Vacation day one

Not sure if it really counts as a vacation day since it's mostly filled with travel, but were not at home so I guess it counts. Todd earned a getaway through ACDelco, an independent auto parts distributor, to the Dominican Republic. We fly to Dallas tonight and then Miami and end up at our destination sometime tomorrow afternoon. It's times like this that I wish I were a movie star and could hop on a privately chartered jet and could have cocktails and a nap on the way.
Nevertheless, I'm feeling very grateful that I have wonderful family members to pitch in and help with the kids ( thanks Kensie, Mitch, mom and dad) and that we even qualified to go. We are truly blessed. Stay tuned for day two.

Happy Birthday Jordyn!

Today Jordyn turns 12 !!! She's never been more of a lady than now. I'm amazed at how grown up she's become. She's beautiful inside and out and a true blessing to our family. We love you Jordyn!!

A reason to say "fabulous!"

So I've said over and over how great technology is but this time I'm truly blown away. Apple has introduced me to the world of 'applications' and I'm constantly asking myself how I ever lived without the conveniences of my iPhone and apps. As a matter of fact I'm writing this entry right from my phone ... a great reason to say FABULOUS!!

A special day for mom and Jordyn to share

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!
