Highland Hawk Walk 2018. This little girl ran just short of 5 miles. I was pretty impressed and kind of hoping she would slow down so I could rest. #highlandelementary #hawkwalk #schoolfundraiser #elliepatricia via Instagram

Finley Joined our Family
Okay, this decision was not an easy one. Our kids have been begging for a dog for years and years, at least five, possibly more. I started to sway about a year or two ago, but Seth was pretty firm on his decision that we were not a dog family. He likes dogs, but just …
Trek 2017
Both Megan and Jake were able to go on Trek this year. They went to Muddy Creek, Wyoming with our stake. They left on Thursday morning and returned Saturday evening. Although I was unable to attend with them I was able to see them off, pick them up and enjoy all their fun stories. Neither …
Girl’s Camp
Both my oldest girls, Meg and Katelyn, went to girl’s camp in June. It is always something they look forward to attending each year.

President’s Cup – Mesquite, NV

Well, believe it or not, the weather was awful. It rained, actually poured, most every day we were there! Yes, in the driest state, it rained. What luck! Megan’s …
Ski Day
This year has been a weak ski year for our family, but we did manage to get one day where all of us (minus Meg) went to Alta Ski Resort for a little ski day. The weather was perfect and we had a blast!
Manina’s San Diego Visit
I took my annual trip to San Diego in February. When one of my besties moved away, I was devastated. However, Seth promised me that I would be able to visit her often. He has held true to his word as he encouraged me to head out and spend time with her and her kids …
