Tyler Turns 8











My niece, Tyler, turned 8 years old on Sunday. She is such a happy little girl. She has a bright smile and a very contagious laugh. She is also so cuddly - which I adore! :)

She had a ROCK STAR friend birthday party on Saturday. We played dancing games and sang karaoke. Everyone got a backstage pass and a CD of some of Tyler's favorite songs. It was a blast.

On Sunday, she had ice cream and cake with the family.

Happy Birthday Ty! I love you so so so much!

My New Job


I started a new part time job last Tuesday. I am a receptionist/admin at Zions Securities Property Reserve. They are a property management company. I work in the Triad Center in downtown Salt Lake. It seems to be a great company to work for. I have enjoyed it very much so far. The people are kind and very accepting. I am excited to embark on a new adventure.

Something New




Jeff and Heather (My Brother and Sister in law) had a brand new baby girl on January 6th. Her name is Kaylee Nicole Wood. She is so beautiful. She was 19 inches and 9 lbs 10 oz. Every one is doing fabulous!
