Sister Motley's Baby Shower!

Our darling Young Women had so much fun planning and organizing a surprise shower for Sister Motley and baby Kyle! The week before the shower, we made 2 cute diaper cakes at mutual! The girls had so much fun putting them together and decorating the cakes! And then with Sister Newbold's help, we tied a quilt for the baby. Sister Motley went into the hospital that night and had Kyle the next morning! So...for mutual the next week, we said that we were meeting at our house to work on "humanitarian quilts" and Bro. Motley convinced his wife to go and show off Kyle! The girls arrived early to help decorate and set up for the shower. Finally, Sister Motely arrived with Kyle and she was completely surprised! It was great! We played a couple of shower games, passed Kyle around, ate some yummy goodies and had a fun time! Now we can't wait for Sister McNaughton's baby to come!

Meet of Champions!

I ran in the Meet of Champions Invitational, in the 1600 and was the only freshmen. It was really fun to have my grandparents, cousins, parents, and siblings there.

Tyler's mission president, Pres. Itinose was called to be an Area Authority at conference this past weekend. Pres. Itinose and his wife came for the weekend for conerence. Thursday, President called Tyler and told him that he had tickets for the Saturday morning session with Elder Hunt, Elder Wilson, and his daughters Melina and Mariana.

Celebrating Suzanne's Birthday in NYC!

I took my high school girlfriend, Suzanne to New York City to celebrate her birthday! We have been talking about doing this for some time and Mark just finally insisted that I should make it happen on her birthday! What a perfect way for two friends to celebrate! We had a great time shopping, touring the city and seeing the sights, reminiscing about the good old days at Tempe High school and spending time together! We got to spend time with Brett and Kimber and see their new place...it is darling! One night, we met up with another girlfriend from high school, Julie Floyd, who lives in New York City! It was so great to be all together again! Saturday was Suzanne's birthday and we went to WICKED! It was still incredibly awesome...the third time! It made me remember how grateful I am for dear friends, and the opportunity to make wonderful memories with them, and for my dear, sweet husband who cares so much about others, especially my friends...so grateful that he is someone who makes things happen! Happy Birthday, Suzanne! I love you!

One of our favorite Park City traditions~The Deer Valley Seafood Buffet!

One of our favorite things to do in Park City is go to dinner at the Deer Valley Seafood Buffet! It is truly amazing! The Crandall family joined us, along with Mariana and Melina, President Itinose's daughters and a couple of other friends! We had quite a large group so we took over the back room! While we were at dinner, President called his daughter, Mariana. When he heard that they were at dinner with our family, he asked to talk to Tyler. What a treat for him to talk to his mission President! It has been really fun for our family to get to know Mariana and Melina while they have been at BYU! And we are anxious to meet the rest of the family in June, when we go down to Brazil! It was a fun night! We all ate so much that we could hardly move! Everything tasted delicious! And we just had to take a picture with everyone in front of the fireplace...it's a Deer Valley tradition!!

Spring Break SkiFest in Park City!

It was an awesome week in Park City with all the family together! Brett and Kimber flew out from New York to join us for a week of skiing, which was wonderful! Tyler, Allie & Justin came up on the weekends to ski and hang out with us. And Brett's family were in Utah for Spring Break too, so they came up to Park City part of the week and joined us on the mountain one day! It is great to have such a wonderful family to share Brett and Kimber with! The weather was great, sunny skies...check out our goggle tans in the next slide show!, the snow was awesome...love that Utah powder!...and we spent lots of time with our sweet family and good friends! It felt like a little heaven on earth!

Celebrating Justin's Mission Call to Brazil at Tucanos!

On Wednesday night, we took Justin, the family and Elder Bryan Hunt to Tucanos to celebrate Justin's mission call to the Brazil Salvador mission! The food was great! Everyone had a good time, especially Elder Hunt(Bryan) and Elder Holt(Tyler), who reminisced about their missions, and shared stories about Brazil and gave Justin advice! We are so excited for Justin and know that he will be a great missionary! Congratulation, Elder Larkin!

You guys are the best!

Sadie's Lunch at GBHS!

Brooke was in charge of all the lunchtime activities during Sadie's Week at GBHS. She asked Dad and I to help at Sadie's lunch on Friday. It was fun to be on campus and watch Brooke MC the Tug of War in the quad! She did a great job! Of course, the Seniors won!! Doesn't that bring back fond memories all you, GBHS/student government alumni? Good times, huh?!
