Kids are great! But nothing gets better than hanging with the girlfriends! Linda, Vauna and Annette teamed up with me recently and we headed to Thatcher for a singles conference. We giggled like little girls all the way over and back! Elaine, my partner in crime, made our group complete. We saw 2 movies, had a steak dinner atop Grahm Mountain, danced to a few tunes with questionable partners and laughed til we cried. Thanks to my cousin Martha who let us stay both nights at her house.
The Kids & Grandkids
Child #1: Nathan with our Sweet Shelly who has been family since Tara was tiny. She's my 5th daughter in many ways! Beautiful Abby is 5 and a Kindergartener in Cypress, TX...and just look at those twins (Evan w/Dad, Nathan w/Mom)! They're as adorable as they are energetic.
Child #2: Sanya married Calvin, her highschool sweetheart. Who would believe that they were the Homecoming King & Queen?!! The boys look like angels...just look at Daniel's face, Kyle the big brother & little Carter...there's my boys!
Child #3: Jordan is my miracle child...& he proved it by finding Tamra. She's one in a cajillion! What a happy family! Dallin is a thoughtful big brother or perhaps I should say older brother. Look at my Bryce, he could eat your lunch!
Child #4: Allison is my Great Adventurer! Jason--the man of her dreams hails from Down-Under and they have a most romantic story. Their current residence is Australia near Brisbane, and my (mainly American!) grandkids are chips off the ol' block... Thomas (Mamaw's big boy), Penny (last of the girls so far) & Sam (what a character)!
Child #5: Here's my Callie girl all grown up! Along with our handsome Mark they're like 2 peas in a pod! Both naturally happy, diligent in achieving goals and talented in many ways. Both attend Utah Valley University in Orem. Callie works with the Beehives & Mark with the Deacons. Awesome!
Child #6: And drumroll for Zack shown here in the only picture I can find. One of these days he'll stop working at Firestone long enough to let me take his senior picture. Oops, too late! Guess it will be the Missionary pose! He's my hard working boy!
And last but not least... Tara! This charmer keeps us smiling with her quick wit, beautiful voice, friendly smile and joy for life. She's sure to be Gilbert High School's winner of the 'Most Likely to Succeed Sophomore' award.
