Humanitarian in Uganda


Last night for mutual we had a lady named Suzy who just got back from Uganda. She went to help the children out there and is going back next spring. If any one wants to donate items such as....clothes, toys, wall hangings, money for school kits etc. She will herself take the things with her and personally deliver them to the african children who have NOTHING. We are so spoiled. It was an emotional evening and it makes me what to do more for God's children who aren't as lucky as we are. She said it cost around 3,000 dollars for her to go out there for a couple weeks. It would be neat to be able to save that kind of money and do a humanitarian trip. I can always dream. Maybe we can base our humanitarian project for christmas around this. or if any of the grandkids working on personal progress you could do a project around it. Do a fundraiser or make bags for the school kits. or skirts for the girls. collect donations of all kinds of items. She says money is best because she can buy things alot cheaper out there. But she would take anything. She also knows a guy who is gathering items and a big truck to ship things that way. Just let me know if anyone is interested to really opened up my eyes. I love you all and remember how lucky we are not only to have the gospel but to live where we do.

Spring Break in Park City









Well we had a great week in park city at the westgate resort. We went up with Todd's family and the grandkids had so much fun together. I was very ready to come home but the kids didn't want to leave. It's all about building memories for the kids no matter how hard it is on the adults. It was great.

Provo City Half Marathon





So here are some pictures from the race. If you can't tell by the picture (which I'm sure you can) It was a hard race for me. Amberly looks so cute as always. My time was 2 minute slower than my St. George 1/2. My time was 2:16:31.
Isn't Amberly so cute. She did such a good job.

McKayla's Haircut


We tried something a little new. We cut McKayla some bangs. She hasn't had bangs since she was about 3 or 4. She really likes the new look, what do you guys think.
