Heather Graduates! We are so proud of you!

Elise is 8!! What a special day! What a special girl!

Evelyn, Elise's 5 year old cousin sang this song I wrote for Kenny's baptism about 5 yrs. ago. Elise and Evelyn sang it again later that day at a convert baptism in her Grandpa's ward. It was so sweet and powerful.


My first step the waters warm
The burning in my heart tells me this is my first step home.
To my waist the water's deep
Sacred words the Priesthood speaks
Of promises and covenants kept
On this path I will take my first step.
The water rushes ore my head
I am washed clean by the blood He shed.
Immersed in His love then I rise
He took this step and so shall I.
The only one to fulfill the plan.
He came to earth to save all men.
On this road I'm not alone.
He'll be with me every step and guide me home.
My first step the water's warm
The burning in my hear tells me this is my first step home.

Goodbye King! We will miss you!

After a year of caring for this big brute, his owner is ready to take him home. Needless to say the kids didn't take it too well....

Go Grease Lightning! Kyle's Talent Show!

Kyle did a great job in this year's Emerson talent show! He had fun along with John Wright, Lance Bodine, Cooper Tingey and Michael. So funny....

Kyle=Scofield

Some have asked how Kyle got his nick name. We started calling him Scofield because we see a grown up version of him in Michael Scofield from Prison Break. What do you think?

Finally met Eliza!

I went to the BYU Conference for Women last weekend with Bailey and Missie. We stayed with Wills and Robins Grandpa who lives right by the Provo temple. It was hard to be so close to Buddy and not go see him. We thought of purchasing donuts for him and throwing them over the fence at the MTC but decided to send him a package instead. Not as fun but probably more effective. :) Bailey's mother-in-law and sister-in-law were amazing hosts and showed us how to do the conference in style. She gave us conference bags with EVERYTHING you could ever need including umbrellas and little socks in case our feet get cold. It was so wonderful. It was very eye opening and I learned a lot. I am anticipating the movie Marylin is making from our conference photos. I also ran into a dear friend who I love very much and haven't seen forever! It was so wonderful and I enjoyed every minute! We plan on getting all the sisters together and making it an annual event!
I was so excited to FINALLY get to squeeze my little niece Eliza Mann for the first time. It was so good to see Robin too. We debated pulling numbers from a hat to see who gets to hold Eliza first. She is so beautiful! I had some special time with her Saturday morning when Robin ran an errand with her mother. I didn't have to share Eliza for a whole 45 minutes! She reminds me so much of Charlie when he was a baby. So Yummy! It was hard to say goodbye! We stopped by St.George on the way home to see Kevin! It is so beautiful there. It was so good to see how happy Kevin was and see where he lives and give him a big hug. Missie and Bailey and and I had a blast on the drive watching Ghost Whisper and giving our spouses the "Love Language" profile quiz over the phone. I had so much fun! I came home to a clean house and lots of hugs and kisses! Perfection.
