Ashley lost her 1st Tooth!




Ashley has finally lost her first tooth. She is 7 years old and in the first grade. She was at gymnastics when her leo got caught on her tooth and it popped right out. Ryan took an x-ray on her mouth. He saw that her adult teeth are huge and her jaw bones have not grown yet to accommodate the new teeth. In other words it might be awhile before she loses another tooth.
We are very happy for you Ashley!!

Funny words from Emma!!


Emma always has something funny to say. I am going to try to post them so I won't forget-

1. Emma said " MOM, DO YOU KNOW WHY I FOLLOW THE PROPHET?-BECAUSE HE IS A GENIUS!"

2. Emma said this to Preston.

"DON'T WORRY PRESTON. IT'S NOT A GIANT. IT'S JUST DADDY!"

3. During Family Home Evening I showed a picture of President Monson.

Emma said-
"HE IS THAT FUNNY PROPHET WHO'S WIFE TOLD HIM NOT TO TOUCH THE MICROWAVE!"

Who said little children don't listen to conference?

The First Lemonade Stand of the Season!





What do girls do when it's warm outside? They have a lemonade stand. My girls and 4 other neighborhood girls set up the first lemonade stand of the season. They made a whooping $8.00 in less then an hour. Thanks to our neighborhoods who understands how important lemonades stands are to kids!!!

I love to see the Temple!



Here are some pictures of the girl at Temple Square on the day of Jordan & Crystal's wedding.

Crystal & Jordan's Wedding





Crystal & Jordan were married on April 12, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple. Jordan is the first grandchild in the Hillam family to get married. The whole day was wonderful from the sealing to the reception. It was great to visit with family - especially those who we haven't seen in awhile!

Preston is 4 months!!!


Our sweet easy going little boy, Preston is 4 months. He weighs 16 lbs & 25.75 inches. He is in the 75th % for boys. The other day he rolled over 3 times but now he won't even try. He can sit up for about 45 seconds then he tumbles over. He smiles all the time. Even when he is upset, if you smile at him, he will always smile back. We just love him so much!!!

Laurie singing a cute song to the kids. You can tell want a terrific Mom and kindergarten teacher she is. Congratulation on #3. We love you Laurie!!!!

Spring Break Part 1- The Andersons

I took all my kids to Utah for their spring break. We first went to my Laurie and Adam's home. We had a great time! Here are the pics:

Hanging around in our PJ's!



Castle Park!


Jump on it- a very fun place!

Spring Break Part 2- The Cordons

Next we went to Bonnie and Derek's. We had a wonderful time seeing them. We were even lucky enough to see Nolan! That evening we went to Heather's Ballet "The Goose Girl". She had two solos as a horse and several other group dances. She did an excellent job!! Emma was also very entertaining. Here is what she thought about it in her own words- "I can't see with all these people in front of me" and "I can't sleep because the music is giving me a headache". She was full of it that evening.

Spring Break Part 3- The Blockers

We spent the last two days of our trip at Rob and Raelene's house. We went rollerskating, climbing in "Pirate Cove" and jumping in the bounce house. The kids had a great time playing with each other. I wish I took more pictures!

A day on "BELLA" Grandpa's sailboat


More pictures from our trip to California. We spent a day on my Dad's Sailboat named "Bella". It was the first time going out on the boat. We had lots of fun with Mom, Dad, Lindsey, Jordan and Ella. We can't wait to go again. Thank You Grandpa!!!

American Girl Place


Here are some pictures from our California trip. Grandma took her granddaughters to The American Girl Place in Los Angeles. Of course all the moms, Ryan and Preston tagged along. We had lunch in the American Girl Cafe. Lauren had her doll Kristen's hair done. Ashley pick out a cute outfit for her doll Samantha. Emma decided that she wants the new 2008 doll named Mia. Well this was probably one of the cutest things I have ever done with my girls. There will have to be a second visit. Thank you Grandma!!!!
