Welcome Lexi!

We are pleased to announce that Alexis Paige Bartle, our ninth grandchild, arrived at 2:49 pm on Saturday, May 16, 2009. She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 21 inches long. Her proud parents, Heidi and Garry Bartle, are delighted to add Lexi to their family of three sons. Mom and daughter are doing just fine, and Granny is thrilled to be spending the week with them in Colorado Springs.

Happy Birthday Amy!

This afternoon, we celebrated Amy Redd's birthday at our Sunday dinner - several days late, but fun just the same! The kids love to celebrate birthdays, whether by themselves or helping Amy!

What joy it is to have Amy visit! We are really grateful for the time she spends with us.

Blessed Olivia!

Today we had the wonderful opportunity to participate in Olivia's blessing. She was given a name and a sweet blessing by her father at our ward fast and testimony meeting. What a powerful spirit attended that tender ordinance! We are so grateful for the love we share and the sealing power that binds us together eternally.

Chloe and her dad share a tender moment ...

Happy Easter - A Few Weeks Late

I'm catching up on a few family photos.  The week before Easter, we had an Easter Egg hunt in our back yard.  Devlin, Eve and Chloe had a great time searching for the eggs, treats and other surprises. We had a great time watching them run around the yard in pure, unadulterated joy!
