Heritage Makers

I'm so proud to be a Heritage Makers Consultant. Our little company is getting bigger and reaching out to people and places I never saw coming. This past month we've been honored to receive a ranking of #132 on the INC 500 and #9 for Consumer Services and Products. We don't stop there when we make it to #18 on Utah's Fast 50 which is the top growing companies in the state! I'm honored to be still involved with this amazing mission and look forward to many years in the future with them.
I've taken a little different approach recently to my business and have focused more on my clients and less on my team. I'd love to tell you about it so visit my blog to check things out. You'll find me at www.StorybookWithAmy.com

First day of school

Summer came and went way too fast. I can't believe it's over. But I'm glad it is . . . I need to get back to work!! Jordyn's in the 6th grade this year (oldest in the school!) and Kayden is in 3rd. They both love their teachers and are doing well already. We found the coolest thing to help us with our math . . . www. mathmagician.com. The kids WANT to practice their math because they get time on the computer. Usually I have to fight them to study, so this has been awesome! My kids are growing too fast . . . before I know it they'll be graduated!

The Wolf Pack

Kayden's had a lot of first's this year and Scouts is another one of those firsts that we are thoroughly enjoying. He's in the wolf pack in our neighborhood and is working towards his Bobcat . . . it's all new to us and we're having so much fun!

Jordyn had an absolutely fantastic year in swimming! She's a natural born swimmer and enjoyed being on the Utah County Swim team. Her best stroke by far is the freestyle where her best time was 32 seconds! But her major accomplishment was the end of the season swim meet where her coach encouraged her to do the IM (individual medley) where she had to swim all 4 strokes - 100 yards! She wasn't too happy about it but was a good sport and gave it a try. Considering she'd never swam the butterfly we thought it would be interesting to say the least. But Jordyn didn't just finish the race . . . she took 3rd place in the entire meet! Here's her trophy to remind us of what an awesome little competitor she really is. Congratulations Jordyn!

This Matters To Me

For quite some time, we have been attending Christ Evangelical church in Orem. We've found a place we can call home there and love the people and the ministry. As we've become more involved we've supported the building of a new facility for our congregation. This is an exciting time for our church because we are about to catch the attention of many who will see our new building along I-15. Worshiping in this church has brought interesting questions from those who don't understand any other faith besides LDS. So if you're ever wondering what we believe or how we worship I encourage you to come and check it out! It is through God's grace that we have found Him and have a place to call home.

What matters to me? That this new building comes together and that we have a place that our congregation can call home. Check out this great introduction to what we're all about and what we're doing. Glory to God forever. Click on this website: http://www.thismattersto.me/

4th of July Starvation Style

Great times at Starvation this year. We try to get out to Starvation as much as possible but the 4th seemed to be the time this year. We love to get on the boat anytime we can, but when you get to share it with awesome friends you just can't beat it. Here's some pics that speak for themselves.

Flag Football

Kayden's in 3rd grade this year and that means FLAG FOOTBALL!!! What fun it's been to see him start off kind of shy and work into an assertive player that loves to throw and catch the ball. Todd's been working with him a lot and is having a ton of fun watching Kayden come out of his shell a bit and grow into a STAR! He wants to play quarterback but usually gets put in as a defensive lineman . . . guess that buff little bod of his is going to pay off. Watch for my blog in 15 years and you might see a post from the super bowl!

Here's Kayden makin' a play:
