A Visit with our college girls

Malerie, her kids, Bailee and I went to Logan to hang out with Aubrey,Megan and Marissa. We had fun spending the day walking their very tiny mall, making cookies for them and just talking. We miss Aub!!!! Thanks for letting us come up. We Love you!!!!!

Hadlee had fun jumping off the furniture and running around crazy!

Hadlee has a new best friend, Marissa, not sure if Marissa was ready

for her new little shadow, but she got one anyway!!

Girls Day Out!!

Linda, Kenzie, Emily, Mal and I went to Gardner Village with some of the older kids. It was fun to walk around the shops and hang out. We had a nice lunch and enjoyed watching the girls be silly. A bunch of cute girls we found in a tree.

Our New Grandson!

Little Gavin Lee Price was born today. I was given the privalge of being in the room as this little miracle came into this world. What a joy! Malerie worked so hard and did such a good job. He was 7lbs.6 oz. and so very cute!

Proud pop pop holding his first little boy!

The Price family. Hadlee seeing Gavin for the very first time. The first thing she said was "Oh it my baby brother, can I pet him?"

resting after the long ordeal, and a nearly full bottle of milk.

Gavin not sure what just happened,but seems to be calm.

Fianally we had good enough weather to put in our new pool liner. We can't wait till we can swim! Hadlee wasn't okay just watching outside the pool, she had to get in and help, (if thats what you want to call it).

She was contantly picking up the hose to squirt the girls. HERE I COME!

Hadlee was trying to copy everything that Rachael & Aubrey were doing. I don't know how they can stand being in the water, IT IS SOOO COLD!!!!

Taking a break while the water filled enough to pull the sides tight.

Paul and Bailee went to our families favorite place,Yellowstone. The rest of the family had things going on, so no one eles went. They stayed at Towers. They saw lots of big horned sheep, bears and of course bison.

Here is a paw print of a bear that had gone through the camp area.

Paul and Bailee relaxing by the fire.

Resting and enjoying a majestic view during one of their hikes.

GRADUATION DAY!!!

Aubrey is officially out of High School!! We are very pleased with her success! Way to go Aubrey!!! Hadlee watched everyone as they put their hands on their heart during the flag ceremony at Aubrey's graduation. She just followed along. She obviously felt the reverence.

HOLIDAY TRADITIONS!!

This has been a very fun and busy month. Paul and us girls went in search for a Christmas tree to cut down. It wasn't very cold and not as much snow as we thought, so it make for an easier trip.

Malerie, Aubrey, and Bailee set out to make the traditional home dipped chocolates. Thanks to Grandma Taylor they have made this an anual event. This year Rachael was involved with her finals so she wasn't able to help with the dipping but did have some time to help make and roll the fondant.

Then there is the Christmas Eve gingerbread house making. Emily,Bret and girls come over and decorate the houses, we usually have a voting of the best but this year we decided that all were wonderful. It is always a fun time!!
