Mickayla had a wonderful time at Google while we were at Brent's gradation. She happened to be there on a day that there were kids there who were finalist for the Google name design. I think she was sold on Google as the company to work for. Watch out Ann and LaDawn, there may be another Risenmay there as soon as she is old enough.

 Mickayla got to have her face painted. She didn't want to wash it off that night. IT was really great.

 Mickayla got a change to try out surfing at google

 Grandma did a great job making her Wii character. I thought it looked just like her.

 She had fun bowling. She really thought the Wii was a great game.

 Grandma loved racing the cows on the Wii.

 Mickayl's 8th birthday was extra special. She had Ann, LaDawn, Brooklynn and Grandma come from out of town to spend this special birthday with her.

 Mickayla's baptism was very special. Blake was able to baptise her and her Dad was able to confirm her.

 It looks like everyone is looking for a sign in the heavens. Really they were watching crows attach a hawk!

 The kids had a fun time hanging out with Steve

 Grandma enjoyed her quiet time when ever she could find it.

 We had a lot of fun roasting marshmellows in the back yard.

 

 

 Blake was popular with the kids.

 

Will and Mickayla's Program
Mickayla and Will put together a little program for us to celebrate the New Year. It was very cute.

 

New Year's Eve program
Mickayla did a little dance for us for our New Year's Eve program

 

I got this out of order. Mickayla is drawing designs in the air with her sparkler on New Years Eve. We all had fun with the sparklers

 

New Years Eve
We bought long sparklers to celebrate the New Year with. They were so much fun. I'll never buy the short ones again if I have a choice. We celebrated the New Year early (Reed's Brazil Time) so that Will could join the celebration. It ended up I didn't make it until midnight our time either. Only Kim and Blake made it past midnight. Erin did also, she was at a party.
