GUESS WHO IS TURNING THIRTY FIVE

Happy Birthday to Melanie. We are so grateful to have such a good, kind and thoughtful daughter.


Wasn 't too many years ago that you were a small family of three

We were so happy to have a cute little baby girl. 4 lbs and 6 oz and only 17 inches long.
(Big sister, Jody)

A boy for Dad, a girl for me. I remember all of the help we recieved. Gramma LeSueur was always available to help. I miss her and would love to sit down and talk about the good ole days. She is probably spending some of her time with Mike (Cute hairdo Sandy)

You were beautiful even as a baby

So fun having twins. Everywhere we went people would stop us and ask us about having twins. Some would even ask, "Are they identical ?" We would always get a good laugh out of that.

You were so much fun and we enjoyed every minute of having you two together.


Look at that face, so cute!

You have always been a sweet girl and kind to everybody


Gorgeous sisters, remember that day?


Jr High school was fun

Had to put this one on. Remember "Grandpa and Grandma Are Going Away On a Mission"? Look at all the cute cousins.


Fun in the mountains, at the cabin. Who is that cool guy next to you?



We love you and are so proud of the person you have become. We are grateful for the good wife, mother, sister and daughter you are. It is fun to be your mother and I appreciate our friendship. I always enjoy spending time with you shopping, vacationing, eating and just talking . You have an adorable family and we love being with them. Thanks to Wayne for being a good husband and helper to our daughter. We love you all.

Happy family at the cabin.

A Helpful Thought

“When I take a small pebble and place it directly in front of my eye, it takes on the appearance of a mighty boulder. It is all I can see. It becomes all-consuming—like the problems of a loved one that affect our lives every waking moment. When the things you realistically can do to help are done, leave the matter in the hands of the Lord and worry no more. Do not feel guilty because you cannot do more. Do not waste your energy on useless worry. The Lord will take the pebble that fills your vision and cast it down among the challenges you will face in your eternal progress. It will then be seen in perspective. In time, you will feel impressions and know how to give further help. You will find more peace and happiness, will not neglect others that need you, and will be able to give greater help because of that eternal perspective.”

More Memories of Mike


TWINS! What a blessing in our lives.

Well, I got up this morning and Don has been very busy. He posted all these pictures of Mike and our family. Its been a walk down memory lane these past few days. We all make fun of Don and groan whenever he wants to line us up and take pictures. I am greatful that he is so diligent in torturing us and taking our pictures. They are certainly, undeniably,
irreplaceable.
