THANKS JILL!

Kyle will probably claim the title of
FAVORITE UNCLE
- since he got to hold him before
any of the other siblings -
Stacie likes to call herself everyone's
FAVORITE AUNT. . . we will see!

Lucy was loved and spoiled by Kyle for a few
days as daddy and mommy were away
she loved being with us -
Sleeping at our house was a little more exciting with the dog and movies and . . . .PAY DOUGH!
(Not sure Steve got too much sleep - just fun!)
Some people think Carter looks like Kyle
Kyle thinks he looks like Brady?
I think he looks like - Carter - Darling~!

Jan 7th PRINCESS Elyse had her 5th Birthday
and celebrated at her official bday party -
Princess' came to her castle for THE party!
Stacie got to come home for it - as well as a wedding for her cousin Courtney Urmston!
(actually she flew home via Vegas/Phoenix etc.
and flew back via Denver - the reality hit us of no direct flights from here to there anymore!)
Stacie was suffering from lack of sleep I think. . .
Stephanie was probably suffering from a headache afterward -
cute little princesses with attitudes!










Cannot wait to have you all here soon
to meet Carter and
enjoy the 10 GRANDKIDS all together!
HEY, it's about time to celebrate Papa Steve's Bday -
Disneyland might be the perfect spot!
What do you guys think????
