Trip to Mexico!!!

Hello Family! Here is a slideshow I made to show you what a wonderful time I had in Mexico with the group Kaiizen. I had so much fun and it was such a neat experience. The kids were so cute and amazing. My favorite part of the trip was on saturday when we went and handed out food to a ton of very poor families. The pictures of all the houses were where we went to deliver food and they were so grateful. Thank you all for the support and encouragement you gave me. Love ya.

Our Mediterranean Cruis

We had such an amazing trip to the Greek Isles. We first went to Venice...and we love, love, LOVED it! It was our favorite stop on the trip! We went to Croatia, then Ephesus,Turkey and saw the ancient ruins where the apostle Paul was believed to be imprisioned and wrote to the Ephesians...fascinating! Then onto Santorini, Greece where the breathtaking view of the city is built on the top of a Volcano (believed to have sunk the Lost City of Atlantis). We had to ride Donkeys up a steep path to get to the city, then rode 4-wheelers all across the island. Corfu, Greece was our last stop..very lush and beautiful! It was so much fun to be with Zak and his family and get away for a little while. Thanks Dad and Mom for watching our kids - you're the best!

A game of marbles

About a month ago I got insanely sick, and had to call Dad and Mom for some reinforcement. Dad taught Dallin how to play the game of marbles. Dallin loved it! He was so intrigued by this game and he listened so intensely as Dad told him some of his childhood memories: his daily chart of marble gains and losses, choosing the perfect "taw" marble (the best shooting marble), and digging up a huge jar of marbles with great grandpa. Dallin's told all his friends about "marbles" and I often hear him re-explaining the rules to Braxton. As I lay SO SICK on the couch watching and listening to Dad and Dallin, I forced myself to get up grab the camera and capture this moment. This is a priceless memory between a grandpa & a grandson....thanks Dad!

It most definitely runs in the family...

Being true blue cougar fans, that is!


Dallin, Braxton & Dawson spent the night and Danny's and my house last weekend and we had so much fun! They played soccer and football in our "back yard"

And I just couldn't resist putting this picture in...so stinkin' cute!!!

Matt's Peru Trip

I just returned from a trip to Peru. I've attached a few pics from my trek through the Andes, glorious Machu Picchu and the islands of Lake Titicaca. Needless to say, it was AMAZING!!

Love,

Opposites Attract

Danny and I went to Vegas 2 weekends in a row and had such a wonderful time! Danny surprised me with tickets to Celine Dion--amazing--one weekend and the next weekend we met Danny's brother Tony and his friend and attended a fight.

Go Cougars!!!

Dawson...a born die-hard fan!





Alright, so let's be honest. We've been counting down to this 1st BYU football game at our house since, oh, about last January. The boys (all 4) could not have been more excited. There was some serious energy in our car on the way to the game as the 3 boys in the back seat sang the fight song over and over at the top of their lungs. I looked over at Zak to see what I think was a tear in his eye, from this beaming pride, of I'm sure feeling like he has fulfilled his role as their father. This was Dawson's 1st game (which I didn't know how he'd do), but from the pictures I'm sure you can tell...he LOVED it (I don't know what I was thinking, afterall, his first words were "go cougars"...I'm not kidding)! Following all the hype after the first touchdown, he looked at me and said "let's do that again Mommy." The game was a lot of fun, and thank heavens for the win, and that I got to leave with some happy boys!

4th of July at Seven Peaks

Hey Family-
Sorry this is a bit late but better late than never. Here are the pictures from our fun day at Seven Peaks. Thanks Mom and Dad for providing such a fun memory.

Danny's New Best Friend

Last week Danny got a new best friend. I wouldn't go as far as saying that I've been replaced, but I think I hold like a co-best friendship now. They go up into the mountains together, go fishing together, and they have plans to go hunting together in the Fall. They hang out together as much as possible and even go to work together. He has even gone so far as to dream about his new best friend and has had a few sleepless nights on his friends account! Sometimes I even catch Danny staring at his new best friend with that kind of "I love you" look in his eye. Strange? You ask, I know, it is, but I'm still pretty confident that I have a one-up on his new best friend, plus, he's happy right...maybe more like ecstatic...any way here is a picture of Danny and his new best friend!

My Alaskan Adventure

I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime, fishing in Alaska with my grandpa. And at risk of being left out of my grandpa's will, I am unable to discuss the exact "secret location," but I assure you it was awesome. We fished for five days on a beautful teal-colored river for king and red salmon. My biggest was in the 40 lb range, and man did it put up a fight. Catching the reds with fly rods was amazing, I could have done it all day. Highlights included taking a freshly caught king to a local restaurant where they prepared it for us four different ways and watching my aunt catapult into the glacier fed river going after a red that had gotten away. Here are some pics.

More of Spencer & Sarah's backyard paradise!

Hey family...I just found this on the Packer family gmail account, so I though I'd post it. It gives some more gorgeous views of their backyard haven! I wish it was my backyard...o wait...I wish I had a backyard! JK...we love our situation, but it will be nice to have a backyard one day!

Our own American Idol!

I don't know if anyone will think this is as funny and cute and we do. But, for those of you who watched American Idol this past season, you will remember the "beat-boxer" kid named Blake. Dallin thought it was so cool when he did his beat-boxing parts. He got a little video camera for his birthday and woke me up one Sunday morning with this little aspiring rendition.
