Tim just graduated from U of U last Friday with his Masters!!! The last graduation we went to was Haley's graduation from High school. We realized we couldn't see another because they become so boring after our child has walked across the stage. And all the people who talk are just blah, blah, blah. But that doesn't mean we are not sooo proud of our children who do graduate and especially with their Masters. We have watched this darling little pudgy boy from the time he was born to his 27th year. He has never done anything to hurt or embarrass his family but has only made us feel proud. He has been strong in his beliefs, solid and firm, a well-spring of integrity. Bumpa and I are so very proud of him. He made us proud when he married Hope, whom, I think, has been such a great addition to his life. Kudos to you, Tim, for all your work, your enduring to the end, your endless nights of study and etc. I know you have still so much you want to do. As you and Hope travel along your own path may you be blessed with wisdom and a desire to help others along your way. May you spend yourselves in a worthy cause, and may you always be cheerful and faithful for this will give you courage, and cheerfulness and faithfulness are tools which the adversary cannot overcome. We love you, Nana and Bumpa
We had a wonderful day with Lola Bee on the day of her blessing. Here she is with her Nana. Amazingly, I found out that Gil's grandmother was called "Lola." So our little baby carries the name of both her Nana and her great grandmother.
The big day begins with a bath in the sink. Look at that belly!!!
This is what a 2 month, 12 lbs baby looks like. She has gained 5 1/2 pounds and grown 3 inches since her birth. She's going to surpass her brothers in no time.
All dressed up and ready to go. Tia ("Auntie" in spanish) Linda is holding Lola while she smiles at her Momma. This was my dress when I was blessed. Nana kept it all this time. Julie added some little pink bows and flowers to spruce it up. So adorable.
I have 3 kids now. I still can't believe it!
Lola and Mommy
We have a full house. So glad they could make it.
There are TWO babies in this picture.
Beautiful picture of Nana and Bumpa. I think you should frame this one, Mom.
Quinn has a great smile. So handsome. Julie cut my hair so I could be pretty too!
I like the crossed-leg look.
Bumpa blessed Lola with musical ability. 
Outfit #2. I am having fun with the bows.
Gil, Linda, and Lola.
New parents with very little sleep. I think we look pretty good.
Thank you, Nana, for taking our family picture. It was a wonderful day. Very happy memories. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Hooray! I'm TWO years old!
This is my party at the park with all my playdate friends. We go to the park every Friday together.
I love playing with my sister, Lola Bee.
She is ready for a nap!
This is my big brother Tanner. He is always fun to play with.
I get to eat cake??? What a treat!
Mmmmmm . . . . Frosting!
We are having our baby blessing this coming Sunday 4/10. You are welcome to come to our ward for the blessing. We will also be serving dinner for all family members after church. Just please tell me who is coming so I can prepare enough food! Gil's family from Chicago will also be visiting, including his Mom, sister Linda, cousin Sylvia, and 2 other cousins from LA. We hope you can join us.
It's that time of the year! Join the madness and make your picks:
