ABIGAIL, HYRUM, AND SPENCER......

WERE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING HER ARRIVAL!  She is our only grandchild that was born in St. George....it was great to have them so close.

I zipped right down there,,,asking Shad if he would tell the Stake Relief Society Pres. that I would be gone and not there for the blood drive....he promptly forgot to pass that word along.

She quickly grew into a girly princess....that loves purple and pink!   She loves the things that I loved as a little girl, so it is very easy for me to relate to her!  I always tell her she is a little Mini-Me....and she is nice enough to take that as a compliment.  She is just so bubbly and KIND!

She loves dresses, and you rarely see her in pants....on that we probably are different!  I do wish that I loved dresses as much as she does!

Look at that SMILE.....PURE JOY IN WELCOMING TANNER HOME.   SHE IS SO GOOD TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THE "LITTLE PEOPLE" IN HER FAMILY!

HER CURLY HAIR MATCHES HER BUBBLY PERSONALITY.  I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE AND WANT TO MAKE TIME GO BACK SO I CAN SQUEEZE HER.....HOWEVER....SHE IS SO GOOD ABOUT GIVING HUGS AND CUDDLING TO ME!  OF COURSE....THAT IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO MOST WITH HER!

SHE IS DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL.  SHE LOVES SOCIALIZING WITH HER CLASSMATES AND IS CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS LEFT OUT.  SHE IS A GOOD STUDENT AND LOVED BY EVERYONE!

This is the picture that I caught on facetime when she first saw Elise.  You can see how happy she is.  She was just that excited when Ellie was born, and they all play so well together.  When I look at her, it is like I can see into that sweet and tender heart.  She really loved Disneyland....I think her favorite thing was Toontown and meeting the Princesses.  She really loved that, and I really loved watching her.We are getting very excited to be able to go to Omaha for her baptism and also to watch her in her dance class.  She works very hard, but it comes naturally to her and she really loves dancing.  .She is really ready to be baptized.  She is faithful in her family scripture study, and can answer any gospel question that you throw at her.  She is so sincere in her answers!  When we were in her ward last time I taught her Primary Class and she was an angel! She naturally has a temperament that is very Christlike.  She likes everyone to get along with each other.  I don't think I have ever seen her be the source of contention.  What a princess!  We love you FOREVER AND EVER ALEXIS ELLA, AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU IN OUR FAMILY......SEE YOU SOON!
