We have another Birthday!!

Miss Mikayla turns 14 today. Is it possible?? She was the first grandchild for us and her other grandparents. We were all excited. (We have been excited for all 17 grandchildren!)

Miss Mikayla has always been a cutie and she has grown into a beautiful young woman.

Miss Mikayla is a good student, plays the piano, reads like crazy, plays volleyball, been in plays and musicals, is a great daughter and sister, and a wonderful granddaughter. Hope you have a fun birthday. Love, Grandma Mac

Sunflowers

Can you tell my sunflowers are about 10 ft. tall? The flowers are not very big, but the stems look like a small tree.

A repairman was here and he wanted to know what in the world we were growing. (There were no flowers then)

I know I am weird, but I have hung things to scare the birds away and then I plant sunflowers to give the birds something to do!!

Fun at Grandma Mac's House

Some of the grandchildren were here for their Spring Break. Miss Kate used to live near us, so she knows the ends and outs of Grandma Mac's playroom. She loves the scarves, hats, and all that jewelry.

Evidently she has taught Miss Ellie where to find the jewelry too.

Mr Read Alexander is 1

Mr Read Alexander was named after two of his great-grandparents. He had to come C -section and his mom was not sad to have him come early!! But, Grandma Mac was on her cruise to Hawaii and she had to wait a week or so to be able to meet Mr Read.

He was the best cuddle bug ever and Grandma Mac loved holding him. Since Mom couldn't pick up Miss Christina, she was a great cuddle bug too, especially after she woke up from her nap.

Her is Mr Read on the day of his big sister's baptism. What a happy boy!

It is great to have a daddy that is also a photographer. Daddy has taken some great pictures. Daddy was so excited when Mr Read was born. He wanted to take Mr Read to church to show him off to everyone, but Mom had to say not yet. (at least for a few weeks) Happy First Birthday Mr Read. We love you!!

Miss Jessica Jo is now 12

Her name is really isn't Jessica Jo but, Grandma Mac likes calling her that. She was the cutest baby. There were 5 generations in her mother's family when Jessica was born. That was amazing. I was happy to have another granddaughter.

It was exciting to be in Colorado for her baptism. She had lots of her family come to her baptism. We were grateful for her decision to be baptized.

Miss Jessica Jo loves to read and so does Grandma Mac. She is a good student and plays the piano and the violin. She is also a good volleyball player and she takes after her mom!!

Miss Jessica Jo how can you be 12 already? Where do the years go? You will love Young Womens and all of the activities they have. Keep doing well in school, listen to your parents, and remember to keep the commandments. Grandma and Papa love you very much and we know you are a special young woman.

Miss Cora is 4

If you can see pictures, it means our computer is finally fixed and I can post some pictures. Miss Cora is a beautiful blue-eyed blonde. Her birthday was May 19th. I was in Michigan watching her brothers when she was born.

Her Uncle David takes great pictures of this beautiful girl. She can be pretty funny and has a great laugh. She answers questions very seriously with a Yes (even if the answer should be no)

We love our Miss Cora and we wish her a Happy Birthday. Love, Grandma Mac and Papa Mac.
