Happy Birthday Girls

I am a little late for Danette's birthday blog, (sorry) but I decieded since their birthdays are all within about 9 days of the other that I would blog their birthdays all at once. (saving a little time for myself) They have all grown to be wonderful mothers they are awesome daughters. They each have their owns strengths and talents and I am very blessed to be able to be their mother they have taught me more than they will ever know by the good examples that they are to me, to each other and to their younger brother and sister. I love them very much!!!! Thank you for being who you are. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!!!!

I, like Brittany had to post our 1 and only snow storm that southern Ut gets, we recieved 5" that was more than my mom recieved that day in Midvale. Pretty rare but it was fun. Unlike Brittanys' house we still have snow hanging around. But I know by the end of the week it will be gone because we have had two days of sun already so I know it won't last much longer. The top right picture is looking down Vista towards Main street (for those that know Leeds) the road is completly covered Monday morning. Pretty awesome but will be glad when it is gone.

Reading Corner

I thought this was great Grandpa and Ellie reading books together. We had the pleasure of having Abbie and Ellie stay with us when Des and Mark went to CA for their Anniversary. It was fun having them but we did miss Josh and Emma.

My helper these days

So this is what happens almost everytime I sit down at the computer I have a little buddy with me. I sat down this morning, I was looking at Emma's blog the cute little video with Andi and the kitten. Well garfield was very interested in the kitten. He also loves bitting at and pawing at the arrow on the screen. I was making a comment on Emma's page and decieded I would take a picture of Garfield being weird.

Happy 20th Daniel

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL
The top two pics are of his first birthday. He has grown into quite the young man. I even had the opportunity to wish him a happy birthday today. Stephanie Daniels (one of the ward members) the same people that had him over for Christmas.
I had her phone # and I called her the other day to ask a favor to see if there was a DQ by their house and she told me of "Brusters Ice cream" which is like Leatherbys here. I called and ordered an ice cream cake and 1/2 gallon of bubblegum ice cream (his favorite) she picked it up today for him and had he and his comp. over and as they were getting ready to light the candle she called me (he didn't know) she put it on speaker phone and I wished him a Happy Birthday, he didn't know that it was me until I told him that he had a package waiting at his apt. and I heard him say " THAT'S MY MOM" They then sang Happy Birthday to him and she told him the cake was from me and He said "THANKS MOM, I LOVE YOU." That was the extent of the conversation but it certainly made my day just to wish him happy birthday. There are wonderful people in GA. I can't wait to meet them they take such good care of their missionaries in GA. The other two pictures are pics she emailed me later today after the party. I thank that wonderful family for letting me be a part of his birthday!!!!!!!!

Over Protective Daddy

Ok this is how Cody was greeted, shovel in one hand and gun in the other. Daddy was just protecting his baby girl. It is a good thing Cody know our family well.

Here they are after Daddy left the room. I am sure they will have a great time they have been friends almost since the day they were born.

Christmas 2007 at the Fowlks

This was Christmas morning (on the left). We had a great time with Danette, Chad and Carly with us. Little Carly did not wake up until around 8:00 it was kinda nice to sleep in. But it was fun to see her with her presents. As you can see Daniel was sorta of with us as he calls it his Voodoo Doll. He also was present with us for Christmas Eve dinner.

We had a wonderful call from Daniel Christmas Day spent many hours on the phone with him once in the morning and once in the afternoon we all got to chat with him and hear of his amazing experiences. A ward member picked them up in the morning and they spent all day with them and they was able to use there phones to call their family's Thank you Richards family in Georgia.

Later that Day Des and her family arrived, in time for Daniels afternoon call we had the Smiths over it was great fun playing with all our new toys.

The other pictures on the right are pictures through out the day. The cute picture of Carly and Raylie looking out the window was so cute all the big kids where outside playing and they wanted to join them they were so cute looking out the window at them. Ellie and Carly had matching PJ's and Raylie and Carly earlier where dressed similar. Logan's build a monkey recieved matching spidarman clothes. All in all we had a great time with everyone one here and the opportunity to speak with Elder Fowlks.
