Brandon Turns 14!


As a family we went to BJs for dinner and their famous Pazaookies!!!
Sorry -- bad picture -- but we had a yummy chocolate fountain!
Trippy picture -- His friend Zack kept jumping in front
of the camera and we laughed about how he is "Casper" the ghost.
The kids had fun playing giant Twister!

The kids had fun hanging out in the pool and jacuzzi.

After "forking" a few houses, it's time for dessert. Two groups aren't

back yet for this photo. (Sorry!)

Jason Does Ancestor Report for 4th Grade Open House

Jason chose TRG Welch, his Great-Great-Great Grandpa for his ancestory report. Grandma Moore helped out alot with finding stories. We searched on the internet and found actual travel logs that showed his family was on the George Washington Immigrant Ship and then joined a Mormon Wagon company. Jason loved getting to know him better and reading of his lifestyle.

Megan Dances In High School Dance Production

This is Mean's 2nd year being in dance at the school. It was fun to watch the production this year as she danced in
5 of the numbers.

She tried to pick the most modest of the

costumes which wasn't easy. She choreographed a dance with the two girls on the far right (Chelsea Dransfield and Chelsea Arnold - both friends from church). Their dance was so good it was picked to be in the production!

Flowers from her family!!!
Looks like we'll be doing this again her Senior Year!

I'm Forthy FREAKIN' Five!!!



Eric surprised my with two tickes to Stagecoach - a huge 3-day country western outdoor concert in Indio. He & I drove out Friday night and listened to Trisha Yearwood, Dan Fogerty and the Eagles. We got home at 1:30 AM - with a tour hour drive each way.

Brian Connors scored 4 tickets for Saturday so with our 2, we were able to take both families as kids under 14 got in for free. (Brandon's birthday is the 29th so he barely made it.) We drove out again and got to see Bucky Covington (former American Idol), Taylor Swift, Dierks Bently, The Judds, and Rascal Flats. Sunday's line-up was even better (Carrie Underwood, Big & Rich, Tim McGraw) but we were good kids and went to church.

Enjoy our pictures! Brian & Marleen bought me a hat for my birhtday! Guess that means more Country concerts are in the future for me!!

Our AMAZING Cruise!!


We just had an amazing time! These pictures are just a few highlights. I think between Megan & I we took over 700 photos. 7 days of non-stop fun! Parasailing in Cabo, Horseback riding in Mazatlan and Canopy (zip line) in Puerta Vallarta. An overabundance of food was available on the ship and Brandon is proud of the 8 pounds he gained. The kids went to the ice cream shop several times a day. I personally miss my made-to-order Banana's Foster Waffles with whipped cream. The only thing to make it better would be to have our friends and family on board!!
