Hiking at South Fork

We spent a few days in Eagar last April for my niece's baptism. While there, we took the kids on a hike at a place near Eagar called South Fork. The kids had fun and it made me miss the White Mountains even more. It sure is beautiful up there. I hope we have many more years of being able to go up there.

Kaulin & Ali's baptism

Kaulin and Ali were baptized back in March of this year. I just found these photos and thought they would be fun to share. It was neat to see both of them get baptized on the same day. They had such a special day. We are proud of them.

Locks of Love

The day Kacie died I took the girls to get their hair cut. For the past year we have been talking about all three of us cutting our hair for locks of love. This day seemed like a perfect day. We couldn't help Kacie, but could help someone else who had cancer. So off we went.
Ali went first and I really didn't think she would go through with it, but she did. Her haircut is so darling.
Keilani went next. We weren't sure if her hair was the minimum 10 inches that is required, but after measuring and remeasuring, it was long enough. So... of went the hair. Her haircut is absolutely darling too. It matches her personality.
I was next. After measuring and remeasuring it was decided that my hair wasn't long enough. So... I have to wait a bit longer to get mine cut.
The girls look cute and love their new haircuts.

IT"S ALL ABOUT THE NAME

Of course it's all about the name. Here is one of the few pictures I have with Marnie Kiester. I was friends with her parents back at BYU-Hawaii. I love to see what a beautiful young woman she is growing in to.

Traditional family photos

It has been a tradition over the 4th of July to take family photos. We used to take pictures with all the cousins, but that has kind of faded and we take our own individual pictures. Of course it is always hard to get everyone looking and smiling. It seems like there is always someone who is grumpy. This year our pictures went pretty well. We just had a hard time getting everyone together. The kids were anxiously waiting for the parade to start.
