My Louisiana Love!

The picture above is the day Tyani arrived!! It's a pic of Tyani and her lil' brother Teiko. The picture below is Tyani and her lil' sister, Nola aka "Baby Girl"

My beautiful niece, Tyani got to come down for the Thanksgiving holidays. She lives in Louisiana so we don't get to see her much...I call her my "Louisiana Love." Tyani turned 10 this past month and got really good grades (she's such a smartie!) so her mom & dad asked her what she wanted as a reward and what she wanted was to come to SLC to see all her family. My brother, Hyrum (pictured below with Tyani) works for the airlines and flew out to pick her up and bring her down....boy, were we excited to see her! =) This is Joe and Lome's family. Oldest is Tyani (10), Joejoe(4), Babygirl(2), and lil' baby Teiko (6 months).

My two, Ala & Bean with Tyani. (above) They rushed from school to the airport to say their "goodbyes"....Beanie was just bawling after this picture. She did not want to see Tyani leave. Beanie's girl cousins her age are Tyani who lives in Louisiana and the others are in New Zealand. When Tyani came down, we all told her about how we'd been rooting for LSU when they'd play football each week, (althought we are die hard BYU COUGAR fanatics) keeping her in mind...right away she said, "What for? I'm a BYU fan!" Boy was her daddy proud when she said that...LOL! Grandma bought her the BYU sweater above so she could wear it home, along with an ipod to listen to on the plane....Tyani about hit the roof! Hahaha! Below is the crowd that made it to the airport to say goodbye! We had such fun times with her and are so thankful to Mace and Chris for allowing her to come down.

WE LOVE YOU TYANI GIRL!!
