Big Budda...


Big Budda came to Cal's Deli in Bountiful.  Our friend, Taisi called and asked if Jarom could get out of school and come to his in-laws deli, so they could have heads there.  Tanner and I went there, also.  It was fun.  It's a good deli.  We were live on the news at noon.  Savanna saw it.  Jeff and Grandma saw 1/2 of it.  Now we need to go see it at Savanna's, since she recorded it for us.
Big Budda talked to Tanner about not messing with the bull, or you get the horns.  
A guy from the paper was there.  I only had my phone for taking the pictures.
This was in the newspaper a couple weeks later.


Either Budda shrunk or Jarom (and Kauri) really grew... Kauri and Jarom danced when Budda came to the place they took dance- store... A Touch of Hawaii.... This was about 3 years ago

Happy Birthday, Annika!

Annika's birthday was the 28th of August, and she turned 17! She is such a joy to our family - especially to her mother. I can't believe how fast time has gone. She was just a baby, that I had waited for for so many years, just the other day. I saw the movie "Mama Mia" a while ago. The song "Slipping through my Fingers" had me sobbing.  I know lots has happened in my life, and it has needed to be this long to fit it all in, but wow, it was just last month, that Annika was born, I'm sure of it!  Annika-I love you so much! Thank you for all the joy you have brought me, and that you continue to bring me! I'm so lucky to have my daughters be my best friends in the world! Because I know you could find no better ones anywhere! Have a Happy Year Anni!

17 year old Beauty!
Annika went to the Beach and Disneyland when she was 6 weeks old.  
She knew how to have fun from the beginning!

A darling little baby girl!
"Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it... Slipping through my fingers all the time
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile..."
