HaPpY BiRtHdAY Beautiful Girl!!!

Happy Birthday to our Beautiful 21 year old Daughter Jessica!!!!

It believe is hard to believe that our little girl is
21 years old today! The time sure has flown by soooo
quickly! People told us when she was little that it
goes by fast so we enjoyed every moment and we are
soooo glad that we did!!!!


She made great choices in friends!

and friends that she shared many extra special
things in her life that mean so much to her!
(the Gospel of Jesus Christ)

Jessica has a Mommy who loves her dearly
and feels she is her most precious gift!


and a Daddy who adores her!


Jessica has parents who love her dearly!
and we have been on many fun adventures through
these 21 years!



and many others who have been a very big
influence in her life....



There have been extra special treats
and memories
with extra special people...




Then of course the day she was swept off
her feet by her own Prince Charming!!!



And they are going into the future to see what
Heavenly Father has in store for them!!!


As she has many more adventures and memories
to make ....



We are so grateful Heavenly Father sent us
this caring, loving, fun, kind, beautiful, shining
example into our lives.
We love you Beautiful Girl!!!

Have a Fantastic Day!!!
KEEP SMILING!
With love,
Momma and Daddy

Grandpa Jim is so much fun!!!

Grandpa Jim and Grandma (Abuelita) Lee Wallace

Grandpa Jim is soo much fun!!

One of Grandpa's fun poems:

Little Drops of powder
Little Dobs of paint
Can make a girl's complexion
Look like what it ain't!!

Grandpa also said that "he has the "pig flu"
He is eating everything!!!

Not really...he actually is only weighing 110 lbs...
He keeps loosing weight...
Grandpa said
"Old Soldiers never die, they just fade away."

He is sooo funny...Grandpa has always shared poems that
he remembers...some since grade school...We have
tried to save some of them...we wish we would have been
able to save more...We have enjoyed these fun times with
him...and learned many things from the things he has
shared...we love him so much..

Grandma just had her 87th birthday...Grandpa is 91...
and they have been married for 69 years...
We have been so very blessed to have them for so long...

We so love them!!!!

Laura on TV!!!

Laura was on TV...

We went to the Atlanta "Tea Party"!!!
with Steven, Melinda and Tyler...
It was great!!

Then Laura went to school the next day and one of the teachers said I saw you on
tv last night and sure enough there she was...
You can go to the page and see her too! Her 2 seconds of stardom!
She is in the last 20 seconds of the newscast....right after you see the big tea bag sign..
