On Friday we left to drive out to Utah to go to Aunt Mary’s funeral. It was a quick trip, and we were back on Sunday afternoon. The services were nice and it is so comforting to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation that we do. All the family was there, and we […]
We just found out that Aunt Mary (Grandma B.’s sister) passed away today. She had taken a sudden turn for the worse, after being healthy and walking every day, sweeping sidewalks, etc. The funeral is on Saturday and so we’re going to drive to Bountiful then and support the family.
Today, Kirstyn babysat for some friends of ours in the ward. They are ranchers, and Kirstyn had to move one of the steers from one place to another for some reason. We didn’t see it, but it was absolutely hilarious to think of Kirstyn, our TOTAL city girl, pulling a stubborn steer across the yard
Sarah flew out to California today! We were able to talk to her for about 30 minutes when she got to the airport! We are so proud of her and for her decision to serve the Lord on a mission! This time, I didn’t fall apart like I did when she left to go to
Today, Brittany threw a birthday party for herself! She had about 15 friends over and they had a great time! It’s great that she’s making some good friends out here. They played all sorts of games (inside and out), and had a blast! They ate cupcakes, drank pop, and opened presents! We took lots of

What a bummer! 🙁 What’s crazy, is that it turned out for the best. Right after that, it started to lightning,
Today, Kirstyn went up to the temple and did baptisms with a bunch of the young women. During the summer, they have the temple open for youth baptisms between 11 and 4 or something like that for anyone to come in and do the work. So far, the response has been overwhelming and they expect
Zach is coming up on the last day of school and as part of this, they have an entrepreneur day where his class brought in stuff to sell and see how they could do. He decided to make cupcakes, but not only did he do that, he dressed up in his apron, had a great
Today was a beautiful evening with a little bit of breeze, so the boys and I went out and flew their kite! It was a lot of fun and the boys really enjoyed it. We love the weather out here and hope it continues to be awesome!
Today we had my Aunt Anne and Uncle Steve and most of the family come down to dinner today. They are in the Denver area having a family reunion and wanted to see us. It was a lot of fun getting to see them. We hadn’t seen most of them for a LONG time and
