Meeting Brock Kylen Mellor

Brock Kylen Mellor (Kylen was choosen by Brocks birth-mother Heather) was born on January 15, 2008 at 11:47 am, in Tucson Arizona. He weighed 8lbs 3oz 201/2 in. long. Randy and I were awakened at 6:30 am by my sister-in-law Michelle, on the phone telling us Heather was in labor. We both turned to each other and said "this is it". 1/2 hour later we were on our way to Tucson. It takes about 12 hours drive time. We were so hoping to get there before Brock was born, but we did not make it. We arrived around 8:00 p.m. and went straight to the hospital.

New Years Eve!

Happy New Year!!! This year for new years, we hung out with the family at Fat Cats. We played 3 games of bowling. Girls against boys. I never realized how good of a bowler Randy is. He was getting strikes and spares right and left. It was fun to hang out with the family. We had a blast! We are excited to see what this New Year will bring.

The update on our house...

We finally got the Stucco and the Rock on.

My brother Zack, came and surprised us with his talent in laying down the hardwood floor.

Chazz and Zyan came to help too. Chazz brought his cars, and we had fun making a race track out of the hardwood floor scraps.

For Time and all Eternity.

On October 16, 2007, my nephew was sealed to his parents in the Provo Temple for Time and All Eternity. It was such a special day.

Bryson was adopted by my sister and brother-in-law back in March. For legal reasons, they had to wait to have him sealed and blessed when he reached 6 months of age.

What a joy Bryson has been for our whole family. We are so blessed to know that through our Heavenly Fathers Plan, we can be with our families for Time and all Eternity.

The progress on our house...

LEARNING HOW TO QUILT

This is my mom, Diane. She has been wanting me to learn how to quilt for the longest time. She has been quilting for 7 years and is so good at it. She has made so many quilts for people she loves. She is always excited to teach and show others what she has come to love. She is a great teacher! Halloween is coming up so I decided to make a Halloween quilt.

This is me sewing away. I am about 1/2 way done! I started the quilt on Friday and all weekend all I could think about was going to my mom's to work on the quilt. So I might have found a hobby.

This is how far I have gotten. I have 3 rows left.

What a great person my mom is. She is so caring, and is willing to help with anything you ask. I have enjoyed her company through her helping me learn how to quilt. Quilting is so fun. Everyone should try it.

Our new nephew, KiKi!
