Kylee's Wedding Dress

We finally bought Kylee's dress yesterday. Kylee, Karrie and I traveled to Orem yesterday and finished some wedding stuff. We bought the wedding dress and shirts and ties. I am now broke again and need to take a second job. The dress is beautiful and we of course bought accessories. I think it would have been cheaper to give Kylee money and they elope. Oh, well at least I only have 2 girls to buy for. One is almost done and then I will have only one more.

Kylee's Bridal Shower

Kylee's bridal shower turned out fine. I was so stressed about it. That morning I got up at 4:30 to get ready to go and get my mom in Brigham City because none of my family was coming and none of them would meet me in Heber. I rushed out and got her and got back to get ready for the shower. I still had to make the potato salad which I did. I think it went well and Kylee had fun. She got wonderful gifts. I appreciate everyone that came to the shower. It was great to see Kylee. We put a princess crown on her and gave her a wand. She has always thought she was a princess. Her dad always told her she was his little princess. This is Kylee's dog Bella. She calls thinks the dog is her little princess.

This was her cute little nite from Karrie. Karrie thought that this would be a funny gift for Kylee.

Kylee had fun opening gifts. I told her that her apartment might be to small for everything so I could help take some of the stuff. She doesn't agree.

Karrie and some of the other little kids sprayed Kylee with silly string. It was quite funny.

Kylee had to stuff a piece of bubble gum in her mouth everytime she got a question wrong about Cory. She had 15 pieces in her mouth. We always knew that she had a big mouth.

It was fun for Kylee and I hope the rest of them. Cory's mom and sister Lisa came all the way from Nevada to the shower and they drove all they way back that night. The reality of Kylee getting married is beginning to sink in. We love her lots and love to see what a beautiful young lady she has grown to be.

Kylee's Birthday

I can't not believe that Kylee turned 20 this year. It just seems like yesterday we held her in our arms and was so excited to get our first little girl. We were told that we would not be able to have any more children and Kylee was our little miracle. The doctor was jumping up and down showing me the results. I was amazed and glad to be able to have Kylee join are little family. She was her dad's little princess and still is. Her brothers were so excited to get a girl. They treated her like a princess. She could get them to do anything for her including cleaning her very messy room. Then they became her protector and she couldn't do anything or date anyone without them getting involved. Poor Kylee. Luckily they all love Cory.

Kylee you were always dancing around and doing flips. You always wanted to dance and be a gymnast. You accomplished both. We are all so proud to watch you dance and cheer. You were awesome and still are.

You also loved horses and always dressed up in the outfit Grandpa Newell made for you. You were so cute.

Here you are at one of your first individual competitions. You took first. Yeah!!!!

You also loved to swim and always wished we had a diving team here in Vernal. You were awesome at diving just as you were on doing flips on the floor.

Pugsley was one of your favorite dogs and you would snuggle up with him and go to sleep. You were so cute when you were asleep.

You always wanted to be at the top of the pyramids and you accomplished that when you became older too!!!

You prayed for a little sister and was so excited when I became pregnant. When I lost that baby you cried and cried. Then you came out one day and told me that I was going to have a baby girl and that Jesus told you so. I told you that I was not going to have anymore. You were right and I was wrong. We had Karrie and you loved her a lot except when she turned two then you asked me if we could send her back because she made too many messes. You are a great example for her and help her in so many ways.

You have always been close to all of your brothers and they love you a lot. Your whole face goes red when you cry.

Brotherly love!!!

You have lots of friends and have done crazy things with them. Nice mud bath.

You are a beautiful daughter of God and we are so thankful he sent you to us. Even through the rough times we have loved you dearly and have always been proud that you are our daughter.

Trying to be in the 80's.

Flying high in the air and you always do. You made an awesome cheerleader.

Look at you do those flips that you always wanted to do when you were younger.

You are always a princess to us and look like one too. You were so excited to become an aunt.


Sisterly love. Thanks for giving us 20 years of joy and we look forward to the next years as you become a wife. We love you and we will truly miss you. You have been a great joy and great person to talk too. We love you Kylee, Happy Birthday!!!! We know you will do even more great things.

Justin's Haircut

Megan wanted Justin's hair cut so Kylee decided that she would do it. Justin was not a happy camper. He did not appreciate his hair being cut. This is the pictue after his hair cut.

These are the pictures of him while he is getting his hair cut. He didn't like Kylee for awhile after this incident.

Junior Prom Pictures

Colby's Junior Prom night was a real cool thing to see him all dressed up. He decided to get a white with black pin strip tux. I thought he looked very handsome. He took Candace Workman. She is a friend. In fact, she is the girl on his wrestling team. Her boyfriend was not going and the girl Colby likes had a dance competition so he asked Candace. Justin and Leah were here and Justin decided he needed to get his picture taken too. This is a picture of him showing us his muscles. He insists on wearing his hat backwards and these beautiful Mr. Potato head glasses. Don't know where he gets that idea from. Justin loves Colby so he had to have his picture with Colby. What handsome boys!!!!

Candace and Colby looking very cute together.

It is fun to see my kids grow up. Yes, Sandra that is my bird in the background. He is still alive after 19 years.

Junior Prom Promenade

Colby's Junior Prom pictures that I finally got loaded onto my computer. This is the girl that Colby promenade with. Her name is Bailey and they have been friends since first grade. It was great to see him dance. He did a great job and I was impressed that he could dance.

This is him before he went to the Junior promenade.

Kylee and Cory

The whole family is so excited to have Cory become part of our family. All my boys think he is awesome and can't wait for them to marry. I think Kylee will have a hard time keeping him away from them. They are always making plans. Kylee and Cory make a cute couple and I can't wait for them to be married. It is a sad time and a happy time. I will miss Kylee dearly, but look forward to getting a new (crazy) son.

Kylee is always giving me a hard time for not put anything on my blog site except Colby and the grandkids. I hope she likes the pictures I chose. Seriously though the two are cute together. We will have to thank Jace for this or maybe not!!!!
