Briaunna and Maddie Hangin Out!


Briaunna and Maddie's Sister Date
Maddie was SO excited to have a sleepover at Bri's apartment.  Bri took her to Discovery Park with her cousins Tiffani, Erika, and Presli.  

Yes, there is a little monkey in all of us, (some more than others)

Future Payson Lions!




Maddie and her best friend Shaur'y went to cheer camp at Payson High School for the week and then got to perform at the Friday night football game at half time.

History on our party of five...


Scott and Melyssa are the ones who started this very fun family. After almost 11 years of marraige, and three daughters later, there is never a dull moment in our household.
Scott is a hard working father, husband, comedian(although his family is so used to his humor, we are a pretty tough crowd), and guitar learning guy (we all can sing "Maggie May" word for word again, and again, and again). He is always ready to tell you his philosophy on the world according to him. Anywhere from college tuition and boys, to dance and diapers, he has an opinion on it all. He loves his daughters and is always there to cheer them on in all their stages of life. Even though he is outnumbered by being one boy in a house of four girls, he is our number one fan.
Melyssa is a busy mom, wife, house cleaner, bookkeeper, vacation planner...ok, can't name all that I find myself doing. With my 3 girls, I am never bored. I am always ready for a game of monkey Ball, a good jump session on the trampoline, a lunch date in between college classes, and time sitting with the baby doing really dumb things to make her giggle. Yes, life is good.
Briaunna is our very beautiful 20 year old. Yes, I know I look good for having a daughter her age. She is in her junior year at UVU and studying Psychology. She is busy with friend(s), school, travel (she just got back from a six week trip to Costa Rica and Dominican Republic), and basically making life all about her. Why wouldn't she? These are the best years of her life! She loves her sisters (even though the baby is farther from her in age than me) and makes all effort to see them and play with them as often as she can. She is great.
Maddie is almost 8! Wow, how time flies. She loves books, school, Shaur'y a.k.a Chewy (her little best friend across the street), dance, softball, Littlest Pet Shops, purses, shoes, clothes, shopping, and keeping her dad and I on our toes. She never misses a beat. She is quick with the jokes, and always questions everything. Yes, she is smarter than me already, I admit it. She is so much fun.
And then came Georgia. Our newest little 4 month old pride and joy. What can I say, who doesn't love a baby! Between Dad, Mom, Bri, Maddie, and yes, grandma, the child is hardly starved for attention. Nobody can walk by her without stopping to hold, kiss, play, or just watch her very cute facial expressions. She already has a way of making you smile and bringing lots of happiness. What a blessing she is.
