Corbin Vacations with Grandma Marvalee

Corbin is so cute. Of course, he's my grandson. I love his little guts out! Lacee was worried he'd spend most of his time watching cartoons. I bought him some action figures, Batman,etc., and he hasn't wanted to watch any cartoons. It's amazing what fun $1.00 will produce!

Danielle in the Field

Danielle is in the field. She is doing well. She needs our prayers. Cultural shock has set in. In her group she was the only American sent out in the field. Here's a picture of her with some of her new Brazilian missionary friends.

Family May 2008

Danielle is doing well on her mission. She sounds happy and very busy. She has always (since 12 years old) talked in church on Mother's Day. This year I told her that Tyler was talking since she left and then she informed me that she was picked randomly out of the audience to talk on Mother's Day. How funny. She sent me a postcard from Brazil. I can't believe how many skyscrapers there are. I guess she's not the tallest thing there! No pics of her yet.
Tyler tried out for Kanab Student Body President and got it. Kanab kids are so good to him. No wonder he likes it here so much. Of course he loved Hurricane, too, but I plucked him up and moved him to Kanab.His summer job is to be my landscaper. I told him I'd rather pay him than somebody else. He's got a big job since we have no lawn, no sprinklers, no fence, only dirt that's got to be leveled. We'll see what kind of skills he has.
Leisha has 2 jobs and is living in St. George. It's nice to have her close by. She is our hair dresser. The poor girl never stops cutting, coloring, etc. It's wonderful to be able to get my hair cut in my PJs. She and David D. visit often. She keeps encouraging me to be better at the healthy thing. I hope she keeps after me.
Lacee, Dave, Corbin and Shalyce are doing well.

Lacee is still in love with horses. Teaching horse classes and riding herself. Dave is quite the worker. He's amazing with the kids at home, too. Corbin is a total boy, with swords, guns, action heroes, etc. He loves to get dirty and will eat Grandma's eggs. Shalyce is a beauty. She has a smile on her face most the time. She brings us much happiness. She took some steps by herself on Mother's Day here at my house. Yeah!

Happy Birthday!

My FAVORITE child's birthday is TODAY! MAY 8th! I just don't know what I'd do without her! She always keeps her younger siblings in line, and me, also! Her SPECTACULAR name is Lacee! I also allow her full access to post on my blog! If I had to pick and choose between my children, I'd save her first! Now what did I do with that password to my blog??

Poise

Leisha as a fabulous dancer.

Mom & Dad putting up with the kids dressing them in Halloween costume! I think they had a little fun. Dad may have pushed his teeth out a little in this photo. Look at Mom putting her arm around Dad's shoulder. Always in love.
Lacee, Danielle, and Leisha poising for me. I made them new Christmas dresses.
Always a poise.
Now they're all grown up and still poising. Danielle's farewell dinner!

Check out the poising children on this page. I think they got this from Grandma Allen (Marva).
Tyler in his spify new tux at Linda's house.
Baby Shalyce, always smiling and enjoying the Christmas wrapping paper.
Corbin in the tub. What a hunk of a guy!

Shalyce knows how to stick her tongue out, too!

Pretty girls at our house, always!

Always a poise. If the camera is going the girls usually always give me a poise.

Leisha took us to Canada!

Welcome to Kanab

Tyler took me for a ride to the TV Towers overlooking Kanab. The old 4-wheeler started up and I hung on. It was a beautiful site. Tyler really loves this area and so do I. We left from our house on the ATV. The sun started to go down as we traveled home. Two deer bounded in front of us and met up with 3 others. Watch the video and Tyler will introduce Kanab to you from a world map. His mind works in funny ways! Wish I was that fast! WE MISS OUR DANIELLE IN BRAZIL!

Kanab's Prom

Tyler's prom was really nice. The girls and guys danced to "Everything". The decorations were awesome. Dinner and Pictures were before promenade. Kanab kids are so good to Tyler. They voted him Prom King. He had a date with beautiful Tanya!
