14 February 2014 Katie's Birthday

Grandma and Grandpa are so proud of our oldest granddaughter.  Grandma had a dream last night that Katie's Seminary teacher shared a quote about the character and qualities of one of the prophets (she can't remember which one...) and said this could have been written about Katie!  Whoever it was...we quite agree!  Happy Birthday Sweet 16!  We love you!  (Make sure you RUN AWAY from any boys, now that you are 16!)

Here's something special written by her mom, Tessa.

Our little baby is now 16.  She is learning to drive and getting better.  She is bubbly and happy and a joy to be around.  She likes to design clothing and still likes acting.  She is enjoying having a sister her same age around.  She loves her "bother's", even though they could be a little nicer to her.  She loves clothes and usually changes her outfit 2 to 3 times a day, same as when she was three. She loves to do hair, and is always getting complimented on hers. Most importantly she has a strong testimony of the Savior and her Heavenly Father that she shares often.  We love Katie so much and are so happy to have her in our family.

20 January 2014 Nicole's Birthday

Wow!  What a sweet and beautiful girl you are.  We love your Mickey hat!  And Grandpa and Grandma can't wait to squeeze you!  Soon!  Happy Birthday to you!  Here's some fun facts about Nicole from her Mom, LeAnn.

It is hard to believe that Nicole is turning 11.  She is growing up way too fast.  This year has been a year of change for Nicole.  She tested and was accepting into the Accelerated Learning Lab and now attends school at Hidden Hollow with her dad and sister.  She loves seeing her dad, sister, cousins and some of our friends that moved into the Ranches at school.  She won her class spelling bee and will be competing in the school spelling bee on January 24th.  

Nicole started piano about 2 years ago and has passed up where I got to when I took piano.  She is finally starting to enjoy practicing and gave herself the challenge to finish the level 3 books before Christmas, which she did.  (She made her teacher do a lesson on Christmas Eve morning to help her accomplish  this.)  We are so proud of her for accomplishing that goal.

She usually has a book in her hand and is rarely reading one book at a time (I wonder where she gets that from).  She has also found that if she brings a flashlight to bed with her she can read under the covers so no one knows.  She enjoys playing games with her family and on the Ipad.  She loves the color purple and is excited to get her own room in the next week or so, all done in purple, of course.  Her favorite food is Hawaiian haystacks. 

3 January 2014 Zac's Birthday

Zac Fisher, BYU fan extraordinaire and 7 years old today!  Wow, Zac, you're growing up way too fast! Grandpa and Grandma miss your giggles.  Can't wait to come home and tickle that "giggling lump" again. Don't get too big for that, OK?!!  We love you.  Happy Birthday!

A few words from Missy about Zac.

Zac is excited about a pirate birthday party!  He enjoys school as well. He is in first grade and likes staying all day at school.  He loves lunch and recess. His teacher is on bed rest so he's had a few substitutes and is seeming to handle the constant changing very well.

Zac likes playing the wii, he likes legos and he likes super heros. He sometimes likes to get on his cape and mask and goes around fighting the bad guys and rescuing his younger siblings and mom and dad. :)

Zac likes to make people laugh and when he laughs, he giggles and he has the best laugh around.

Zac is a good big brother and tries to help occupy Brigham when mom needs to make dinner. He is a good eater, cleaner and helper.  He is currently the only one of the siblings to eat meat, pasta, rice, and tacos.  His mom loves it!

 

We love you Zac and hope you have an awesome birthday!!
