God Be With You Til We Meet Again Dear Cousin

Grandpa Jay Graff's Funeral

Lylee, Chris, Grandma Cathy and Taylor

Cassie and Lylee

Uncle Jacky and Chris

Uncle Jared and Chris

(Grandpa Jay liked Christopher so much that he decided he needed one more baby, so we have Uncle Jared!)

Taylor, Grandma Annie, Chris and Lylee

Taylor looking down the whole that they put the coffin into. He's very concerned about Grandpa Jay being down there.

Apparently, Grandpa Jay was concerned too. He's in the middle of the field all by himself because he didn't want to be near any trees and those stinkin' squirrels! (Yes, this is completely true! He was a character!)

Chris and Grandma Annie

Saying Goodbye

Lylee and Aunt Ashley

Grandma Cathy wanted to play some of her dad's favorite hymns and she loved being surrounded by her grandkids.

It was a beautiful day, a beautiful service and a wonderful send off to a man that was loved and respected by so many people.

Tildy diggin' in!

Taylor, Lexi and Adam

We were lucky enough to be here for Lexi's 7th birthday. Taylor and Lexi are like two peas in a pod. We can't separate them once we get them together.

Lylee and Maddie rockin' the swing.

It's so fun to get all the kids together. I forgot to get any pics at Chelsey's yesterday. We'll all be together for the weekend though. We're so blessed that everyone is able to go out for Grandpa Jay's funeral. What a send off he's going to get!

Dinosaur Park

We finally made it to the dinosaur park.

Little Monkeys

Lazy Bones

The kids had a lot of fun, even thought Lylee was pretty terrified of most the dinosaurs. It was a good chance to get outside and stretch and play!

Taylor Wanted to Go in and Make a Touchdown

This is as close as we could get because they were setting up for a track meet.

Taylor LOVED the Wildcat Ambulance

My Old House (It used to be cuter!)

Good bye Grandpa Jay

We love you!

Look at us!

Now
12 years ago today. Looking forward to lucky number 13!

Happy Easter 2010

Lylee keeps saying "How'd he do that?" Wondering how the Easter Bunny got in our house and how he knew what she likes! It's so fun to see the wonder in her eyes!

The Easter Bunny didn't come until after dinner at Grandpa's because Daddy worked this morning. When we asked the kids if they thought the Easter Bunny had come while we were gone, Lylee said, "No, I think he forgot about us." That was so sad. I'm happy she is so thrilled now!

Taylor couldn't decide whether to break out his movie or the Play doh. He's also at the age where he had to make sure that everything is even between him and Lylee.

We have a neighborhood Easter Bunny who leaves eggs on the lawn. The kids were thrilled with the goodies inside. Luckily we got out there before the rain came down.

There's a family in my parents' ward that has a huge egg hunt and lunch every year. They kick it off with skydivers!

My babies. I'm so glad they love each other. This has been a great Easter week and Spring Break!

Grandma Vicki and Grandpa Bob

We had Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's today, complete with an egg hunt! We had it early since Grandma's going to Uncle Blake's to help out with our new baby niece that's coming on Saturday!

Stories

Taylor couldn't go to sleep so I crawled in bed with him and told him about his Great Grandpa Lyle, who Lylee is named after. I told him about how I believe that he and Lylee were in Heaven with him before they came here to me. That Taylor had his blue eyes. I told him that his great grandpa was in the navy and World War II. That they gave him cigarettes and that the reason that he died before Taylor was born was because he had smoked cigarettes when he was younger and they ruined his lungs. (Taylor has been wondering about cigarettes lately). I told him how his great grandpa sold cars and that he even had a boat that was orange and white. I told him how much he would have loved him and spoiled him and that I miss him very much. Taylor loved hearing all of these things and I loved sharing them with my beautiful son.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

We love you so much! You are the best daddy ever and we hope that you have a terrific day!

Love,

Mommy, Taylor & Lylee

Happy Birthday Princess Lylee

Lylee is so happy to be 3!

Lylee has convinced us all that she truly is Princess Lylee

Chris and Hyrum

Fun and games. We played "put Cinderella in the window". All of the kids were scared to be blindfolded, it was pretty funny.

Princess Pinata

Dig in Kids!

MMMMMMM...

This is Leland, one of the two boys that Lylee tells me she's going to marry. At least we like his parents, his daddy works for UP too!

Cooper helping Lylee open a present

Yay presents! Lylee was so excited to have a special day just for her. The presents just made it better. It was so fun to watch my "big girl" come into her own.
