"FIVE FLYING MONKEYS"

WHILE I WAS FIXING DINNER I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE THESE FIVE BOYS HAVING A BLAST ON THE TRAMPOLINE TOGETHER. GRANDMA AND GRANDPA EASTER BUNNY HAD GIVEN THEM THESE MATCHING CLOTHES. THEY LOOKED SO CUTE I HAD TO GO OUT AND TAKE A FEW PICTURES.

KAMDON DID THIS AWESOME MOVE OF SOME KIND FOR THE CAMERA

TAYLOR WAS FLYING HIGH IN THE BACK WHILE THE REST WERE GETTING READY TO DO SOME TRICK.

NOW BRAXTON IS UP!

OH MAN, KYLER AND BRAX ARE DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

GO TAYLOR! HE WAS SHOWING ME HIS MOVES!

I GOT THEM TO SIT ON A ROCK FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES, SO I COULD TAKE THEIR PICTURES. THEY ARE HYSTERICAL. ( AND OH SO SWEET)

SO CUTE AND FUN!!!! FIVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.

THEY WERE PRETENDING TO BE THE EASTER BUNNY! GRANDSONS ARE GREAT.

(KAMDON IN FRONT, KYLER AND TAYLOR 2ND ROW AND TYDON AND BRAXTON BACK ROW) I LOVE YOU FIVE GUYS!!!

BETTY JEAN LAKE KIESLING "MOM"

MY MOM PASSED AWAY ON FEBRUARY 20, 2012 IN RIGBY, IDAHO. SHE WAS LIVING AT HOMESTEAD ASSISTED LIVING CENTER.

SHE LOVED ANDEE MINTS, SO WE SHARED THEM WITH OUR GUESTS AT THE FUNERAL.

MY GIRLS MADE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM FOR HER. IT HAD PICTURES OF HER AND HER FAVORITE PIE RECIPE ON THE BACK. IT WAS AWESOME!

SHE REALLY LOOKED BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL IN HER TEMPLE CLOTHES LYING IN HER CASKET.

I THINK HER FAVORITE FLOWERS WERE WHITE ROSES BECAUSE KENNY ALWAYS SENT THEM TO HER. THE RED REPRESENTED KENNY AND THE PINK, MARSHA.

MY GIRLS AND I PUT A MEMORIAL TABLE TOGETHER TO REMEMBER ALL THAT SHE MEANT TO US.

NANCY AND CHRISTOPHER.

CHRISTMAS EVE WITH MY MOM

THIS IS MY MOM..BETTY JEAN LAKE KIESLING. AS THE YEARS GO BY IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT OUR LOVED ONES MIGHT NOT BE WITH US FOR ANOTHER YEAR, SO EACH GATHERING WITH GRANDMA BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT TO ME.

OPENING HER CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS

HER WATCH HAD QUIT WORKING SO I WENT TO GET BATTERIES FOR IT AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I LOOKED IN THEIR CASE AND THERE WAS THE VERY SAME WATCH IN THERE THAT SHE HAD. I BOUGHT IT AND SHE WAS SO PLEASED THAT SHE HAD HER WATCH BACK.

MIKE, MOM AND MYSELF

IT WAS FUN HAVING HER FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. WHEN WE GOT HER TO OUR HOUSE SHE PERKED UP A BIT. I TRIED MAKING DIVINITY WITH HER AND I COOKED IT TOO LONG. IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK. SHE PICKED IT UP AND DROPPED IT ON THE COUNTER AND SAID, "THIS IS NOT MY DIVINITY". I FINALLY THREW IT AWAY. SHE MADE THE BEST DIVINITY. I MISS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT SHE USE TO COULD DO SO EASILY. I NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS THOUGHT SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE DIVINITY ONE DAY. LIFE IS TEACHING ME TO APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS A LOT MORE. I LOVE MY MOM!
