Ranee's Birthday... Yesterday



37 years ago Grandma Ev flew through a blizzard for (in Grandma's words) "The Most Beautiful Baby On Earth"! When Dad went to pick her up at the airport Grandma's scarf flew away. Grandma reported the snow was 10 feet deep in spots.

Looking at this photo now I can see how Ranee's favorite color is Red. Doesn't she look absolutely adorable?

Mom claims Ranee was the best baby ever. We all know that's because mom sat Ranee in front of the TV. Hey, it worked! Kept Ranee quiet and (added bonus) Ranee is now the GO TO person whenever anyone needs random tv/movie trivia questions answered!

We LOVE YOU RANEE!

ps - we miss you grandma..... and mom...

O & Deep Fried Oreos



While in Vegas we all decided to take in a show. We saw O at Bellagio on Friday night. We've linked the trailer, if you'd like to see a bit of it. Click "Watch the Trailer". We had "wet" seats which meant we got sprinkled with water at times.

Reviews/favorite parts:

Debbie - a delightful feast for the eyes and then also absolutely spectacular.
Ranee - the Russian Swing is hands-down my favorite part!
Jon - the Wedding/Russian Swing
Tara - the Wedding/Russian Swing
Tyson - simply stunning.
Kendra - the clowns and the "aye, aye, aye" (said in a raspy voice) are my favorite part.
Collin - huge, stunning, crazy, lots going on. Fantastico!
Hunter - it was awesome and I love the part at the beginning where you don't know and then he flies up to the ceiling.


On Saturday we went down to Freemont Street to get some Deep Fried Oreos. Yum!

Kendra's Baptism

Today Kendra was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She looked beautiful and content. She was baptized by Elder Cook from New Hampshire. Tara and Jon were the pianist and chorister. Tara offered the opening prayer. Debbie spoke about the Holy Ghost and Tyson offered the closing prayer. Congratulations Kendra!
