Talbie's Bridal Showers

Talbie had 2 beautiful bridal showers

(not to mention the ones her friends threw)

The first one was a family shower that Lynn threw at her beautiful house...

 Lynnie gave her this apron that used to be Grandma Hunts!

Her second shower was thrown by wonderful friends in our ward -

Angie Farley, Kylee Haggard, and Holly Anderson

It was Pride and Prejudice themed and perfect!

All these girls have/had been in our ward since birth!

Emmie the Basketball Star

Emmie struggled with Osgood Slaughter's Disease last winter/spring.

This kept her from playing soccer and she was devastated!

It's something she will grow out of but long story short, she grew faster than her

muscles across her knee could keep up with.  They would both hurt so much when she ran.

She decided to give Basketball a try.  It ended up hurting her knees as well, but she enjoyed it.

She played for her 9th grade Canyon View Jr. High Team.

It was fun because Logan played at the same time for the boys team :)

During this time - she also did physical therapy on her knee...

 

Koda and Zu Zu

Maddie and Logan have 2 little dogs that we LOVE!  

Zu Zu is almost 3 and Koda just turned 2.

We love these little dogs and they have become such a big

part of our family.  Here are some of my favorite pictures of them lately!

And a favorite video...

The Downing's Part II

I have never gone without publishing something to this blog - at least one a month

since 2007!  Now I look and it's been 4 months!  YIKES!!

I'm determined to not let this slip so I am catching up!

I will start by posting some favorite pictures from Talbie's wedding that Jessie took.

She was such a great friend and photographer to have!
