We flew to California on Wed. morning. Morgan was so
excited it was her 1st airplane ride, so of course she
got to sit by the window. When we got there we

It was so much fun to watch. The Yankees won
that game. After the game we went and checked
into our hotel and relaxed the rest of the day.

Taylors 15th Birthday

2009-11-01T06:15:00.000-08:00

Taylors friends came over Sunday night
to decorate our house for her Birthday!
Brandon took her to get her learners permit
that morning and it took her a few minutes to
look and the house to see what they had done to it.

We had a family party for her. She got jeans, jewelry, a purse
and lots of money to spend in California. She did pass
her test and now has her learners permit. I can't believe
how time flies and how fast they grow up.
Happy 15th Birthday Tay!!!

Well we started our Fiesta Days with the Fish Rodeo,
but my girls think they are to old to participate,
So they just helped their cousins and they had a
ton of fun. Then we went to the Rodeo with my
family and my nephew Dagen did the Mutton
Bustin'. He did a great job riding though.
I didn't get many pictures this year but here
are some of them.

Taylor getting her Treasure Hunt Prize.

We had a great 24th of July BBQ at Jeff and Lauries
house. We ate dinner and had the best ribs of all times,
then she did a treasure hunt for the kids. They always
love a treasure hunt. After the party we went to see
the fireworks.

Puppies, Graduation, Softball

2009-06-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of the puppies before
they left us. One of the boys puppies went
to a little boy in Ogden. He was so excited to
have a new puppy. The other boy went to a
family in Salt Lake. One little girl went to Idaho
with my Aunt Diane. The other little girl went to
a lady here in Spanish Fork. We were really sad to
see them go but ready for them to leave.

Softball season has began and now it is
almost over. Morgans team didn't do
so well but they had a awesome coach.

Morgan with Mrs. Mantilla.
She graduated from 5th Grade.
I can't believe she only has 1
more year in Elementary School.
Mrs. Mantilla was an awesome teacher
and Morgan enjoyed having her as a teacher.
Congratulations Morgan!!!

Well this summer has been full of rain.
No camping yet because of the
terrible rain we have been having.
Taylor went to Girls Camp and it
poured on them every day and night.
But she had fun anyway.
Morgan is on here way to
Shadow Mountain Monday morning.

She is really excited for it. Taylor is too.
Hopefully we can start going camping
and swimming now that the weather looks
like it is starting to be sunny.

OUR NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

2009-04-28T17:15:00.001-07:00

Maisy and her puppies.

Yesterday Maisy started into labor around 4:30 pm. Around 1:30 am
she had her first puppy. Followed by 3 more and it finally ended
for her around 4:30am. Brandon was the one who stayed
up with her to make sure that all went well. He did a
great job at it too. Everytime she had one he would run upstairs
and tell us to come and look. We haven't really touched them
but we think that there is 3 boys and 1 girl. They are so cute.
I think that it is so amazing how they just know exactly what to
do when the babies come out. The girls are in heaven with
the baby puppies. I am sure once they have to start taking
them out to potty in the middle of the night they may not
think it is so fun.

Student Council

2009-04-28T16:53:00.000-07:00

Taylor decided to run for student council for next year.
These are the posters that we made for her to hang up
at school. The elections go all week and they will
announce the winners on Friday. We will let you know
what happens. I am very proud of Taylor for doing this.
Thanks to my sister Tiff for helping with the posters.
GOOD LUCK TAYLOR!!!

Me and Taylor ran the 5K, and Morgan did a 1K.
Morgans time was 7 minutes, Taylors was 34 minutes,
and my time as 36 minutes. We had a great time and I am very
proud of the girls for doing that with me. Brandon cheered me

This is Brandon, Taylor and Morgan sitting around the campfire after
an evening of hunting.

We went for a hike up Grotto Trail in Payson Canyon while we
were hunting and this is the waterfall that is at the end of the trail. It is
not a very long hike but it was really pretty with
all of the leaves changing.

We also went for a walk around Payson Lake. Morgan was upset
because we forgot to take fishing poles to do some fishing. She sure
takes after her Grandpa Larry.

On Friday Sept. 5th we left for our family vacation to Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios & Disney Land. We stayed Friday night in St. George to break the driving up. Then on Saturday morning we were off to San Diego for 3 Days.
Sunday Morning we got up and went to Sea World. We watched Shamu and the Dolphin show. We went on the Journey to Atlantis water/roller coaster ride that was way fun. Then we went back to the hotel and did a little swimming.
Monday we went to the San Diego Zoo. We walked around for a little while and decided that it was to big so we got on the bus tour and finished our trip to the zoo.
We went back to the hotel and got on our swimsuits and went to Mission Bay Beach. Brandon went and rented a body board and we all tried to do a little surfing. Taylor and Brandon did it the best.
Tuesday we got up and packed our things and were off to Universal Studios. There we went on a tour of the back lots where the make some of the TV shows and films. We saw where they make Desperate HouseWives, Water World, Jaws, and alot more. They had some fun rides there including Jurassic Park, The Mummy and The Simpsons. They were alot of fun. After we ate dinner it was off to the final destination DISNEYLAND....
We got to our hotel in Anaheim Tuesday night and stayed until Saturday morning. We were in the park from open to close and we all had such a great time. If really is The Happiest Place on Earth. We watched the parades, and the fireworks on Friday night. The fireworks are so amazing, especially Tinker Bell flying over the castle. Morgans favorite ride was California Screamin', Mulholland Madness and making sure she got Captain Jack Sparrow autograph, Taylors was Tower of Terror, Brandons was Soarin' over California and I think my favorite was California Screamin' and Tower of Terror.
We finally made it home Sunday September 14Th. We had such a great time but it sure is good to be back home in our own house. The kids are already talking about going back. Below are some slide shows with our pictures.

doing very good & he is breathing on his own. He will
be in there until he gains some weight. Congrats Aimee & Eric.

Look at all of his hair!!!!!

We went to visit them on tuesday night. Aimee took us
up to see him and she got to hold him for the first time
since she had him. We got to hold him and he is so dang cute.
The girls couldn't go in and see him because they have to
be over 16 to go in but they were able to stand
by the doors and look at him while Aimee was holding him.
They can't wait to hold him.
