Rylee, Brik, Evka & Oakley. We all rode over in Grandpa Layne's Commuter Van. aka "the big HONKER" to get our family pictures taken. The kids were having a blast!

After pictures we went over to my brother's house, Phil & had dinner. Brik & Evka were playing on the Jeep together. They were hilarious.

Berkley giving Ryder a kiss......

Little Ryder....he is even cuter in person! We loved being able to hold him & smile at him. He is such a good little boy!

Mackenzie was excited to hold her new little cousin.

Today was Career Day at West Canyon. The girls were excited to dress up! Oakley was having a sad morning (not unusual for her) she was a cowgirl, Bailey borrowed Aunt Cortney's Headmaster's stuff & was a hair stylist. Mackenzie was a basketball player, her friend Mallory was bringing her a Jersey to wear.

Cute Cowgirl Buns!

Berkley was waiting to get in the bath...and I found her in the office with my cowboy boots on! I'm pretty sure I have a very similar picture of me when I was little.

Roller Skating

We took the kids to Roller Drome on President's Day! We had such a fun time! Shane wanted to race me, so he got the $2 racing skates...he soon trading them in for the old fashioned roller skates. Brik was learning pretty quick how to skate!

Berkley wasn't so sure about this! And I think she was smiling in this pic. "?"

We had a nice chain going for the "girls only" skate!

a post for my BFF...

I met Becky Yamamoto on the first day of Kindergarten. I came home and told my mom that I met a new friend and that she had a flat nose. :0) We were best friends from that day on. We both were born on the same day. We always had such a good friendship. We shared so many ups & downs throughout our childhood & on to High School. After H.S. Becky went to College at Washington State University. In January 1994 she invited me to come visit her at school. That would be the last time I saw her. She was tragically killed in a head on car accident. I can remember the night my Mom had to tell me that she had passed away. It crushed me. Becky mailed me a card a few weeks prior to her death that I keep very close to my heart. It was almost as if she new she was going to be leaving us here on this earth. It has almost been 15 years since she was taken from this earthly life. I have been praying that I could do her temple work. I finally got the impression to just call her Mom. So yesterday I did it. Her Mom is going to talk to her husband & daughters and let me know soon how they feel. I have been praying that their hearts will be softened to know what to do. This is a little tribute to Becky that I have been meaning to post for quite a while.
