What a special opportunity I have for Jordyn to be ready for baptism at the same time I am! We've decided to share this day as mother and daughter and would love for you and your family to attend! For the past several years we have been growing closer as a family to the Lord and want everyone to know of our commitment and intention to live with him again someday. We would love to share this special day with you so meet us at the Timpanogos park at the mouth of Provo Canyon to see the joy that God has blessed our lives with!

Elk Hunt

There's not a prettier time of year to be hunting in the mountains and if it wasn't for that you wouldn't get me up there! But Todd had an amazing time hunting his Wasatch tag with his dad. This was a once in a lifetime that they had been putting in for since ... well over 16 years so it was a huge deal. Dad got an elk and Todd will have to be patient for another shot in some other lifetime! I hope someday Todd logs in and shares the story ... oh wait, I'm sure he'll write it in a Heritage Makers Storybook!
Todd couldn't have pushed through the week without the help of his good buddy Don and Don's son-in-law Tyler. They were troopers and hung in there with him all week!

Kayden gets branded a Cub Scout

Our first pack night was full of surprises as the Scout Master and his posse put the word out that a new Cub Scout was "wanted" by the troop. They went to great lengths to welcome Kayden into the group and what fun it was to see him have a great time.
They even branded him a scout (with corn starch and water) and we had such a great time.Kayden already earned his Wolf Badge and went through the painting of the face, which is customary in this pack when a major advancement happens. It was such fun to make commitments with Kayden that as a family we will help him grow in his scouting journey. Proud mom and dad today!
