Tad's Big 40

We celebrated Tad's 40th birthday this past month, it was 3 days of party party party, we had a family bir

thday party on his real birthday (the 19th) I made Tad his favorite dinner which is fried chicken & mashed potato's, for dessert we had cherry pie. Tad got a new fishing pole & some flies, he loved it. The next day was Tad's day off so we let Dayna stay home from school to watch Adam so we could could go out. We went to see the new James Bond movie, it was such a guy movie, if you know what I mean. Then we went to lunch at the Olive Garden, we had the soup, salad & breadstick deal, they had this new soup with chicken dumplings in it, it was sooo yummy. Friday we invited some of our friends from our West Valley neighborhood & Tad's bishopric here for a party. It was so much fun to visit with everyone. Tad sometimes feels like he doesn't have any friends, so I wanted to prove him wrong. We know that any of these people would do anything for us. I am so grateful to have friends & family who love & care about us. Here are some pictures of the cake I made him & some of the people who came.

All about Dayna

Dayna just turned 18. She is a beautiful young woman. She has her whole future ahead of her, but right now she is loving her last few months of high school and flirting with all the boys in her classes. I don't know if she ever pays attention to the teacher, but her grades seem to be pretty good so far. Dayna is so much fun to tease, everyone does it & just can't help themselves because she reacts to it and is so funny. I am so happy to have Dayna she is my only girl, I know she wishes she had a sister & I do to, but I told her that I'm always there if she need to talk, plus she has lots of girlfriends that are like sisters to her too. She seems ok with that. Plus she doesn't have to share her stuff. I am so grateful that she is a good girl and knows what she wants, I hope she continues to make good choices in her life. She is planning on getting a job this summer and going to Snow College in the fall.

All about Jason

Jason is 15 and is just finishing up his Freshman year of High school. He's been having a great time . He so funny and has lots of friends. He just got his learners permit, I'm scared to death to take him driving though. He is still a little entreprenuer, him and his friend bought a bunch of bunnies, and are hoping they will make lots more bunnies so they can sell them for Easter. They also applied for a job this summer at the Scofield Scout and camp and they both got hired and will be working there for 9 weeks, this summer. I am so proud of Jason , he such a good kid and is always willing to help. I don't what I will do without him this summer. I am so grateful to have him as my son.

All about Ryan

Ryan is 12 yrs old and I can't believe it, he was my baby for a long time, but he's growing up.He looks so handsome in his suit as he passes the Sacrament each Sunday. He loves to hang out with Jason even I though I think Jason get's tired of him always following him around. Ryan loves to play any type of game, if he's not playing computer games he's outside with the neighbors playing war games with homemade weapons. Ryan is a quiet kid and shy around people he doesn't know, he has a harder time making friends than Jason, but now that he's the only one in elementary school he's starting to make his own friends. He is finishing up his last year of elementary school and is looking forward to Junior High next year. He is a great kid & really tries hard to what's is right. I am so lucky to have him as a son.

All about Adam

Adam is our big surprise baby. He is almost 9 yrs younger than Ryan. I really thought I was done having kids. After Ryan was born, I still wanted one more, but I had two miscarriages, & then I couldn't get pregnant after that, so I assumed after 5+ yrs that there was a medical condition preventing me from getting pregnant & Tad & I resigned to the idea that our family was complete. Imagine our shock when we found out I was pregnant with Adam! But even though he wasn't planned, he has been such a great blessing in our lives. He's spoiled rotten, but he is a good baby & keeps me company during the day, I used to complain about how boring it was all day with no kids around. So I think Heavenly Father sent Adam down here to keep me company. I am so grateful he did. He is turning 4 this summer, I can't believe it. He is so cute, yesterday he said "mom your my friend, and my mom" I just love listening to him talk, and watching him learn new things everyday. I'm enjoying him as much as I can!
