Megan was baptized this Saturday, September 4, 2010 and became an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a very special day, one she had been looking forward to since she turned eight back in July. We met at the Stake Center at 10:30 am for her baptism. Grandma …

Do Your Best!
Our back to school theme this year is “do your best.” Last year it was “do something nice for someone daily” and it really stuck with the kids all year. I am hoping this year they will focus on giving their best effort in all they do. Our theme for the year School started yesterday …
Getaway
Seth and I decided to take a few days and sneak down to St. George by ourselves. Yes, you read that right. I did say by ourselves. St. George isn’t at the top of my list in the scorching month of August, but my dad has a nice place down that way and he is …
This picture makes me laugh!
Of course it would have made me laugh even more had it have been outside, but I guess the funny part is they grabbed it out of the fridge and starting digging in right on the kitchen floor. Oh the life of being a kid!
Ellie – 8 months

A couple years ago I noticed Megan had a really nice swim stroke and I suggested she give swim team a try. She wasn’t really excited about the idea and I wasn’t going to force her so I just let it go. This year however I was a little more persistent and convinced her to …
Silver Lake Flat
Sunday afternoon after naps Seth got this idea that we should drive up AF Canyon and have a little cookout by Silver Lake Flat reservoir. Everyone was excited so we packed up real quick and headed out. Seth conveniently forgot to tell me we would be 4×4’ing up the mountain on a dirt road with …
Cowabunga Bay
We went to Cowabunga Bay yesterday with Rachel, Spencer and their kids to celebrate Lucy’s birthday. It is certainly not a cheap little adventure, but the kids sure had a great time. We got there just before 11:00 am and didn’t leave until dinner time. There weren’t a ton of slides, but they were all …
OCD
Drew is already showing symptoms of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). He hates having anything sticky on his face, hands, feet or clothes. He won’t eat a cookie unless it is the whole cookie, not a half of a cookie. I remember not to long ago trying to give him half of a piece of my …
