MY BABY IS THIRTY EIGHT!

SHANNON WITH ALLIE'S FRIEND (AURI...SHE GRADUATED THIS YR) BUT SHE STILL HANGS OUT WITH THE BRIDGES.  THIS WAS ON THE NIGHT OF ALLIE'S DATE TO HOMECOMING.  FUN TIMES!

A COUPLE OF YRS. AGO WHEN WE WERE AT A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND SHANNON RAN INTO HER HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND AND TEAM MATE...ANGIE EYRE GRIFFITHS.  THEY HADN'T SEEN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS!

SHANNON TAKING THE GIRLS FOR MANICURES FOR JANESSA'S BIRTHDAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO (IN PROVO).

CUTTING THE CAKE TO SEE IF KARLIE WAS GOING TO BE A BOY OR GIRL....SUCH FUN!

SOFTBALL GAMES WHEN SHE WAS JUST STARTING HER PREGNANCY WITH MADELYN.

MYSTERY DINNER DRESS UP WHEN THEY USED TO HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES....THAT ENDED LONG AGO!
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY THAT THEY ARE DRESSED UP LIKE THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INTO RODEO AT ALL!  THEY DID HAVE A GOOD TIME.  IT WAS WHEN AMBERLY WAS ALIVE AND THE OSMONDS STILL LIVED IN EPHRAIM.  SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME AGO.

LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES. WHEN I HAD SHANNON I WAS SO EXCITED THAT I HAD A LITTLE GIRL THAT WOULD LOVE TO GO SHOPPING WITH ME. WELL, SHE REALLY DOESN'T LOVE TO SHOP, BUT I GOT A DAUGHTER THAT HAS HAD MY BACK, HELPED ME MORE THAN I HAVE EVER HELPED HER, SHARED HER LIFE WITH ME,AND BEEN MY CONFIDANT,  FROM THE TIME SHE WAS LITTLE SHE SHARED HER LIFE WITH ME IN A WAY THAT I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE BLESSED.  AS I WATCH HER TALK WITH HER OWN CHILDREN, I SEE THOSE SAME BONDS BEING FORMED AND IT BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.  AS I SEE HER TEACH HER CHILDREN TO OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS AND SHARE HER TESTIMONY I CAN'T EXPRESS THE HAPPINESS I  FEEL .. IN THE YEARBOOK WHEN SHANNON WAS A SR., I EXPRESSED HOW THANKFUL I WAS FOR HER INTEGRITY.  I STILL FEEL THAT WAY.  I HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEK IS WONDERFUL AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU!!!
