The Grasshoppers Round the Bases Again

Yes, folks, there was an exciting game at the Holladay ball park tonight. The Grasshoppers were in town and boy, were they fun to watch.

May is Recital Time

We attended the Edwards Musical Review last Sunday and what a treat! Amanda played her entire violin repertoire with her mom as accompanist. Then Scott and Amanda played their piano recital pieces. Both played with skill and confidence. We are so proud. Notice how Scotty added his suit coat to his performance attire. He has quite the touch, (and not ONLY on the piano.) Ryan had extra incentive to sit quietly and listen due to the german chocolate cake waiting in the kitchen.

BIG WEEKEND IN OMAHA

Blessing Day for Tomiko Kate. Lots of family in Omaha this last weekend for the Creighton graduation, so Tomi also received her name and a father's blessing in Church on Sunday. Becca made the blessing dress and as you can readily see this dress is beautiful! All the details you would find in the baby boutiques. Beaded neckline, tiny ribbons and lace on the sleeves, satin lined. Who knew you could move to Omaha for three years and come back ready for Baby Project Runway. Welcome to your turn on earth Tomi!

Number 21!

Can you believe it? We have reached the milestone of 21 grandchildren. Meet our newest granddaughter Whitney Dana, born March 5th. She couldn't wait to get her so she pushed her way here three weeks early. Check out the photos of the newest member of the family with her adoring BIG brother.

Jackson's DragonFly Dog

Jackson finally got his fondest wish and received a dog for his 9th birthday. Did I say "dog"? Well, I am not sure if that is accurate given the length of the tongue on this creature. If it were a favorite in its diet, Malone Jake (first dog I ever met with a middle name) could certainly catch a few flies.

Seeing Jackson with his dog sure brings back memories of when his dad got his first dog. Ty could often be found snoozing cuddled up next to HIS dog, Jake. I know the reason Jackson wanted a dog so badly is due to all the cool "Jake the dog" stories. Hey Jackson, have fun with your dog. Someday, you'll be telling your kids "Malone" stories.
