Happy 15th Birthday Meagan!



I am a day late, sorry Megs, but Happy 15th! We had an awesome day yesterday. For a Sunday birthday, I think Meagan had a great day. She asked that we let her sleep in, instead of the usual get up as early as possible and open presents, which is our family's tradition. So after a breakfast brunch around 10:30, she opened her gifts and then we goofed around and went to church at 1:30. We than had a wonderful dinner and we had family and friends come over for cake and ice cream. We all shared something about Meagan that we loved, and unanimously everyone loved Meagan's contagious smile and peace-making abilities!
My memories of her birth were wonderful. Although the delivery was a bit flawed,(my cervix ripped! Ouch !!) She came out smiling and hasn't quit since. She would make us laugh so hard as a toddler and she had the cutest high-pitched voice. Once she learned to talk, she never stopped either. She loved playing house and babies. She loved to re-tell the stories we would read to her. She still will tell me everything that happens in her day, (well almost everything!) She is a great friend and sister. It is evident by the numerous kids who either called, texted, or stopped by yesterday to wish her a happy birthday. We are so proud of the beautiful young woman you have become.  I love you so much Megs!  Love Mom!

Go Devils!

We had the opportunity to go to the ASU Scrimmage/Meet The Players Night.
Zack was in heaven the whole time and kept saying to me," I can't believe I am actually going to get to go down on the ASU field." (That is where they met the players after the game.) The boys met Keelan Johnson (former Mesa High Jackrabbit who now is a Sun Devil).  Steve was out of town, so all the kids and I went, with a few friends tagging along. We had a really fun time. Can't wait for the real season to start! Go Devils!!

August Happenings

Well, here goes another school year. Ashley is a Junior at Mesa High, Meagan is a Sophomore at Mesa High, Emily is an 8th Grader at Taylor Jr. High, Max is a 4th Grader and Zack is a 2nd Grader at Franklin Elementary


Our trip to Utah for the LDSBA Convention was a huge success. Our products were the hit of the show and will soon be for sale in bookstores all over the country and even one in England! We had a ton of fun, as you can see from the pictures, we met lots of neat people from all over the world, and enjoyed staying with the Wilson and McCleary families!  Thanks guys!
