-7-

Today is Ellie Jayne Ware's Birthday. I can't believe she is 7 years old! This girl is classic! She is funny, unique, hard working, a great friend and determined. She brings so much fun to our family (sometimes a little too much:)!! We hope you have a great Birthday- We love you!

My First Born-

I can't believe how fast time flies! Last week Adam and I went to Young Women's New Beginnings with Addie. I can't believe she will turn 12 this July-where does the time go? They asked all the parents to introduce their girl with a candy bar that represents their personality. I chose Skittles because Addie's personality is like a rainbow of Color-

RED- She is determined and self-motivated. When she puts her mind to

something she goes for it.

YELLOW- She is happy and sunny and friendly. (most of the time)

ORANGE- Her favorite color. She is sassy and spunky.

GREEN- VERY organized and likes things nice and clean.

PURPLE-She is confident and a hard worker. She has worked hard in

Gymnastics to get all her tricks. And in piano she has spent hours practicing and

can now play the hymns.

I Love this girl. She is such a great example to in our family. I am really excited for her to enter the Young Women's program. I know she will love it! I know that it will be such a great experience. The theme this year for the youth is "We Believe"- I know that as she enters young Womens that she will learn and decided what she believes in.

My baby boy is "3"!

I can't believe that it was three years ago today that this boy was born-

Where has the time gone?

I always tell Zack that he is my favorite boy and he tells me that I am his favorite Mommy! I love that this boy is like my little best friend. I have enjoyed every last second of the last three years and look forward all the seconds to come.

Zack is all boy! He loves Monster trucks and cars so thats what he got for his birthday.

Grandma and Grandpa gave him this BIG monster truck!

Zack and Ayden loved riding in this big monster truck at Chuckie Cheese's

Last year we went to Chuckie Cheese's for Zacks 2nd birthday. He loved it so much and all year every time we passed it Zack would say there's mine Birthday. He has wanted to go there so bad and we kept telling him we could go there when he started going potty. It worked out perfect that he was finally completly potty trained last week so he decided he wanted to go there for his Birthday Party. We met Grandma Betty and grandpa Marc, and Kipp, Chelsea, Ayden and Colby at Chuckie Cheese's last night for a little Birthday Celebrating.

This morning I was getting dressed and Zack was watching a show- when I came back out to the family room this is what I found. Zack was so excited that he had gone potty by himself and put his undies back on all by himself. What a big boy!

Buzz has been sitting in our bathroom for the last six months for Zack to have as soon as he started going potty like a big boy. Well finally last week he went poop and i got down Buzz. Zack took his hand and shaking it said "nice to meet you buzz!" He was so excited to finally keep buzz.

Zack is completely adored by his sisters -and he completely adores them.

GRANDPA GREAT

John Lewis Dunyon

It has taken me all day to do this post. Last night my darling Little Grandpa Dunyon passed away surrounded by his loved ones. He was 92 years old. He was so proud of his age. He lived at home and still drove his car. He was always wanting to know what we were doing in our day to day lives and took such pride in our family. I can't believe he is gone. I will miss you grandpa. I am so grateful to have had you as my grandpa. I love you but I know that you are Happy where you are and having such a glorious reunion.

On my 30th birthday in Grandpa's back yard where I was almost every July 24th of my life. What amazing memories filled with love and happiness.

Just Last week we visited Grandpa in the back yard.

WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS
