Having Some Great Times!

We have been having so much fun with our kids here. We've also had some great laughs! Jacob and Caleb were eating carrots and Jacob thought that chewing them up and spitting them on Caleb would be great fun. I'm surprised Caleb was such a good sport. Angela & I couldn't resist snapping this one for memories. Talk about a bulls eye!

Johnny, Jeff's brother just finished his mission to Argentina. He also happens to be one of Houston's best friends. Angela & I & the boys went to the airport to welcome him home. He sure looks great huh? Boy, you can sure see his resemblance to Jeff huh?

The boys enjoyed this fountain at the Airport. It kept them busy while we waited for Johnny!

We got a good taste of what it will be like in 3 months when we welcome Houston home from his mission. Houston had told Johnny to give me a big hug from him. I'll tell you, that started the emotions. I know it is going by fast now but I feel like I'm still guarding my heart until it's really here. It's like you have to do that to get through. I guess it's how I try to be tough.....no tears.

Here are one set of happy parents! They are now done sending all of their children on missions! What a great accomplishment Jim & Lori! We love you!

Here are the boys watching a movie together. I couldn't help from snapping this one. Especially from two tough boys! They really are softies! Oh I sure love these boys!

Kristie's Graduation from BYU!

Kristie finished her degree in Fitness & Wellness and graduated on April 24th. Rick & I were able to go down to BYU and be there as she received her diploma! Wow! What an accomplishment! We are so proud of you Kristie!

She just finished running the Boston Marathon just 4 days before that. Talk about stacking the week with accomplisments! Her finish time was 3:34. Pretty amazing!

She & Tom flew out to Boston and were able to spend some time with his parents while they were there. How fun! The McConnons are so good to her! We love them a ton!

Tom graduated last winter so they are both done now. What a cute couple huh! We had fun celebrating with them and went out to dinner in Park City to an awesome Thai food restaurant. Nathan & Kendra came with us. We sure love those guys! Kendra looks so cute pregnant. Hey, now with no homework to do maybe we will see more of our kids?

Check out this priceless picture of Daddy & Daughter!

Grandma's Treatment with the Boys!

Since Angela & the boys were here I thought it would be fun to take them with me so I could show them off to my nurses. I'm kind of a proud Grandma. They also got to watch me get my treatment of herceptin. They are use to doctors & hospitals anyway with Jeff being in the medical field so they were so good.

Before we left for the treatment, I put on my wig. I had worn a hat to the airport so they hadn't seen the wig yet. When Caleb saw me in the wig he said, "I don't know you." I said, "Caleb, it's Grandma." He said, "I don't like that one. I want you to wear your Grandma hat." So here I am with Caleb's favorite hat.

Even though we were there for an hour you can see how good the boys were....maybe a little bored, but the nurses did reward them with cookies and juice right after this picture. Cute huh?

Angela & The Boys Are Here!

I picked up Angela and the boys from the Airport today. Wow! Can you believe how big they are? They are so cute! We are going to have such a great time! Angela looks pretty awesome for surviving two flights with 3 boys doesn't she?

Easter 2008!

As you can see from this funny picture......Lacey & Cole were very excited that they are still kids and get to have have fun finding treats that the Easter Bunny left.

I think that Cole was especially excited that he found the most. I think that he needs his hair cut! What do you think?! He wants to dye it. All I can say is his hair grows much faster than mine. We love you Cole!

Lacey's Senior Prom

It's hard to believe, but this is Lacey's last prom & last dance of High School. She looked beautiful tonight in her dress that we found at Mariposa when they were closing out. We got it for a great deal. I put the sleeve/straps on it from some material we got at another store. We love you Lacey!
This is Lacey's date, Jay Smack. They are fun friends as you can see. They doubled with cousin Megan Tanner, and her date Quinn Hugentobler who joined them for part of the festivities. We'll try and post pictures of the group later.

This is a cute one of Lacey & Dad giving each other a "High 5". What a cute Dad & Daughter!

Here is Lacey showing us a little of her personality. She is pretty spunky. She and her date, Jay were put up for Prom King & Queen. That was quite an honor. Lacey didn't win but was sure excited for the girl that did. Jay did end up winning King. That was cool!

Kathy's Birthday/Sister's Retreat

We all flew down to Arizona on April 5th to surprise Kathy for an early birthday celebration. Debbie wasn't able to fly in until Monday. This is a surprised Kathy arriving at the airport to pick up (only) Tammi for a visit. She was surprised to see all of us there. Happy Birthday Kathy! We Love You!

We enjoyed a nice 90 degree afternoon on the first day in Arizona. We enjoyed putting on our swim suits and sitting out in the sunshine hoping to get some kind of a tan. It was just nice to sit and talk and enjoy the warmth with each other and Heidi's cute girls. I even got a really nice toe nail painting by Sydney. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of it. My toenails still look pretty Sydney! Thank you!

This is a beautiful picture of our handsome Dad and one of his precious granddaughters, Londyn. I sure wish I could get a picture of each granddaughter with their sweet Grandpa Haworth. We love you Dad!
Here is our beautiful Mother with another precious granddaughter, Taylor. We have the most beautiful parents! We love you Mom & Dad! Doesn't Mom look so pretty in blue?!

Here's a cute one of our birthday sister, Kathy and Heidi & Terri. This evening Alan grilled us some yummy chicken & steak that Heidi had marinated for dinner. It was such a wonderful meal. We ate and then had a fun family night of sharing our love & fun memories of Kathy. Who doesn't love Kathy?! She is so awesome and amazing! We are so grateful you are our sister Kathy! Thanks Alan, Kathy, Heidi, Jon & Family for letting us be in your homes.

We did happen to get everyone in a shot together. We had so much fun! We are so blessed to have each other! I don't think that there are 7 more girls that love each other more than we do and parents that love as much as ours. We love you Mom & Dad!

Here we are at the Mesa Temple grounds waiting for the Easter Pageant to start. Gratefully, one of Kathy & Alan's friends helped save us seats until we got there and then we took over and helped save seats for Heidi & Mom & Dad. It was a wonderful pageant on our Savior's life. What a wonderful tribute and right before Easter made it even more special. We had so much fun. We flew home the next day. I am so blessed! Thank you all for being the greatest! Thank you Rick & family for letting me go and helping out at home. I love you all tons!

Tiff's & Kolby's Boise Open House

We had so much fun having family come to Boise for Tiffany & Kolby's Open House/Reception. They are such a cute couple. Here are a couple of cute shots of them cutting their cake.

Here are the cousins trying to be the first at the cake! What jokesters! What cute girls!

Cole surrounded by the beautiful women! He's really enjoying himself despite the tough look! What a lucky guy!

Despite the fact that these guys stood in line all night they were great sports and were wonderful hosts. This is Kolby's twin brother Kelly and of course our awesome Ty and girls! We love you! They looked handsome & beautiful!

Rick having a kodak moment. King Tut would be jealous!

Lacey with cousins Tiff & Aubrey. You would think they were sisters. Where is Ashley......Ashhhhhhlllllllllleeeeeeeyyy...... where are you?!

Here I am with Lacey & Uncle Doug. I had just had my last chemo treatment two days before so I was a bit tired but I was sure enjoying the great event and the fun company. Besides, being at your niece's wedding with family is a great way to celebrate being done with chemo!

A Weekend of (at) Solitude!

We were invited to go to Solitude (in Utah) for a fun weekend of skiing with the Wagstaffs. We had such a great time! Alyce couldn't make it....she was blessed with a fun new granddaughter right before we left so she opted to stay and be a Grandma. Denny & Drew were kind enough to help us out with gear and some lessons and then we were off. Cole was really amazing...he caught on so quick. I was amazed at Lacey and Rick also.....And you should see the Wagstaffs! Between skiing, guitar hero, games, food & fun...even the flu that went around couldn't have put a damper on the weekend. Thanks Wagstaffs!
