Brandon had his 30th birthday on the 4th. We all went to the Firehouse Pizza for a birthday dinner.

Nicole had her 25th birthday on the 12th.
Travis had his 27th Birthday on the 29th.

Gary, me, Stacy and Jamie went horseback riding up in Logan Canyon, It was something I had wanted to do for awhile. I used to ride some when I was young. My dad was quite a horseman. He loved his horses. My dad would of been proud of all of us. We had lots of fun.

AUGUST
August was the month that Jordan started his senior year and I went back to work.

Taylor had her 6th Birthday. Can't believe she is in 1st grade this year and getting so big and such a beautiful young girl.




I was able to go for a weekend to Park City with my long-time friend, Jenae. We had a great time. We met up with Stacy and Jamie who also came up for the day. We went on the Alpine Slide and Roller Coaster and went out to eat and went shopping. We ended up by seeing a movie, "Julie and Julia". It was tons of fun!! Good to get away.

JULY
4th of July we went to Justin's for a barbeque and then watched Justin do fireworks in their street. We had a sleepover with the kids and had breakfast with them in the morning. We had a fun time!!

A few days later, Stacy returned home from New Jersey with her boyfriend, Jamie. They moved into the condo. A few days later, I took Stacy, Jamie and Jordan and my mom to St. George. I took mom to her neice, Naoma's place to stay and we stayed in Gary's cousin, Linda's condo there. It was really nice. We went to the Grand Canyon, Zions Park and saw a play at the Toucan. We all had a fun time there!! Jamie and Jordan hiked up the highest mountain in Zion Canyon, Angels Landing. They both said they loved it.






Later in the month, the family went camping to Tony Grove in Logan canyon.




Justin also had his 32nd birthday on the 28th.

In June, school ended. Jordan was done with school for the summer and that meant I was on vacation too. I spent the month of June getting the condo ready for Stacy and Jamie to move into when they came home in July.
I also got a chance to go back to New Jersey to see Stacy and the sights again before Stacy returned home.




We also had a DeMill Reunion. We have it in June to celebrate mom and dad's wedding anniversary which is June 14th. We had a fun time getting together with extended family. The guys fixed a dutch oven breakfast and had games and activities for the kids. It was a little hard because our dear dad wasn't there with us. But I know in spirit he was.

JUNE

It was also a time to honor our fathers. I am so grateful for my dad and the life he led. I miss him terribly. He was a wonderful father and I love him so much.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!

The family all got together a week after Father's Day to see their dad on Father's Day. Gary is a wonderful dad and grandpa. The grandkids love him so much! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Gary!!

2009 at a glance the past 8 months

After getting some proding from Nicole to finish my blog for the year 2009, I decided to get busy and update. I'll try to capture of few moments in time for the past 8 months in the year 2009..
MAY
May was the month for honoring our Mothers. I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother as my mom. She is the best example to me and to all of us. She has been through so many trials in her lifetime and has endured to the end and is still enduring. She is my Angel Mother. I love her so much!!

On Mother's Day, my family gave me a wonderful gift and that was that everyone of my family came and went to church with me. I felt truly blessed to have them all do that for me and loved having them all there.

Stacy's birthday was the 19th. She was still in New Jersey and we missed not having her for her 23rd Birthday. This is the kids Stacy nannied and was wishing her a Happy Birthday!
