Braces!! October 24th, 2012

Ali got her braces on this month. Mandi was so mad, because she wants them too! When Izzy came to visit, we had to get pictures of their "Tin Grins"

Lilly's 1st Camping Trip - October 5th, 2012

For Labor day weekend, we took our last camping trip for this year. We stayed in Zion at the Watchman Campground. Jessica, Justin and the kids came up for one night. It was Lilly's 1st camping trip. The weather was perfect. Ali brought her telescope to look at all the stars.We rode the shuttle to the Lodge and had ice cream cones, and took the traditional family picture under the big tree. (I have pictures from when our kids were little,  under the same tree) Jessica's back was hurting really bad, so they didn't go hiking. After they left, we hiked the Pa'rus Trail back to our campsite.

Alex Ordained - September 30th, 2012

Our oldest grandson Alex turned 16. He is a very talented and smart young man. We are very proud of him. He also got his drivers license, and went on his 1st date! We are happy he made the decision to be Ordained a Priest. He doesn't like his picture taken, but he let me take one before he got out of his church clothes!
