Happy Birthday Jared & Lexi




Today is Jared's 25th birthday, wow where do the years go. Jared is the only one of our four children that was born in Bountiful Utah. I have to say it was fun having him on the 30th of October and the next day being Halloween, all the nurses were dressed up and visited my room to leave me treats. I was so excited to have a son, not having any brothers I wanted the guns, swords, basketballs and all that boy stuff around our house. Jared has always been the best older brother and his two brothers and sister are very lucky to have him, he has always been such a great example to them. Jared has a BIG heart and is always thinking of others, we are very proud of him and for all that he has accomplished! Happy Birthday Jared we love you!!!



Happy Birthday to Lexi, we were out of town when she had her birthday on October 28th. We are very lucky to have her in our family, she brings her beautiful smile and brightens up our home. I have known Lexi since she was a little girl and was able to be her leader in YW. After her graduation I didn't see much of her when she moved away for awhile to Hawaii, but we are glad Jared found her when he got home from his mission. Thanks Lexi for being such a great sister to JaKelle that she never had and for being such a great wife to our son. Hope you had a great day, we love you!!!

Wonderful Weekend



I'm thankful for a weekend of being spiritually fed by our wonderful Prophet and other Church Leaders. Sunday's morning address touched me as President Monson spoke of Service "Each of us can do something to help someone. Unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and, figuratively, lose their life, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish and in effect save their life." His wish to all of us is "Find someone who is having a hard time, or is ill or lonely and do something for him or her." There were so many things I needed to hear this weekend to help me be a better person.

Fishing in Alaska

A couple of weeks ago, Lynn took a 8 day trip with his brother Richard to Alaska on the Kenai River so they could catch them some big fish. The last three days they flew to a Lodge that is owned by our Niece's husband's parents, Doug and his friend met them there. I told him to take lots of pictures but he not being a big picture taker only took a few. He did see some bears, one of them was right outside his cabin but he only has video of them so I will try to download those, my computer does not like to download videos, I do not know why.


This is a Dolly Varden fish.
