HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MELISSA

Somebody is having a birthday. (Melissa and Kacey)
Happy Birthday to Mom- these are Melissa's adorable kids. She has done a great job raising them. We do have the cutest grandkids!!!

Seems like yesterday these three were having fun on the tramp. Actually they still have fun on the tramp, everytime they are over. Emalie, Garrett and Scotty


This goes way back. Grandma Louise LeSueur holding Emalie (who is now a beautiful 15 yr old). This is the last picture we had of Grandma LeSueur.
Do you recognize these people?
Darren, Russ, Sandy, Grandpa Waldo, Chad, Melissa and Scott, Grandma and Emalie, Kristen and Melanie. 1993


How old do you think she is? I'm not telling but I will give you a hint- next year will be a "big" one.

Here is the family at Manti Utah reunion, minus a couple of girls. We really appreciate how Melissa has always been apart of our big family and supports all our family activities. She is a kind, loving and patient and supporting wife and mother. She always has a good attitude and is happy and pleasant.


How could Russ be so lucky to have such a great wife. We all love her and are grateful to have her in the family. I especially like the way she has always treated me. She is a daughter to me and a good friend, We used to have fun shopping and decorating together. She is too busy for those kinds of things now.Being a mother to teenagers, and and grade schools kids and working full time takes every minute of her day .
When we were in Manti she found this gravestone of a Susanna Chapman and know she must be a relative. Nearby is the stone of Welcome Chapman. I 'm sure her dad Terry Chapman can tell us who he is. We are grateful for the good heritage she has and especially her parents who have taught her so well. (Terry and Linda are serving a mission in Virginia)

Melissa and her oldest boy Scott. He definately has a lot of Chapman in him. Isn't he goodlooking? He is also a really nice, good boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA, WE SURE DO LOVE YOU AND YOU HAVE MADE ALL OF OUR LIVES BETTER BY KNOWING YOU.

Hi Sandy. I stumbled across your blog somehow. Do you remember me? I used to live next door to you in the 45th ward. I scrolled back quite a ways. You have a beautiful family! Just wanted to say hi:)
