HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN

Darren is 32 yrs old. I remember when I had him, I was 30, seems impossible that he could be that old. Here he is with Lindsay, and his two cute little girls.

Look at that face. He was really cute!

Darren loved to go camping with his Dad and went on many scout hikes. He had his own tent and could put it up by himself when he was 8 yrs old.

He has always loved sports. This is Dale Murphy, his favorite when he was young.

Darren and Don. I see Addison in that face.

He has always been good with his hands and is good at figuring out how to build things. He built his home in Queen Creek. He did all the beautiful cabinetry and doors and entertainment centers and even a bed for Mckenna. We enjoy a beautiful entertainment center and all the cabinets and countertops he built in our laundry room
He is a hard worker and a good guy to have around when you need something built. He built all the displays and cabinets in his Dads office and has done work in all his brothers homes. We appreciate all the good work he has done to make our lives a little bit better. He is a hands on Dad and is good with his kids. Happy Birthday Darren, we love you

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.”
