Marcus arrow of light

Marcus got his arrow of light last night at pack meeting. It is the highest award to get in cub scouts. He has now moved on to boy scouts. Campouts and big boy stuff. He is growing so fast and sometimes I don't feel any older than when I had him. He is a great kid with a great spirit. I love him so much.

Buckskin Gulch

Todd had a fun memorial day weekend. He went down south and spent some time with his good friend Jim Drake. They hiked 26 miles on Sunday and we a bit sore today. They had a good time. He said the scenery was beautiful.

Cambree finally walking

1year and 2 weeks old and I can now say she is officially walking. She walks everywhere and when she falls she gets right back up and keeps walking.

Is it summer yet!

The kids had a fun day on Friday of last week playing in the sprinkers. Just in time now it is wet and cold.

Our new family picture

Happy Birthday Marcus

11 Years old can't even believe it. I love you boy! Happy Birthday your the best kid. He had a fun birthday party. Invited 3 friends and we went to the mall to Mountain Fun an arcade place where on monday it's buy 10 get 20 free great deal they had a blast. Then we went to Chick-fi-la because the kids all got coupons from school for a free kids meal. Nothing better than FREE!

Happy Birthday Cambree

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.
