Catch-up and photo "overload..."
The little lambs and jumping and playing all the time - and growing like weeds...

 Geraniums planted - check...
 First rose blooming - check...
 Tomatoes, peppers planted - check...
 Onions, peas, spinach, and carrots planted - check, check...
 And potatoes growing so fast....
 These big bad boys are not much help----just after I took this photo, Elliot gave me the biggest yawn ever.....and, Mr. Sully just blinked a couple of times and went back to sleep...

I thought I had lost these photos---still figuring out the I-phone...Here is our little beauty, Talya on her baptism day...wearing the same little jumpsuit that her momma, her aunts, many of her cousins, and her sister wore.

 Little quilts are FUN..This one is only 11" X 11" - tiny little pieces...

 Let's Play Music Recitals----Haylee has completed one year...
 Haylee playing the bells --(This is so cute - love the technique...)
Ellie on the keyboard with the other students in her class.

 Ellie playing the song she composed..called Chetahas - because they are her favorite animal.  Excellent!  Ellie played what she liked for the teacher, they recorded her playing, then Miss Melanie wrote it out for her.  They worked on it and made the changes they liked, add to the song,  experimented with different tunes and then finally come up with the final composition.  Their teacher had a book printed of all the students original songs - it really is a wonderful program!

Receiving her certificate of completion for three years!  She will now go on to private piano lessons....

 And the trophy!
 This is the toughest way to do push-ups....WOW!

We are so in hopes that "spring has sprung" - but, we aren't holding our breath either.  See that little shadow behind the hind legs....I think that is the first baby lamb....YEA!!
 A few garden plants - Grandpa planted the potatoes, onions, and spinach.  Makes my mouth water thinking about it....
 And, these beauties have bloomed - and - they smell so good!

 Yep, Grandpa still has the touch - both of them are taking a little snooze...
 Mylee Muffin is 10!  I can't believe it!  She does take after her Grandma with chocolate ice cream with chocolate cake and chocolate frosting...(I swiped this photo from Mike on Path...thanks!)
 And, I also swiped this photo from Carrie on Path (thanks..)  From their trip to Temple Square.
Ellie, Reese, Mylee, Haylee and Cam.  Aunt Carrie was on "kid duty" while Nat and Jared were in the Temple for "Unkie Dees" wedding.  I told Carrie - "flowers and the grandkid---how could I ask for anything more!!

And the most "popular" little star is now one month old!  Can't believe it.  What a little Sweetheart!  This little doll is so loved by so many - Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, Sisters, Mom and Dad! (and I totally swiped this photo from Nat on Path - Thanks to all)
