Happy birthday Mom...This is a picture from last summer. ..She's with the younger Hannah in her life.

Happy birthday to my beautiful brown eyed daughter you've brought ?? Years of joy.   (3rd anniversary of 29th b-day...hahaha)

TRIP TO OKC.....continued
(I went to watch the Taylor Tots while Mom and Dad vacated in Chicago.)
 

Viv and Milo found a mud puddle......on a day the temperature was about

40 degrees...............

no brain......................no pain.................

Oh, wait............pain..................

hurt...................help

When the parents were gone, it was up to the Mims

to get them to soccer.....

It was like "flashback"

Viv is almost 4.  She has a pair of yellow stretchy shorts (above)

that are size 24month......she loves to wear them to play

soccer..........it's like 10 pounds of sausage in a 5 pound casing.

but so much cuter on her "tasty cakes"

She compensates by wearing a huge jersey!

 After soccer and a trip to the mall to see The Croods,

(that's the 2nd time for me)

We went to Braums....the local Ice Cream Joint.

Ice storm

I drove thru my first ice storm in Utah a couple of months ago.  Here in OKC it rained all night....now some freezing rain....here it is on the trees......nice....it was warm enough to have the tulips, under the same tree, bloom......now....now icy rain.  It's really cold here. ...I'm usually hot...now I'm cold.....arggg

I'm in OKC watching the Taylor tots.....mom & dad are in the windy city (coming from the windy state they won't even notice) These peeps have been perfectly awesome.

Long Easter Weekend...

CenturyLink has Good Friday as a paid holiday for it's employeers.  Boyd and I decided to take the Lloyd Bros. to "The Croods" It was hysterical.  The Baby, in the movie is a wild child, named Sandy.  She growls.....like our Sophie.

This is Sophie giving me the "stink eye"  The best part of being 18 months old is having two little pony tails on either side of your head....

and a root beer belly.

Mr. Alexander had his 5th birthday party...

On Easter Sunday, Harmony brought her Friend and his (3) girls.  This is the youngest, she is so, so, darling......................I call her Sweet Sauce, Harmony calls her P-Nut.

She's kind of a poser ................so cute.

 We had 168 plastic eggs filled with candy and $$

I think is was over-kill.

Mr. Alex is THE BEST share-er............

This is the oldest, she is 8, and she wanted me to take a picture

of her with this yellow egg......not sure why.

Here's my littlest "Sweet Sauce"  Miss Soph-a-Licious.....

I'm loving this girls hair, and of course she wants straight hair,

why can't we embrace what we have and be satisfied?

 

One more Easter on the Books................

We did have a game that had the kids

answer questions aoubt Jesus and the

reason we celebrate Easter.

 

He is Risen.

She's Gone

Alice has left the driveway.
I wanted to take a picture as she was being driven down the street, but she left under the cloak of darkness..........she didn't even look back.....*sniff-sniff*

I posted her on KSL.COM classifieds......within 15 minutes I had a taker.   We had a birthday party to attend.  When we returned there were messages on the the phone, so many peeps wanted my Alice.  I started to think to myself: "self, hummmm, maybe you should have asked for more money!"

At 9:30 last night she was driving down Raintree with her new owners.....Miguel Para.....you are a lucky guy to be getting my Alice........may she drive long and bring joy!

Alice....live long and prosper!
