THIS IS THE STARTING LINE-THESE GUYS IN THE COLORED JUMPSUITS WOULD SPRAY COLORS ON THE RUNNERS AS THEY STARTED THE RACE.  THEY WENT IN GROUPS, OR WHAT THEY CALLED "WAVES".  SHARAE WAS IN THE 2ND WAVE.

CHARLOTTES 1ST BIRTHDAY WAS 8-8-2013, THURSDAY. (Sharae waited till we got their on the 9th to celebrate)

WE GAVE CHARLOTTE A WALKER FOR HER BIRTHDAY.  SHE IS CRAWLING ALL OVER AND PULLS HERSELF UP AND STANDS.  THIS WILL HELP TO GET HER LITTLE FEET GOING.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BABY CHARLEY

SHARAE GAVE CHARLEY A LADY BUG BIRTHDAY.

SHARAE MADE THIS CUTE LADY BUG CAKE FOR CHARLEY.

WE SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHARLEY AFTER I FED HER SOME DINNER.

SHE IS A GOOD LITTLE EATER.

SHE LOVES HER BIRTHDAY CAKE, I WAS CAREFUL NOT TO GIVE HER THE FROSTING.

CHARLEY IS READY TO OPEN UP SOME OF HER PRESENTS.

I LOVE TO GIVE HER "LOVES"

OK MOMMY COME AND HELP CHARLEY OPEN HER PRESENTS NOW

WE ARE READY....

CHARLEY LIKES THE SOUND OF THE PAPER.

WOW SHE LOVES THE FOAM BLOCKS

SHE LIKES THE SOUND OF THE TISSUE PAPER TOO.

ME AND GRANDPA GOT HER 2 SUMMER OUTFITS, BUT 18 MOS IS A BIT BIG FOR HER, WE TRIED TO TAKE THEM BACK AND EXCHANGER FOR 12 MOS AND THEY WERE OUT.   WE JUST GAVE THEM TO HER WITH THE WALKER.

THE ONE THING ABOUT BABIES IS THAT EVERYTHING GOES IN THEIR MOUTHS.

SHARAE TOOK CHARLOTTE ON THE 8TH TO GET HER PICTURES DONE IN HER LADY BUG OUTFIT.  THIS IS HER CUTE OUTFIT.

SHE DOES LOVE THE PAPER.

Sharae and her family came down to see mom Cook, Betty jo and Allison on friday before they left to go home-she is so sweet and thoughtful ( they were on their way to Provo to a family reunion on Joes side of the family

Sharae and Allison hugging when Sharae came around 1130 am.

Mom Cook had not seen Charlotte who is 11 months.  She thought she was a doll.  Charlotte never cry's when she goes to people. Charlotte is looking at the ceiling fan and is very interested in watching it go around and around.

Sharae with her grandma Cook and her kids.  Ian is 7, Asher is 5 and Charlotte is almost 1 yr old.

FOUR GENERATIONS-BILL, MOM, SHARAE AND BABY CHARLOTTE.

FOUR GENERATIONS WITH ALL THE KIDS.  MOM COOK GAVE SHARAES FAMILLY THEIR CHRISTMAS FROM 2013.  SHE GAVE THEIR FAMILY A WONDERFUL BOOK WITH HER VOICE REGARDED AS SHE READS "THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS".  I HELD ASHER ON MY LAP WHILE WE LISTENED TO THE STORY.  HE LOVED IT, AND HERE HE IS HOLDING THE BOOK, HE WOULD NOT LET IT GO.  WHAT A TREASURE FROM MOM.

IT IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY.  JOE THANKS FOR NOT ACTING GOOFY IN OUR FAMILY PICTURE.

LANDON HAD JUST GOT OFF FROM HIS NIGHT SHIFT AND WAS TIRED BUT WANTED TO VISIT FAMILY.

KISSIN' COUSINS-HA, HA

CUTE-MAKING MEMORIES.

good-bye to grandma cook, Betty and Allison

this was special to have them visit, grandma cook will probably never make it up to Utah again to visit us.  She did well but she is getting older and slowing down.
