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.

Sisters, Sisters,

Remember the old Rosemary Clooney song in the movie White Christmas? Well, this photo sent the lyrics floating through my mind.
Sisters, Sisters, There were never more devoted sisters.
These two recently dragged a tub full of toys from the toy room to the playset in the back yard--a total of about 2 city blocks :)  Mom looked out and saw toys strewn the full way. Outside play houses are the most fun ever. I challenge their mom to post a photo of them playing in the play house.

Speaking of Tiff, she just completed a Mini-Triathalon--Swim 1/2 mile, bike 14 miles and run a 5K. Aunt Kate ran it too. Wow! I am pretty proud of these two women. Let's see some posts of the big race!

IT MIGHT BE 49 DEGREES, BUT IN UTAH THAT MEANS SPRING

AND SPRING MEANS BASEBALL. And yet another grandson wearing the Yankee uniform.  Check out tonight's game.

Notice the gloves hanging out of the back pocket

IF ITS SPRING IN PHOENIX, ITS BASEBALL TIME

This guy always has one sport or another on his mind--whether it be basketball (his favorite), football, or baseball. He is a tough competitor no matter what the season or sport.

CONCENTRATING ON THE PITCH

POISED ON SECOND FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO STEAL


CRUISING FOR HOME!

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!

Doesn't everyone have a baseball story this time of year? And when you have a new camera to experiment with, it doubles the fun. The only thing missing is the cracker jacks!

In the hole.

These photos are all taken through the fence as you can see.
For some odd reason, they won't give me a press pass

Wanna see some cute photos?

Spent some time with my baby and her baby recently. Helped in the resettlement process. Luckily, we found a great rental and all will be well. Best of all, I got to spend some time with a little granddaughter new to this sphere.
