GRANDMA KAY GRADUATES!!!





Last weekend Grandma Kay graduated with her masters degree in nursing. She got it done in only 16 months. Man was she busy working at the St. Hospital and Western Wyoming college and spending time with her first grandson all while going to school. What a woman. What a great accomplishment. So Brax and I stayed home to keep the fort down at home while Mike flew to Texas to suprise his mom and be there for her graduation. She was extremely shocked. Plan worked, although it was hard to keep it a secret and I did almost blow it one time. Penny recorverd it though and the suprise was a success. Luckily the graduation was in Texas and just so happens that is where Penny lives. Things worked out great. We love you so much and are so proud of you. Lots of love, Mike, Mandie & Bubba

Braxton has a Valentine!


My sister Nikki was watching Braxton the other day while I was at work. She has a 10 year old daughter, Tayler. So of course she has dolls and boy does Brax like them. Tayler is the only niece we have the rest are all nephews. So that's the only place to find dolls and barbies. So Brax has had his first dance and kiss for Valentine's day. What a hoot he is. He will hate us when he is older and we have all these black-male pictures. Love you little buddy!

Better late then never!


Better late than never. These are some Christmas pictures. We had such a great time with Braxton this year, he is such his own little person. We stayed in town so we were able to spend Christmas with both families this year. Nikki and Garry went to oaklahoma, so we did Christmas with them a few days before they left. What a great time it was. Braxton got a little 4-wheeler and wasn't to sure at first. Once he learned he had to hold the button down, he was off. We hope everyone had a great holiday season.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!!!!



This weekend my sister Nikki and I made a little trip to Salt Lake to suprise our other sister Sondi Sue with a fun day out with the girls. We arranged with her husband to have her up and dressed by 10:00, very important. So he kept our little secret and we showed up to take her out. It was so fun, she didn't know what to expect. So we went to our usual place Lovely nails and got pedicures. They are the best and every now and then you need to pamper yourself. It was fun to catch up and hang out with NO kids. Then we hit a couple of stores and went to our favorite little place for lunch, Sue Casa!!!! We have to go there with the girls since our husbands don't like it. It was so fun!! What a great day. Thank you ladies.
