Bryce and I took the kids camping. I have been helping Bryce with his kids this summer. It has been so much fun for the kids to be able to spend the summer together. I can't believe summer is almost over -it has flown by. The kids start school again on the 20th. I am really bummed because I love my kids being home with me!

Youth Conference

I was able to attend Youth Conference again this year. We left early Monday morning and returned late Wednesday evening. We toured Temple Square, performed baptisms for the dead in the SL Temple and held a testimony in the temple. We also went to the open house for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was so beautiful! We went to "This is the Place" monument and then tubed the Provo River. It was so much fun! I was sad to come home but was really missing my kids! Ty has been working in Monticello for a couple of months now and I hate him being gone! He has been able to come home for two days every twelve days but his boss is giving him grief and wants him to just stay until the job is done middle of September. I hope that doesn't happen -12 days is already too long! He is suppose to be home aroung midnight tomorrow and I am excited to see him!

24th of July



Tylie danced in the 24th of July parade in Cedar. It was her first performance. She had fun but was really hot! Jessie called and asked us to go fishing at Kid's Pond with them so we made some tinfoil dinners and went fishing!

Tylie's Baptism on the 4th of July




Tylie was baptized on the 4th of July. It was a really busy day! We woke up to the cannon going off at 7:00 and headed to the parade. Following the parade the YW and I participated in the program. We did a fun skit that had everyone laughing. We then went up to the Cobble Crest where the we (the YW leaders) were in charge of cooking lunch for everyone. It was busy but turned out great! We skipped the games and water fight at the park to get ready for Tylie's baptism. Tylie was thrilled to have her dad baptise and confirm her. Tyler was really nervous but did a wonderful job! I was so proud of both of them. We then went and got pizza for everyone and went back to the Cobble Crest for "family night." The town has a DJ come so everyone can dance and/or sit on the lawn and listen to music. They also have a bunch of inflatable slides, jump houses, etc. for the kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy. It turned out to be a really fun and exciting day!

Kanarra Girls Camp 2009



We had another successfull girls camp. We had a couple of accidents but in all we had a great time. This calling keeps me young and I really love the girls and the leaders I get to serve with. These girls all get along very well and we didn't have even one disagreement throughout the four days. I love living in a little town where everyone is so close! It's like one big family:)

Tylie's Birthday



I can't believe Tylie is already eight! Where did the time go? I still remember bringing her home from the hospital. She is a wonderful daughter and I love her very much!
