High School Musical


We went to see the High School Musical play at the Tuachan. We went with the Goodrich's and the Evans' clans. We went to eat at the Pizza Factory first. I craved the salad bar and pizza all day. It really hit the spot and the bread sticks with the cinnamon dip and the end was perfect. The play was great!! They really did a wonderful job and the kids loved it even though after each scene they would say "Is it over now?". We had a lot of laughs and the kids enjoyed getting autographs and pictures after. Great times!!

Cousins Camp

Drake and Sierra got to stay up to Heber for cousins camp. They had a great time and talked Grandpa and Grandma into hiking Timpanoges again and taking them to the Hogle Zoo. They had a wonderful time and always come home so excited to tell us all about what they did. They also went the best food place according to them and Grandpa, ChuckaRama. I think Grandpa has brainwashed them. Then they surprised Uncle Steve at work and sang him Happy Birthday. They also went to Wall E and Grandpa of course fell asleep. They wore them out. Thank you G & G for the great time and all the love you show the kids. They look forward to this each year.

Kassidy's Baptism

We are so proud of our niece Kassidy for making the decision to be baptized. She is such a cute girl and is a great example to all of us. She is always fun to be around and make us all laugh. They had a luncheon after and of course all the guys started bouncing kids on the tramp. They had them all flying. I failed to get a picture of Kassidy looking so beautiful in her white dress but here a few pictures of the party after. Thanks for being such a great cousin and niece. Congratulations Kassidy on being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost. It is a very special companion that you can always have with you. Just remember to always pray, read your scriptures and that Heavenly Father loves you and knows you!! We love you!!

Happy Birthday America!!


We had a lot of fun celebrating the 4th of July in Heber. Kassidy's baptism was the same weekend so we lucked out and had a great time. We did miss Steve though because he had to work and couldn't get it off. A lot of the family was willing to give up tickets to the Stadium of Fire to see Miley Cyrus and the Blue Man Group so that the kids and I could go too!! Thanks Dave, Tracie, Grandma Lee, Dad and Mom you are all awesome!! We had a wonderful barbecue at Dad and Mom's to celebrate the 4th and Tracie and Steve's Birthday. It was so nice to see everyone again. Then we headed to the Stadium of Fire. The boys liked the Blue Man Group the best and the girls of course liked Miley Cyrus but were a little disappointed she didn't turn into Hannah Montana. I love the 4th of July and I cry every time they show the troops and their families. I am so thankful to them and their sacrifices to keep us free. We live in a wonderful country and are so blessed to have the freedoms we enjoy. We Love America!!

All-Star Games 2008

We had a lot of fun watching Drake play baseball a little bit longer. He really loves the game and is good at it. He was chosen to be on the All-Star team his first year playing in the minors and Steve was chosen to be the coach with his friend and rival John Hymas and also Mike Cope. They had a great time and looked sharp and hot very hot in the black uniforms. Temps were about 113 that week so it was hot!! They played 4 games and didn't end up winning but should have won 2 games. They have a lot of talent considering those from Vegas play year round and have been playing together for few years. Drake played short-stop, 2nd and pitched a few times. He did very well and we had quite a few people compliment him on his talent. The kids all had fun running around buying snacks and more snacks even though mom packed the whole kitchen. Your awesome Drake and great coaching DAD!!
