The Past Year

Best Friends


Today my neighbor Brittney took her son Bradley and my Ella to the treehouse museum and they had a ton of fun. It is finally nice enough outside so she got a cute picture of them together on the rocks out front. They are six months apart and Best Friends. They play almost everyday. He loves trains and she loves dolls.

I LOVE YOU


Just a couple hours after her temper tantrum today she wanted me to take her picture and tell me how much she loves me. She just learned how to do this sign and thinks she is really cool.

I'm Hiding


Ella had a temper tantrum today AGAIN. One of several daily tantrums that I now get to experience. She asked me if she could play with another set of toys and I asked her to clean up her mess first. She didn't like me telling her that so she went and hid where I couldn't see her and she couldn't see me.

Piano Teacher


This is Jacob with a picture of Katelin's Piano teacher. Her name is Shayna and she is almost 16 yo. She is the best! She also just happens to be our neighbor and live right across the street. We love her and Jacob can't wait to start piano next year when he turns eight.

How'd I Do?


As soon as she was done playing she turned around to see everyone's reaction and then got up and went to her seat. This is her getting up and she looked very pleased with herself.

Dance of the Butterfly


She played Dance of the Butterfly and she had it memorized but she still read the music anyway. It was beautiful.

Piano Recital


Katelin had her piano recital last week and did very well.

Handyman "NOT" For Sale


This is my great handyman that I love so much. He put knobs and pulls on all my kitchen cupboards for me. He is so awesome. I really appreciate all he does for us.

Visit to Portage



The day after Easter we took off with John to head towards Idaho for a short trip and stopped in Portage, Utah. That is where his dad was born and now where he is buried. So we went to go see his grave and tell our children alot of the old stories about Grandpa McCrary.
