Stockton and Malone...back together again!

My daughter, Taeya, has been trying to convince us to get our dog, Stockton, a playmate. So instead of waiting for us to do it, she surprised us with a cute package on our doorstep. Thanks, Taeya!

Logan is getting 2 ears!

My second grandson, Logan, was born deaf and recived a cochlear implant last year. Insurance just approved a second one ond we are just waiting for a surgery date.

Go Cougars!


Cory tried out for one of three walk-on spots on BYU's basketball team. It started off with about 60 hopefuls. After 2 days of tryouts, they cut it to 12. He made the top 12 and got to scrimmage with the other 11 in the Marriott Center. Most were former Junior College players and some D-!, D-II players. Well...he made it! He now has a locker in the Marriott Center, new Cougar shoes and playing with the fellas. They also gave him two ankle braces. He thought that was the coolest part. Didn't even have to go buy them. It is a red-shirt type position, so don't look for him on ESPN, yet. Playing time will probably come next year. Unless, some of the players get hurt...but we wouldn't want that to happen (wink-wink)!
Congratulations, Cory!

Cory is Home...

Life has been really busy, therefore I have not got into the habit of updating the blog. But here are some updates...
Cory arrived home from an honorable mission in Warsaw, Poland this past August. Steve, Tyler and I were lucky enough to fly to Poland to bring him home. The country is beautiful and I wished we had more time there. We had to get back home quickly because Cory started at BYU the first week in September. Here are some pictures of Cory's homecoming...


The airport...

Me, Cory, Danielle and Taeya (my other daughter lives in Florida and could not make it out)...

Meeting his nephew, Carter, for the first time...

At the church to get released...
My daughter, Celeste, was not able to make it home, so my other daughters made this poster so that her family could be there...

Finally home (thank you Painter's for the fun sign)...


His "first american meal" request was Taco Bell...

A bitter sweet day...


My Daughter texted me last night about President Hinckley's passing. As I heard the news, at first I was shocked, tears and overwhelming sadness over took me, and then as I regained my composer, Steve, Tyler and myself, discussed our wonderful Prophet!
How blessed we have been for 13 years to have such a Witty, Humble, Inspirational, Intelligent, Caring and Loving Prophet. I could only imagine his beautiful wife awaiting his homecoming what a joyous event that must have been! I'm sure the heavens were open arms for such a GREAT man. He will be Missed! Today we can all remember him by trying to follow his example. Maybe calling a friend, or extending some small jester of kindness. We, as Latter Day Saints are so very blessed to have a Prophet on the earth today. I just wanted to share my feelings with all of you and let you know that I know this church is true and how thankful and humble I am for this calling, how grateful I am for the priesthood, a wonderful husband and a beautiful family, AND for wonderful teachers & counselors, and the great examples you are to me!
