Grandma Dear & Mylee
My beautiful Grandma LOVES babies. She has Alzheimer's and lives in a care facility. She has a doll that she loves, and most of the time she thinks her doll is a real baby. She will hold her doll and sing to it for hours. We were so excited to take Mylee to see Grandma. Grandma kissed her and loved her and sang to her. I think she was surprised when Mylee actually moved around. Most of the time Grandma has a hard time expressing herself in words...usually she just sings. But when Grandma held Mylee, everything she said to the baby was clear. Grandma told Mylee she was a beautiful baby!! I am so glad that Grandma is still with us to see MY granddaughter!
Ashley turns 14!!
I know...it's hard to believe that Ashley is 14 years old!! It seems like just yesterday that I delivered the biggest, most beautiful baby ever!! Yes, skinny little Ashley was my biggest baby...8 lbs. 12 oz. She was almost half grown when she came out.
Jason decided to surprise Ashley and take her to Disneyland for her birthday. She honestly had no idea she was going. We packed her clothes while she was at school. Ash is not a big fan of putting her clothes away, so I was surprised that she noticed her birthday clothes were gone. She cried and told us someone had stolen her new clothes. Her siblings played along and "helped" her look for her new clothes that had gone missing. I took her to Salt Lake and told her that we were picking dad up from work to go to dinner for her birthday. Jason asked her if she would like to go to dinner or to Disneyland....yeah right!! She didn't believe we were serious until Jason put his suitcase in my car and I dropped them off at the airport. They spent the weekend in Disneyland and had a fabulous time!
