Paris and Colton at Albuquerque Zoo, April 2008

We had a fun time with Davy, Leigh, Paris, Colton and Naomi in Albuquerque in April. One of the fun things to do there is go to the zoo. Paris and Colton like the wolf at the entrance.

Dallin came into this world on April 30, 2008

Dallin loves to have his hair washed. This hairwash took two people.....Grandma and Mommy. He slept through the whole thing.

Welcome Dallin Michael Oaks to our family. You are our 10th grandchild! Dallin at one day old.

McKay posing for Grandma in the backyard. He loves the camera. He and Carter were playing outside while Gabe and Suzanne were playing at Disneyland. Someday he'll read this and they'll have to answer.

Carter spent time at Grandma and Papa's the first week of April 2008. Gabe and Suzanne went to Disneyland. (Don't tell the boys)

Shaylee, Paris and Tori

Beautiful day in Utah. Beautiful girls

"Seven out of Ten Ain't Bad"

Leigh, one of our wonderful daughters-in-law took this adorable picture of Angie and Clay's children and Davy and Leigh's children. Dallin was only 5 days old and still tethered to the billi blanket and couldn't come out to play. Carter and McKay were at home in Oregon. We sure missed them. Aren't our grandchildren the most beautiful!!!
