Happy Birthday Dad. We miss you.

As a celebration for dads birthday, 3/22, the family went to the cemetary and let 7 balloons go (dads favorite number). We think of and talk about him constantly. In Easter service this morning, Sabastian filled out a prayer request and wrote "Make sure my mom doesn't cry for my G" and he asked me to give it to Pastor Ronnie. We all cry because we miss him - we are sad for us, not for him. We know he's in a place of no pain, no sorrow.... all JOY. He celebrated his birthday with Jesus Christ. What a legacy he has left here. Every day I see my dad in my kids. Savannah (bless her heart) has G's crazy eyebrow! And Sabastian, well every time he finds something of G's at Nana's house, it automatically becomes his. We are all so proud of dad and all he was and still is to people.

Savannah's Baptism

We are so proud of Savannah and the young lady she is turning into. She and G had a pact - that she would get baptized in 'his building' when it was finished. That night came on January 20, 2008. I know G was looking down from Heaven to see his girl grow up just a little bit more.

Fifth Annual Missions Banquet

High School Musical 3???

WOW! I've gotta say - when these four get together, there is NEVER a dull moment! They are all 4 quite the performers. Sonja and I couldn't get thru practicing one song and they'd already have a new dance routine to show us. Honestly, I don't know WHERE they get it!!! On this particular night, Mason said "Aunt Steph, your family is way better than cable!"

SNOW DAY!!!

What a FUN time we had in the snow! It was amazing. The snow was so thick the kids said it looked like cotton balls. They got out the ski clothes and played until it was too dark to see.

A True Friend is a Forever Friend

This is my dear friend Pam. Steve loves her because she can teach me to cook over the phone! Pam and I were pregnant at the same time ~ Savannah and Tanner are 3 weeks apart. Pam and her family moved back to California eight years ago and we haven't seen each other until this weekend. It was just like she never left! Pam is a true blessing to me and I appreciate her friendship.
