Grandma's Attic

        A few weeks ago Dee's niece,  Lisa Givens Holland and her husband stopped by after dropping a daughter off at BYU-I.  It was really fun to see them,  been a lot of years.

                               
                                                                         
                                                                          Karen dropped by and we got a shot of them together.
                                                                                     Karen looks like she just woke up  (she did)

 
             WEDDING  AHEAD     Krista Rudd  and  John Muir
                                                                     December 19th, 2014    Reno  temple

     John served a mission in Russia,    both now in school in Provo

                   This will double the size of their family.  Lots easier than having more babies, right?

                                                              CONGRATULATIONS

                               For the past few months
Nurse Kelsey came over to give Dee his testosterone shot every month.  What a lovely nurse.   But now they have moved to Boise,   so Jackie does it.  (no photo here)

SURPRISE!     after almost a year off,   I am finally back on my blog.  So it will be catch up time for 8 new babies we added to the family this year. But first....... 

                          I love this shot of SAGE....anticipation

Sarah and Jeff (Karen's daughter) had the last baby of the summer .  He was a bit overdue, came in at over 10 lbs. in Arizona.  Here he is 3 days old

                       One month later,  surprised with the new world

One day before Torsten got here,   Scott and Traci had baby # 3  a little boy named Andrew Mark Fuller.  They live in Dallas Texas.  Looking for ward to meeting him at Thanksgiving time.

                                         He joined brother Enoch and sister Natalie,  who were delighted


On her daddy's birthday,  June 27th,  along came Elaine and Curt's first grand-child, little MAE AMARA BRINGHURST, Nicole and Braydon's little girls.

She was born in Provo,  then spent the summer in Bakersfield where Braydon worked.  We still haven't met her either. and already 4 months old

Jake and Jana  had Afton  in Provo also and we got to see her on the 4th of July  She was a tiny little thing,  but like all babies,  is getting bigger
 
               Her sisters Riley and Sage love being big sisters
 
 
                               ANDROMEDA CORPUS (ANNIE)
                          Strange,  I can't find any more photos of her.
 
 
 Courtney added # 4     IRIEL  and we got to be there for the blessing.   Finally had one born in Idaho Falls so we could meet her.

This is the next new baby listed below,   Skylee and Mom Brooke,  about a year old now. She is walking and trying to talk and a delight to the whole family.

Brooke and oldest daughter Kaydra.  She is in (I think) 8th grade,  and came to borrow my violin to play in the school orchestra.  It has made the rounds to several of the younger generation. President Kimball used to say we all have music inside,  and .....'don't die without letting your music out"...Also true of old violins,  I'm sure it is very happy to be singing again.  I played back in Jr. High and High school, 1947ish to 1951.

October 17th.....correction below.   Joe and Meagan's son is named ROWAN BRADLEY HILL.     Mental block there.

 A few weeks ago,  Pearl and Emma dropped in with three friends from BYU Provo.
Short but fun visit   They all went to school together in California

One year ago,  when I last posted here,  we had this baby in the NICU all hooked up to tubes.    What a change now.  This is Joe and Meagan Hills son Weston.   How cute is this?   Sorry to say,  they moved to Arkansas...too far.

This year we had three graduations from college.   Jason Aldridge from BYU-Provo  with a CPA  degree,   headed off for Redding CA. to a job.  Lucky guy.   Then Kelsey Rudd Sibbert and hubby Troy both got their nursing degrees from BYU-I   Congratulations to all.
