Twenty Seven years ago today, I recieved an early birthday gift.  The finest birthday gift ever.  Pierce now understands what a perfect early birthday gift a baby can be.  I love this photo of him holding his daughter born just 9 days before his birthday.  Pierce was our fourth little baby and third little boy that  joined our family.  What a wonderful day that was. I'm so glad we have Pierce in our family.  Happy Birthday PJ!  We love you the mostest! Turning 27 on the 27th makes this your GOLDEN Birthday.  Have a very HaPpY DaY!

Happy Birthday Adelaide Elizabeth

Our tiny little sweetheart

I have been out of town for almost 3 weeks and have just figured out how to update our blog on my mom's computer.  Pierce and Stacy gave birth to a beautiful little tiny girl last Tuesday.  She is the nicest and tiniest little bundle of joy I have ever held.  Oh how we love our brand new little Laidie! We were blessed to spend 8 hours with her on Saturday on our lay over from Sacramento to Salt Lake.  Best 8 hours ever!   She is small but she is mighty and doing well. She will stay in the hospital until she grows a bit more then will be welcomed HOME! Congratulations PJ and Stacy!!!!

Happy Birthday Harper Grace!

Harper Grace at 2 hours old, what a little beauty!

Our Mansfield Thiots

Today is little Miss Harper's First Birthday. I can't believe how quickly her first year has gone.  She is such a sweet little tiny girl and is learning so many things from watching her wonderful big sisters.  She would like to be a walking girl, and has taken up to 7 steps on her own.  It won't be long and she will be running to keep up with Brooklyn and Addison.  Oh how I love those little ladies.  We are excited to be going to her birthday party tonight.  Happy birthday Harper Grace!!!!

Friday night was the big night for Jake, oops  I mean Dr. Jacob S. Grange.  It's official, he is a Med School graduate.  He has worked so hard these past four years and has  done Great!  We are sure proud of him.  It's been so fun to have his parents here this weekend.  Jake's dad will leave with Jake in the morning and will drive to Virginia with him, oops, will follow Jake to Virginia in their Honda Car.  Jake will be driving a sweet orange and blue Budget Moving Truck.  It is loaded perfectly by a very good tetras player.  Every thing they were hoping to take was able to fit in.  Well done moving men.  They were blessed by having two awesome elders come and help them this morning and it was done in a jiffy.  Jake is a planner and had everything planned down to the minute and things are going according to plans.  Maxwell has his two month check up this morning.  I can hardly wait to see how he has grown. Tatia and Maxwell get to fly to Virginia on Thursday early bird style, their flight leaves at 5:45 AM.  YIKES!  Dick, Penny and I leave on Saturday morning.  We have been threatening to keep Miss Penny, but I guess we will take her to her new home.  What a week!

Our Carmichael Thiots
I had  a catch up visit with Charlie on his way to work this morning.  He told me that Keelie is really enjoying the swim team and that Callum has started taking swim lessons and is doing good too.  Charlie injured his foot running a few months ago so he's been using the pool to exercise in place of running lately and is enjoying it.  Charlie spent a summer on the swim team in Plano and is glad Keelie likes it better than he did.  Mackenzie had a quick trip to Salt Lake with her  mom to go with her sister Kelzie to shop for wedding dresses.  What fun!!!! Kelzie's wedding will be in Sacramento in July!  Exciting Times.

Stacy had her weekly now Doctor visit and was asked if she would mind if they move the due date up four weeks.  It's seeming real that this new little baby girl is coming and soon. The doctor told her to go home and pack her bags and get things ready, as their little lady would not be far away from arriving.  I can hardly believe our 8th little grandchild is coming so soon.  This is truly a WONDERFUL season of my life.  I love meeting all these little children of my children.  Take it easy Stacy!  Pierce and Dick had such a good time last week in Chicago.  They packed a LOT of fun into the 20 hours they spent together.  Memories to last forever.  Thanks Pierce for inviting your dad.  He LOVED it!

Jurassic Park has finally arrived at our Dollar Theater.  Every night when Kara comes home from work, Skyler begs her to go with him to see it.  She has not been willing yet . Can you believe it's been 20 years since that movie came out the first time.  Sky has great memories of going with his Gram to see it.  I hope Kara will change her mind and go with him.  I think she might be surprised and like being scared by those big dinosaurs.  Sky had two clients come in for presentations today.  He said that makes for a stressful and exhausting day.  I'm so glad he is enjoying his job and that he is so good at it.  go Sky!

Pierce and Dick living their dream!

Sunday was a lovely lovely day.  Maxwell James Grange was given his name and blessing in our Sacrament Meeting at church.  I loved being there and hearing the sweet blessing that Jake prounced upon him.  He is such a sweet little baby.  It's been such a blessing for me to have him spent his first two months of his life living right upstairs from me.  I've had a bit of a hard weekend, having Jake's parnets here this weekend, having to take turns holding him.  Jakes dad and mom are both crazy about that little mister and want to hold him a LOT.  Actually, I am glad to share and love watching them with him and Miss Penny. Thanks to Skype, Penny knows them and loves them and has enjoyed every minute with them.  I love that. 
My stitches came out last Friday and I can tell what a good doctors took care of me.  It's still numb but doesn't look to aweful.  I'm grateful. 
The month of June is going to be an on the road month.  As I mentioned above, Dick, Penny and I leave on Saturday morning for Charlottesville Virginia.  Dick returns home the following Wednesday and I will head to Sacramento the following Saturday.  I get to tend Charlie's kidos while Kenzie is at Girls Camp and Charlie is various other places.  Then Dick arrives on Wednesday to meet with a new customer there and flies to Salt Lake with me on Saturday where he will work until Wednesday and I get to stay until Saturday.  Oh my goodness, what an exciting month this will be.  I'll be back on the 29th of June, Miss Addie Mae's 4th Birthday.  Ricky's girls are heading to California for a month on the 24th.  What fun times.  Have a great week ya'll!  SLY Robynn
