THIS IS BAYLEE PERFORMING HER TANGO TRIO! WHAT A RED HOT CHICK!

OUR DAD SURPRISED US WITH A FAMILY TRIP TO ARIZONA! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN SWIMMING,EATING,SHOPPING AND MOST OF ALL, JUST BEING TOGETHER1

THIS PICTURE WAS IN THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE OF MCKAY'S JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM. IT WAS A RAIN OUT AS YOU CAN SEE. WAY TO GO TO MAC AND HIS TEAM FOR A GREAT SEASON OF BASEBALL.

PEYTON'S FIRST T-BALL GAME WAS GREAT. FOLLOWING IN BIG BROTHER'S FOOTSTEPS? I DON'T KNOW, THE PLAYGROUND WAS MORE INTERESTING TO HIM.

BAYLEE AND HER CHEER GROUP HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE IN THE LAS VEGAS NATIONALS. THEY PLACED 4TH IN THEIR DIVISION OUT OF A TOTAL OF 4! WE DIDN'T MIND BECAUSE WE WERE ALL HAVING SO MUCH FUN SWIMMING AND RIDING ROLLER COASTERS! WHAT A CUTE BUNCH OF GIRLS.

JUST ONE MORE DAY UNTIL DAD GETS HOME! WE HAVE REALLY MISSED HIM THE PAST TWO WEEKS WHILE HE HAS BEEN IN CHINA. I THINK IT HAS BEEN AN EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE VISITING SIX DIFFERENT PLACES IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. HE SAID IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DEPRESSING WITH THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN MOURNING DUE TO THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKES. THE DEATH TOLL COULD REACH 100,000 AND MILLIONS WITHOUT HOMES. MANY OF THEM ARE CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTS. I HOPE WE CAN ALL DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE IN CHINA.

I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO START BLOGGING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT FAMILY, MEMORIES, SPECIAL EVENTS ETC. I HAVE BEEN READING A BLOG THIS PAST WEEK OF MY FRIEND'S FRIEND. I AM COMPLETELY AMAZED BY THIS CUTE COUPLE IN PARK CITY. THEY HAVE JUST LOST THEIR SOON TO BE TWO YEAR OLD BABY GIRL DUE TO A CHOKING ACCIDENT AT CHURCH. THEIR LOVE FOR THE SAVIOR AND HEAVENLY FATHER HAS DEEPLY TOUCHED ME. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FAITH AND SUCH A DEEP COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER. THEIR BLOG WILL BE SUCH A GREAT WAY TO LOOK BACK AT ALL OF THOSE SWEET MEMORIES OF THEIR LITTLE ANGEL. THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME!

WE WERE SO HAPPY WHEN GRACIE MADE THE DECISION TO BE BAPTIZED! WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE NEAT TO HAVE HER BIG BROTHER BAPTIZE HER. GRACIE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS SUCH A NEAT IDEA. SHE KNEW WE WOULD PROBABLY LEAVE HER UNDER THE WATER A LOOOOOOONG TIME OR MAYBE NEVER, EVER BRING HER BACK UP! GRACIE WANTED HER DAD, AND SO IT WAS! SHE WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE GRANDPA AND GRANDMA FROM AFRICA, CHRIS AND CHRISTA FROM DENVER, ANGIE AND FAM FROM ST. GEORGE AND OF COURSE THE REST OF THE FAMILY FROM HOME TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY WITH HER. IT WAS QUITE THE CROWD! SHE WAS REALLY EXCITED TO BE BAPTIZED RIGHT ON HER 8TH BIRTHDAY! THAT IS SURE TO BE A DAY SHE WILL REMEMBER. CONGRATULATIONS TO GRACIE!!!!!
