temple" shot!!! The sealing was sweet with Thayne's Grandfather performing the Ordinance. They were happy to finally be married!!!
Adam and Muy were so cute and a lot of help at the reception!!! We are looking forward to more from them. Soooon I hope!!!

The evening ended with a short dance by Meg and Thayne. They didn't really want to but did for the rest of us. The night could not have been more perfect!!!!
