Taylor is Engaged to Katie

Taylor is engaged to Katie Piel. She's been his good friend since early elementary school. We have loved Katie for years, and so has Taylor. If I could describe Katie I would say:

Katie is gentle

she is beautiful

self-sufficient and hard working

She is quiet, but not shy

She loves Taylor, and that is the most important thing to this Mom

Somethings I hope Katie knows about Taylor, and I think she probably does...

Taylor is one of the most kind people I know

He can be very strong willed, which is a good thing usually

He doesn't like his picture taken

I never understood why because he was the cutest little Tay Tay

and he has grown into a handsome man

Taylor takes pride in his work and works hard

Congratulations to the two of them....we love you both!

Fun Surprise

Moms and Dads:

We fed your sons tonight, and they returned the favor by feeding us spiritually.  Thought you might like to see how they are doing.

SO SAD SUMMERS ENDING :(

This summer went by faster than any I remember.

Too much work and not enough play.

We sent Ryan off on his mission,

Enjoyed our grand daughter

Had some fun vacations, and now it's time to head back to school!

Speaking of school, Lindsey graduates with her masters degree in three weeks! Way to go Lindsey!

Just got back from Pagosa Springs Colorado. On the way we stopped at Arches National Park

I've lived in Utah most of my life, but haven't ever been to Arches, it was amazingly deserty (made up that word) and red rock beautiful. Now I have seen with my own eyes the arches on our state license plates.

Delicate Arch

We didn't get nearly as close as Greg's camera makes it look, here is a better perspective...

That's it in the far background

It was still a nice hike for a chubby mom in 102 degree weather with absolutely no shade!

Lauren took her friend Ally Mears with us. They were so fun to be with. 

We hiked, swam in these amazing hot springs (very stinky though...too much sulfur), did horse back riding, tandem bikes, and explored Mesa Verde.
