Happy Birthday Katelyn

This year we all went to Universal Studios to celebrate Katelyn turning 24th years old. She and Rhea got to Ride the Rip Ride Rockit Roller coaster together! A special treat because they had me to watch the kids and at the moment neither one is pregnant.

We had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe with 7 kids !!! So much fun!

Great place to take kids because nobody even notices the noise factor!

Its hard to believe she is all grown up.... I'm very proud of the person she is today.

I hope she knows how much everyone loves her!

Happy Happy Birthday my sweet girl.

Happy Birthday Rhea!

Rhea birthday went by in a blur this year... 27 years old.

It was the same weekend as Youth Conference and she had 5 young men

that stayed at her house.

I think this girl is very special . A wonderful mother to 3 beautiful little boys. I have never seen her happier than she is with them. I don't think of her as a daughter in law.... Not at all!

Rhea is my daughter and I love her very very much!

Happy Birthday Rhea Clair Wise!

Way to go Katelyn!!!

One cold morning in January Katelyn run a 1/2 marathon! 13 miles!

She trained for this for a long time.

Something no one in our family has done before.

She decided she wanted to do this, made a plan and did it!!

Katelyn got second in her age level. Macie-Kate likes the medal she won

Way to go Kate!! Great job!!
Michael, Macie, Merrik were all cheering her on!!

The Service project this year was a carnival for the primary age children.
I was so impressed with how the older youth worked with all the little kids.

The food was good and the Stake Young Men's Presidency did a great job.

Everyone liked it ,easy to prepare and clean up.

N.Y. City

This is a picture of Missy trying to tell the lady her last name is Wise. Rhea booked the tickets late one night .... . When she didn't make it through security people were whispering.. ..... You should have seen Missy .. as cool as could be. Reminded me of Salt! Our special limo ride to the hotel! Wow!

Rhea is a great travel agent. Remember the movie Big?
Well this is the same piano Tom Hanks used in the movie.

Natalie had fun and plays pretty good with her feet!

Florida girls 2 babies walking around the streets of NY city.

We heard one person say

"look its a stroller parade"

If they only knew we have 5 more at home What a fun city, so much different from Florida.

I'd say a nice place to visit but........

I wouldn't want to live here.

Rhea even had a limo tour us around.

He let us get out at all the fun spots.

It was cold and this was a great way to see everything!

Ground zero, china town, little Italy, Wall street,

Brooklyn bridge and so much more!

The Statue of Liberty!

Proud to be a American!
What a great Girl Trip .
Can't wait to see where we go next year!
Because we decided if the boys go on a boys trip
its only fair we plan a girls trip!!!!!

Missy, Rhea & Katelyn went to China town Natalie and
I took some time to go to the American Girl Store!
Even though she would have enjoyed it more a few years earlier
it was still something amazing to see.
A little girls dream store .

Again, Thank you Rhea....

Great seats for the Broadway play Marry Poppins.

We had such a good time. The girls sure looked beautiful in their winter coats and scarfs! Natalie loved the hats and we all liked our boots.

I think they would look good anywhere.

Our two little boys were PERFECT !

Thanks for including me!
